I was in Williamsburg over the Thanksgiving holiday and during a stroll in the garden behind the Inn I was taken with the pattern and colors in the bark of this tree.

The gray and orange combination would make a very sophisticated color palette for either an interior and exterior of a home.

Quite a different look [...]

One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving are cranberries. I just love these little red berries and in honor of Thanksgiving I am raising this humble fruit from red berry to a complete palette of inspiring red hues.

To pick just one color would require me to dismiss all of the many gorgeous red hues [...]

Actually completely inspired but loved the play on words because today’s color scheme inspiration comes from my friend and CMG colleague Paul Half and his blog Half2Know.

I took a section of his blog and created the color palette shown below.  I think the colors work great for his blog header but couldn’t you just image [...]

The picture and the palette [...]

A visit to JCrew inspired this color palette.

What a colorful way to start my day.

It’s fun to have people tell me that something reminds them of me and especially fun when it is something that is this brilliant both in color and idea.

Thanks for thinking of me Mickal and sending this my way.
