My NEW-FAVORITE COLOR!

I've always been a neutral color- kind of gal.  To be honest, when it came to decorating my home-the thought of using bright colors frightened the heck out of me.  I figured it was safer to stick with the tried and true colors-like taupe-beige-muted greens and blues.  Safe.  I like safe-but what I don't like is boring.

Lately I've been taking stock of each room in our house, and guess what I see?

You got it!  BORING!!

So, I decided maybe it is time to step out of my comfort zone.

  After all-my daughter, Mel has always found it quite easy to embrace the world of color. 

I remember the first time I saw the teal paint color on Mel's living room walls. I was shocked!  TEAL!  Yikes!

But, the funny thing is-the more I visited, the more that color grew on me.  The more I embraced it, and yes, LOVED it.  The teal color did brighten up Mel's living room-but in a good way.  It was both cheerful and peaceful!

That is when it hit me.  Color doesn't have to be scary! It can actually be fun to incorporate into each of my VERY boring rooms!

I can start slow.  I mean- don't have to paint an entire room in a BRIGHT color.  But instead, do what Mel did.

I could do an accent wall in our master bedroom.

Or, paint a picture frame for a burst of color!

 And those five mason jars that I've collected... well, how about using them to add a splash of color in the bathroom?

Of course, I can always mix and match.  Not everything has to be TEAL. (Although-you guessed it-it's my new fave!)  

I can combine it with other colors- like this pillow- or.....

Bedding!

I can do all these things-and SO much more!  All because I've finally embraced the world of Color-and I LOVE it!

I'd love to know what your favorite color is-and see how you've incorporated it into your home!  Drop me a line-until then... Happy Friday!
