If you love color as much as me, you must check out the book
Colors For Your Home - 300 Designer Favorites from the editors of House Beautiful Magazine. I've seriously been so inspired since receiving it in the mail. More importantly though, I've never felt so confident in choosing the perfect shade of paint!
The handy-sized book is filled with great info and amazing pictures (and lots of color...real paint swatches!) You can easily find your perfect color by room, shade, designer, mood and more. I had no idea that a turquoisey
Aruba Blue 2048-30 from Benjamin Moore is approved as a "Color Men Love"! It's no surprise though,
Seafoam Green 2039-60 will give your room a sunny feeling. And get this, one of my favorite shades,
Cool Aqua 2056-40 can be used as a quick color fix.
So if you're looking to paint a room, or just like looking at pictures of pretty rooms (lots, lots more than just these pretty blue ones above...), you won't be disappointed in
Colors For Your Home. There are over 300 tried and true colors in this book that were all beautifully used in real homes by real interior designers. So much inspiration in a book that fits in your purse and costs less than a gallon of paint!
If you're interested, here are the links to it on
Amazon
and
Barnes and Nobles.
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Time to getaway! The color palette of this country home designed by Steven Gambrel gives off such a relaxing vibe. It just feels so quiet...if that's possible! I think the first image is my favorite. The blue and white prints, the lanterns, the window panes...it's all so pretty!
And Hello 2009! I'm completely confident that you all rang in the new year with complete style!
So I am back from my vacation! I had a wonderful time in Colorado, in addition to a very leisurely ride back to Minnesota. The weather pretty much cooperated the entire time, except for Sunday when we got stuck in Des Moines...but I wasn't ready to go home yet anyway!
This hallway is oh-so-pretty. I love the different patterns and textures....and obviously the beautiful blue colors! -HouseToHome
I absolutely love this painted stair runner. It totally makes this stairway even more fabulous (although the gorgeous mirror and light fixture don't hurt either.) -Apartment Therapy
I don't have any clue how Desire to Inspire always finds such talented designers, but Fiona Newell Weeks now tops my list of favorites. Best known for her use of color, Fiona likes her rooms to be creative and entertaining to the eye. I'd easily say my eyes are LOVING these images!
