Look at all the colors in these fish! This is a perfect example of how you can find beauty in things that are not so attractive at first. Like I always say, look at the secondary colors, the colors that you don't see at first, because they can be the best ones in the photograph. Healthy eating and a great color palette - what more do you need?

I am just drooling over this Color Recipe! Not only do I love pickled Ginger but I love this color too. I choose a similar color for my daughters room because it's not pink and it's not peach, it's a nice color compromise and a unique color at that. See how nice it looks with white? Follow that lead when you paint your room.

I was making some hard boiled eggs today and when they were done cooking I put them on this red towel. I don't know if it was the contrast in color or the roundness of the eggs but I found this photograph very sexy. I'd enlarge it and put it in the kitchen for sure!!!! I'll have a great egg salad tomorrow!

If you live anywhere in Charlotte, North Carolina I'm pretty sure that you know all about Cowfish. Crazy name right? Yes but the sushi is probably the best I've even eaten.
We all eat with our eyes so the food not only has to taste good but it also has to look good. I'm always in awe with the way they present the food. So good. So beautiful. So colorful.

What are peanut butter and jelly colors you say? They are colors that just belong together like well, peanut butter and jelly, cream and coffee, lobster and butter, steak and potatoes. See what I mean?
Peanut butter and jelly colors are just two colors that look so amazing together you'll want to eat them.

Why are people so afraid of the color peach? As soon as I mention peach in a color consultation I get the face you know, the one that looks like you just bit into a lemon? How did such a pretty, innocent color become so hated?
I think we have the 80's to blame on this one my friends. It's the dreaded sea-foam and peach color combination that soiled our minds forever.

Sometimes color is neutral like a Swiss, sharp like a Cheddar or just too saturated like a processed Velveeta. You can have a nice juicy pop of green like a grape or add strong accent colors to tie in and coordinate with other colors in your home.
Color for your home needs to have a balance of just the right combination of light, dark, accent and neutral colors to make a really nice Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15025125419403123024noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3663879586970061364.post-11633591462755658742013-06-16T15:13:00.000-04:002013-06-16T15:14:09.641-04:00Mac's Speed Shop in Charlotte Has The Best Mac & Cheese.

Do you love bacon? I'm going to assume that's a yes. I haven't met one person who does't love bacon - even my vegetarian son!
Do you love bacon enough to put it on your walls? Not literaly of course but how about capturing those crispy, rich hues and bring them into your home? I think it's a great and delicious idea.

Pink whites, blue whites, yellow whites, green whites! Which white is best white to use when there is so many to choose from?
You would think choosing white is easy right? Sure! Just pick one, paint and you're done. But - after the paint dries you see that your “white” looks a bit green and somehow your beige carpeting looks really pink. That's because you chose the wrong white.

Did you know that various forms of Ginger - non alcoholic ginger ale or beer, pills and candied ginger root have been used to counter the nausea of motion sickness? Well why don't you take this stomach setting hue into your home?
Picture these colors in a dining room and yes, they are VERY non-traditional colors to use for a dining room but that's ok!

Earth tones are great to have in a home as your base colors. Why? Because you can add just about ANY color with them and it will look great. I actually have very similar colors in my bedroom and I love them. They are relaxing, warm and cozy which is what you want for a bedroom. Here's some accessories you can bring in that will go with these hues. Happy decorating!

Peach has gotten such a bad reputation of being very old fashioned. You really don't see that much peach or even light orange in homes today. Well, I'd like to change that!
Peach is very much like cantaloupe. Either you love it or you hate it but there's really no in-between. But like anything else, you have to be careful which peach your choose and what colors you pair up with it.

I've been talking, blogging, tweeting and writing a lot lately about how beige is really bugging me. The funny thing is, I see it bugging my clients to. What does this mean exactly? People are just getting bored with beige. It seems that beige is the color people gravitate towards when they just don't know what else to choose.

“Penny for your thoughts. What are you thinking about?”
I can say this, if you somehow arrived at this blog, you may have a thought or two about color or painting your home.
Thinking about …
I'm thinking about paining my foyer.
My son has left for college and I think I'd like to paint his room.
We are having a baby girl. I think I'd like a pink - not sure.
