Mood Indigo: Dark Blue Rooms
Indigo is the sixth color of the rainbow. Our eyes see it as a deep shade of blue, but this color is actually in between blue and violet.

Indigo will make a bold statement in your home and serve as a terrific backdrop for brighter, vivid accent colors as well as gold and silver. Definitely a way to set the mood!
eDesign: California Dreamin’
I recently finished an eDesign project for Annette, who lives in southern California. I was very fortunate to have the opportunity to design four rooms in her home, which was a blast because Annette is definitely not afraid of color and she already had great furniture pieces. For your inspiration, I’m sharing two of the projects in this post.
In the family room, we did a ‘Palm Springs Chic’ design with cheery yellow and gorgeous green wall colors {June Day and Picnic, both by Sherwin Williams}. The look also included fun, retro accessories — some of them from Jonathan Adler.
For her master bedroom, Annette wanted a glam look that included turquoise with a splash of jewel tones. The design included a turquoise ceiling {Belize by SW}, gray walls {Functional Gray by SW} and pops of red. Below is my computer rendering of the space:
When I last heard from Annette she was in the process of painting her home, although the bedroom is already done. She says that she and her husband are really enjoying the turquoise ceiling! I hope to have photos to share with you soon.

Pink Epiphany
I just had a color revelation: I really like pink! I love many colors, although purple — lilac to be exact — is my utmost favorite. But lately, I find myself being drawn to pretty pink spaces {and things} like these:
{I just love the boho chic designs of warymeyers}
{One of my favorite pink spaces: designer Betsey Johnson’s NYC apartment}
{Like the room. Love the purple ceiling! Photo from bing.}
Go global! When you combine orange with pink (above), it creates an exotic feel, as in a Moroccan or Indian inspired space. Design by Barbara Chambers.

I don’t have a pink room in my home {That’s hard to do with the hubby plus three sons} but here are some of my pink things…
Have you ever had a color revelation? I’d love to hear about it!
