Sexy Eggs


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!

The Colors of CowFish

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.

Give Me Some Peanut & Butter Jelly Colors!

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.

Please Give Peach a Second Chance!

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?

Color Is Just Like a Cheese Platter

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 platter, I mean palette.
