Day 10: What a Colourful World…
{Cue music and hear Louie Armstrong singing, “What a Wonderful World”…}
Oh, I love, love, LOVE colour. Lots and lots of colour. I decided to dig around in my photo archives and show you some colors I love. Each one represents a different “feel” for me:
Pink…soft, feminine, pretty.
Blue…calm, soothing, peaceful.
White…clean, crisp, fresh, dreamy
Green…fresh, new, life
Yellow…happy, bright, cheery
Brown…stable, solid, rustic
Red…rich, energetic, romantic ~

There’s no doubt about it. The use of colour is the most impactful of all home decor choices.
Take our basement Laundry Room for example.
A few cans of paint (and yes, a fair bit of work!) completely changed the look and feel of the room.
However, my love of ALL colors is a bit problematic when choosing specific color schemes.
{Help! I’m a color schizophrenic!}
In our previous house, I chose rich, bold colors ~ like golden yellow, barn red, and dark blue ~ for wall colors. I loved it.
There.
Then.
But…when I moved into this house, something was different. The house was different, but then, so was I.
I realized that our home decor tastes change as the seasons of our lives do, too.
Gone was the season of lego blocks, tonka trucks, and toddling boys grabbing my legs {sniff, sniff). Our family was growing and changing. It was a new season. It was time for change.
Tomorrow I’ll show you some resources that helped me narrow down the choices.

Wonderful!! I totally agree about home decor tastes changing.
