What is your favorite color?

Hey everyone.....

I have been doing lots of looking out on the net for color trends....

what's hot....

what's not.....

......and having SOOOOO much fun.

It's been a long time since I spent time really searching out the latest hot colors, the lastest fibers and fabrics.

I am LOVING it!!!!

In my past life as an interior designer, this was a part of my everyday life.

I would spend 6-8 hours a day knee deep in fabrics and paint swatches and wallpaper books.

Just an FYI, it is not a good idea to wear black or navy to work when you will be speding the day leafing through fabric samples.....

There were days I would go home just COVERED in tiny little fibers from the sample books.

What a site that was!!!

I practically had to use the vacuum on myself at the end of every work day.

So, while I was researching this spring and summers hot color trends.....

.......I was wondering what YOUR favorite color is?

Forget about trends.....forget about what your friends have in their homes, or the colors you have used in decorating your own homes.

So what IS your fave color?

Mine is Blue.......

 

I have loved just about anything blue since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

(Is that just a West Virginia saying? or have you heard it before?)

I like light blue, dark blue, sky blue, navy blue, just about any thing that has blue in it.....

So BLUE it is....

Along the way, I also cheated on my blue.....

and made pit stops at purple (has some blue in it right?)

and more recently pink and aqua.

I love bright energy filled colors.

AND I love soft muted colors.

In my OWN spaces I have always been a little more conservative by using the muted shades....

I may have thrown in some pink or blue, but always in smaller doses
...more of an accent color than a statement color.

But the last couple of years I have been having fun throwing in reds, and yellows, and oranges and aquas and pinks.....

Still just in small touches, but the use of brighter colors is growing on me and REALLY making a showing in my home.

My favorite color may still be blue........

BUT......

I am open to just about ANYTHING....

One cool room that proves it?????

Kristi at Addicted 2 Decorating has recently painted her office black and I LOVE it.

No I REALLY REALLY do!!!!

I never thought I would love a room that started with black as the main wall color.......

....... but she has some great ideas to brighten up those dark walls, and I plan to follow her journey on decorating her office with the bright colors she loves.

YOU HAVE GOT TO CHECK IT OUT HERE !!!

So, what colors make you happy????

....make you wanna sit a spell?????

....make you feel GREAT when you wear them?????

I would love to hear from every one of you!!!!

Until next time.....
