Welcome to The Colour Challenge linkup!
I admit, my own colour additions are small and simple. I simply didn't have time to actually paint something big, plus I'm still feeling my way around vibrant doses of all things fun, so I made my changes easy.
The muted tones of nature added a whole different flavour to this little rustic vignette. I LOVE it now!
The pretty aqua basket was my mom's.
It's simple, provides an awesome function, and serves as a gentle reminder of one of my best friends.
Next up, the main bath got hit. Pinky swear, I did NOT remove colour in order to get this colourless pic. :)
A beautiful hand done original painting by The Old Post Road steals the show in this little bathroom corner! A simple crate becomes the perfect rustic frame to accompany a picture holding alot of deep meaning for me.
Have you visited The Old Post Road's Etsy shop before? Trish's work is so bright and cheerful! And I can vouch it's even prettier in person. :)
Nature helped me out next.
I realize the colour you are seeing here is very subtle. Baby steps, people. :) But even the tiniest bit of colour made a big impact in these zones. When more time is on my side, I can't WAIT to push this colour thing a little further!
Ok, here's one more. My son and I escaped this weekend to a lakeside resort as part of a contest win I had. (I'll be sharing the details soon!) I shot this picture just today at Harrison Hot Springs, BC Canada. Doesn't the colour simply complete the picture here?
Inspire me to really get it, my colour loving friends!

ReplyDeleteI love that photo of the clothes hanging and the yellow flowers in the back ground. I bet your trip was great! I can't wait to see those photos.
ReplyDeleteToo fun! I have to remind myself to do this too! I get stuck using a lot of neutrals! :)
ReplyDeletelookin good as usual Donna...you created a new coffee table or my memory has gone south? Hope you and your son had a blast on your weekend
ReplyDeleteThis is fun but I really can't participate. I have probably too much color already. Everything I do has to have pops of color, especially red. I don't think I have anything lacking color that I can change. It will be fun to visit all of the other links and see how others are using color.
ReplyDeleteDonna - Love how you placed the painting in the crate! What a great idea! Thanks for the mention!

Donna, I just adore your decorating style! I love the way you added color because in your neutral environment it really makes the colors stand out so they can be enjoyed more. If only you lived closer and could help domestically-challenged me!
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice post...All the images inspire me to try some paint projects and be more creative and adventurous in coloring my world.
ReplyDeleteI so enjoyed this post Donna. Those pops of color were just enough to make a great addition to your already fabulous spaces. Any so easily changed as well. Love this post and was way inspiring. Now to find the time to execute some of this beauty.
