Wow, she sure isn’t afraid of color! I think these rooms pull it off nicely, though. It’s like an accent instead of an all-out color craze.

Brandi

I am going home and doing that to my dining room chandelier tonight! Thanks for the inspiration!!

Courtney Baker

She got it from Lowes according to her blog. I feel like I’ve actually seen it, it just looks so different in that pretty aqua.

Lizzy

I am going crazy for that fire place! What a great way to add a punch of color & to make a statement!

Anyone know where the curtains in the dining room are from? I’ve been looking for ones with those colours.

Christine

beautiful! crazy question, but anyone know the gray paint color (or know a similar color code) that she has in the dining room? I’ve been trying to find a shade of gray for my living room that would create this same effect, and it seems like she has picked perfectly!

I love the use of color against the white walls- it’s almost as if the color itself is an accessory.

erin

does anyone know where those green sneakers/flats are from that shes wearing in the first photo??

The curtains are Urban Outfitter “bed spreads” that I sewed into curtains. The chairs are a garage sale find that I painted and recovered the cushions. FYI recovering chair cushions is the easiest thing ever. All you need is fabric and a staple gun.

Although I love the Scandinavian all white interior, the colour outburst here is just wonderful! Especially in these dark winter months…

Colette

That is the most amazing room I’ve seen for a long time. You have such fresh and inspiring taste. You give color a new definition.

Lindsey Rose

You have great taste in color combinations. I love the wall mural.

the dining room wall–golden yellow and gorgeous turquoise mural–has stolen my heart. beautiful!
