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?

Ginger

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.

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.

Bacon. X Marks the Spot

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.  Come on! Let's build the perfect bacon cheese burger for your home.

I have a few colors here that I took right from the bacon itself. They are dark rich hues but are just gorgeous! Now the question is, where and how can you use these colors in your home? Let's try to figure that out.

The top color is very similar to Raucous Orange by Sherwin Williams. It's a super rich and spicy color that I see many people have in their kitchens. Here's how that would look. Now this is a contemporary kitchen but you can still use this color in just about any style kitchen. Also keep in mind, it it's too much color for you, use it in small doses or of course in accessories but this color would be great to start your day with.

Raucous Orange, Saucy Gold and Roycroft Copper Red by Sherwin Williams are the paint colors to use to get this look for your home. 

Like I said before, if you don't want to commit to these strong hues in your home, lighten them up just a bit and think about fabrics and accessories such as this Zimba Tangerine pillow from CR Laine Furniture.

Which White Should I Use?

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.
