I love color, a LOT.
My current house is like a crayon box. And I like it because color makes me feel alive. I've always had the mindset of keeping furniture neutral and changing out the wall color. Which, is much easier, less expensive, & changes the look of your room dramatically in a day's time. Fantastic!!
But now I'm moving to a house that has beautiful new neutral paint all throughout that I don't dare mess with because I really like it. But when I move all my neutral furniture into it....part of me may die with ALL that neutral surrounding me.
So.....
Today, just now in fact, I decided on a color pallet for my new house. The walls will remain neutral, but a lot of furniture will be painted and throw pillows thrown in and a loveseat is going to brave a reupholstering. This has been keeping me up at night people. Deciding on a color pallet.
And maybe I come across as crazy. But everyone has their thing. And this is mine.
And so I present to you my giggle & squeal idea of the morning:
Teal (varied light & dark)
Chartreuse
Plum
Mustard
Espresso
GET EXCITED!!!!
& a dark olive green! I forgot that.

Now I won't be able to sleep for two reasons; 1.) just the excitement of it all.. and 2.) the misspelling of the word palette unless your dream is to have the most colorful pallet a forklift would ever want...
: - )
I stay up thinking of these types of things too, which I am sure no one would guess seeing as my house is about as plain jane as it gets right now. Good luck. I think its going to look great. Especially the mustard. I think that brings all the colors together.
I love love color too, I mean our couch is actually purple. Along with our bedroom dressers peach, and our kitchen table soon to be yellow. Since we live in apartments I like to paint and recover our furniture since we cant redo our walls. So I am very excited for you. The colors look awesome :-)
Can't wait to see pictures of your new place!
P.S. I could use your painting skills at my house, just F.Y.I. :)
Love the color choices! I can't wait to see how it all turns out. :)
There are people that just know what looks good!!!! You are one of them, I trust everything about your style you have an eye for things. I can't wait to see what you do with your new house, I love your cute cottage house too, it's so cozy. I have stayed awake rearranging furniture in a house I have moved into yet until my brain hurt! Then when I did get to finally do it the scale in my brain wasnt even close to the actual room size??? But I lloved the process of it! I am so excited for you.
hmmm I swear I wrote a comment on this one.
anyway these colors all look great together!
and no your not crazy for losing sleep over these things. so do I.
Have fun with this project! can't wait to see it in person!
Love ya
