Color Palette: Take A Cue From Nature

Green Is The Word

After I was finished at my desk yesterday, I popped over to my neighbor Joan and Tom's for a paint consultation.

Joanie had some pictures of greens she liked, but wanted a second opinion on colors and combinations for doing an accent wall.

They're considering doing the lighter end of the green spectrum, but that still leaves lots of choices. We talked last night about using another color, purple shades, as accents in the room on pillows and such.

I explored that spectrum on etsy this morning and created a treasury featuring some favorites that fall into those shades.


I also took Lucan for a walk this morning and gather bits and pieces that spoke to those colors.


Lichen, grass, fern, wild olive, milkweed pod, wild aster.........a lot caught my eye.



The great thing is you can play off those light shades of green with a lot of different colors. You can make them more neutral if you pair with grays or browns. The possibilities are endless.


It's a beautiful day here, though it did get quit cool and windy last night. It's not what I'd call warm, but the sun is shining against a clear blue sky. It works for me.

Finalized one logo design yesterday and started on another that is going very well already. Looking forward to designing more today.

What's on your plate?

Ciao for now,

How Green Is My Valley


Beneath My Feet

I'm taking my cue from Elle Moss' 21 Day Photo Challenge theme today. Grass. So many shades, so vibrant, so quick to grow. (What is with that by the way?)

Day 7: Grass

My grass inspired entries for Elle Moss 21 Day Photo Challenge.....me and my wellies in grass and Lucan making his way up the hill.




They're both all about the grass.

How's your day going? Mine's half gone and I don't know how that happened, especially since I've been up since 5:30. Where does the time go?

ciao for now,
