Thank you so much for sharing some of Mr. Bilhuber’s work. I agree with everyone’s comments above. Creating something new with color is, in some ways, like writing a new musical score. It takes courage to do that; to try something new and/or bold. Safe color combinations can be a simpler route. But designers like Bilhuber are willing to take chances so that we can enjoy the results. What a breath of fresh air his palettes are!

Loved this post. I just love his work, I have his latest book and I just love the way he has the leaves or petals or fruit on the table in addition to in the bowl or vase. Looks so casual yet at the same time elegant! Great post!

You’re welcome Shirley. I actually didn’t know I recalled so much about what Jeffrey said until I started telling Julie about it and then more and more kept coming back to me.

So glad you could attend. It was such a fun and informative day.

I attended the event and loved every minute. Kate obviously took better notes than I did, Thank you Kate! So much to take in, and then to learn to relax and be confident, thank you Jeffrey Bilhuber. I will do my best to pass on the encouragement to the new moms to be that read my blog..

Sounds like the Institute had a terrific line up of speakers/presenters. It’s inspiring to see someone with enough “color confidence” using color combinations that on the surface may not be compatible in conventional terms.
