Color Inspiration


I work from home and needed to both ground my workspace and make it a place where I felt I could be creative. I first chose a lighter blue, but was inspired by the rich colors in the offices on MAD MEN to try something more dramatic.

Color Tips


In this case, I kept it very simple. Letting the deep blue be the major player.

@acrose - the jar is a "wish jar" made for me for my 30th birthday by a dear friend. It's a bunch of little things that reminded her of me.

@susan1741 - couldn't keep her out of the shot :)

@Kaye - thank you!!!
