as i was happily painting away i was thinking of how my love of colour has grown all the more since i started this blog. i've been hugely inspired by other people's use of colour...see here + here + here...plus i've really immersed myself in it as a subject on several occasions e.g. joining in julie's colour week and marta's mellow + yellow swap.
looking back i think i always surrounded myself with/wore/used some colour day to day...steering clear of darker shades + black...but recently i'm embracing colour all the more...it lifts my mood no end. when we moved into our house the walls pretty much all got painted white (along with a lot of bits of furniture too which became a bit of a joke to my husband) but slowly there's been an injection of colour into each room. there's still a whole lot more i'd like to do but i'm glad i held back + waited for each corner to speak out as to what shade it needed to be. hope everyone's having a good week...the sunshine has been peeking out today here : )

I was thinking the exact same thing the other day. I feel less scared of colour now than a year ago, when my preference seemed to be bland is beautiful.
Colour cetianly does lift the spirits or can depress them. In our old house our bedroom was F&B String -I hated it.
Your chest of drawers looks wonderful.
Do you have any paint left over? What's next??
oh it turned out beautiful Kelly!!!
And i think its such a good idea to wait when moving into a new home and see what the rooms feel like after living in them..
Have a lovely weekend xxxx
Oh I love that shade of green. I've been looking for a similar shade myself having suddenly become quite attracted to green having never liked it much before. I think you're so right painting everything white to start with before decided what colours to inject into rooms. Our flat is rented and everywhere is horrible magnolia. I long for some colour on the walls!
I love this color, this definitely makes the furniture a lot more cheery.
your pictures lift my spirits every time i pop by - thank you x

love the colour, nice phone too!!
hi nesty
very nice transformation, you really are an inspiration!
love bizelily xx
Great colour especially with the pink phone! I've got a tablecloth tucked away and I've been thinking 'skirt' too - but will it still look like a tablecloth? But obviously it doesn't - so I might just do it too!
