Inspired!

Last year I posted on FB about filling my Smash Book with magazine clippings of inspirational photos; color combos I like and home decor projects.  But the old saying "out of sight, out of mind" is so true!  I hadn't pulled the book out in so long, I forgot about these two pages.

I recently started scrapping in the Smash Book and found them in a pocket.  The bright Caribbean colors of this backyard oasis

 really spoke to me.  I can't be at the beach, but I can bring it to my space.

Do you see where I got the inspiration for my wall color?

All the colors together are so bright, happy and cheerful.

Do you have a place that inspires you and your work?

Thanks for stopping by!

Sweet Rhapsody

Hello loves!  The change in seasons seemed like the perfect time to move to my new craft room...and I need to be out of the old one this week...so hubby and I have been very busy! 

This is the new space before any changes.  Once dear hubby and I cleared it out, I chose the paint color.

I mentioned the beach theme to a friend with a flair for design and she dropped these paint swatches off for me to browse.  Yeah, I have pretty thoughtful friends.  So many yo choose from, how will I decide?

I settled on Sweet Rhapsody by Behr in an eggshell finish.  It's vibrant but relaxing and looks good under any lighting.  This will be my retreat after all ;)

A little peek at the painting in progress...can't wait to show you more!
