I've always leaned towards browns, blacks, creams and earthy colors in home decoration, that's the boring in me. But, I don't know, I'm kind of starting to like bright colors more. Kaleidoscope kind of colors, like turquoise, fuchsia, pink, aqua, violet, yellow, orange... all combined together. I admit that could be a bit retina-searing sometimes, but if expertly put together... it looks something like this...
I am absolutely in love with the "Jester" sofa, and the paper lanterns.
Even the fruit matches!
Wonderful chair covers.
And chest and bed covers! It must be magical to wake up in a fuchsia bed.
I don''t think we've had enough fuchsia and pink yet, so here is more.
Striking!
Love this blue combined with brown.
A total fairy tale.
Outdoors too? Why not!
And on a completely unrelated note... (well, it's color coordinated at least)
How about this lunch box? A+ for creativity!
Much love and color!
xoxoxo

I like the setting with the matching fruit. How inspiring is that!!!
The chair covers are bright and sassy too.

So funny Tina, I have two of these images saved on my computer from literally over a year ago. The jester sofa and the one with the pink floor. I guess they're from Marie Claire.
Great minds think alike.

Amazing spaces! I used to be a real earth-tone girl too, but my taste has definitely evolved. Now I'm craving white walls and lots of color, like the room in the top picture. I love the room with the white walls, stone floor, and everything-else-blue. Such a fun post, makes me feel so happy!
P.S. Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to link back to your beautiful Mad Men post.

Also earth-tone girl with occasional color splashes. But the vibrant mix of colors of the interior and exterior settings was...interesting to say the least. It appears to be unrealistic, something that only those experienced in interior design or color design in general could match. I'm amazed at how well everything goes together and it doesn't look awkward or seem mismatched. Do you know who designed them?

Wow these pictures make me motivated to change my surroundings that is for sure.

Love the chair covers! I think I might need to try that idea . . .

The color of your furniture sofa also plays a significant role. The lighter-colored ones can help refract light. Thus, your room becomes even bigger in your and your guests’ eyes. The problem with them, though, is they do not hide dirt and stains.
