COLOUR STORY: blue + orange
There’s something about the combo of blue and orange that I’m drawn to. I think it has vintage je-ne-sais-quoi about it, even if it’s in a modern setting. Maybe it’s the high contrast between these two colours that are opposite on the ol’ colour wheel that sucks us in (or turns us off). I’m sure there’s…

COLOUR STORY: collections to make you green with envy
I’ve been into groupings and collections as long as I can remember. It was the theme of my final year end project in high school art class and I think it’s the main reason I love flea markets so much because they are full of them. If you come to my loft you’ll find a…

COLOUR INSPIRATION: Behr Marquee collection & $500 Home Depot Giveaway
This time of year always brings about those feelings to change things up a bit, especially around the house. Are you with me? I know you’ve heard it before but a coat of paint really has the power to completely change a look – whether it’s a room, just a wall, a whole house, or…

COLOUR STORY: pinks + greens
So I was on Pinterest the other day (shocking!) looking through my colour board and noticed a theme. It wasn’t obvious at first but I kept seeing pops of pink & green colour combo. Call me a trend spotter or just a pink & green lover but you can’t deny that these guys look great together…

{SPACES: pretty in purple}
Ok, so it isn’t exactly Radiant Orchid but it’s pretty close. In fact I would say that Radiant Orchid falls under the Purple colour umbrella. What’s interesting is that I actually put together this trend board before the new year and Pantone’s Colour of the Year announcement. I guess that just means I’m incredibly trend…
