Color My World: Week 4

This week we were to use our color with fabric. Here's a look at my pillows in Schumacher's Chiang Mai Dragon fabric in the aquamarine colorway. They are fun and colorful but have that navy that I wanted to bring into yet another room in my home.




Can't wait to see the fabrics that everyone else chose…

Color My World: Week 3

This week, I took on the challenge to paint something navy and found Benjamin Moore's Hale Navy to be the perfect shade.

Remember when I asked y'all which stencil to get from Royal Design Studio?


Well, I chose the Moroccan Scallops, of course. I painted a square canvas in our breakfast area. Now, I am in love with the stencil, but my project isn't perfect so don't look too closely. I would recommend not using the stencil on canvas. Because of the natural texture and flex of a canvas, I was left with some bleeding paint.

I can't wait to use the stencil again though. I think I'll use the stencil on a wall -- maybe a stripe about 4 feet wide of scallops from ceiling to floor. A gray/white combo would be subtle and would probably look great. Maybe behind Avery's crib and flipped upside down? The lines would be much more crisp on a wall, no doubt.

In the meantime… enjoying the navy addition to our breakfast nook. This is fast becoming one of my favorite spaces in our home! What do you think?


Who knows… there may just be a stencil giveaway in the near future. Hint, hint! ;)
And once again, be sure to check out the others taking on the challenge with me!

Color My World: Week 2

For this week of the Color My World challenge, I used navy in home decor. I chose a rug that is now in my bedroom.


Here is a good look at the rug that had been stored away in my parents' attic for years… it is beautiful!


Could it be any more perfect in the space? I am really pleased. The navy is an unexpected color addition to the room, which has me loving it all the more.

Here's another glance at my bedside vignette:


I've added a little DIY art and spiffed up an Ikea frame. Thanks for the inspiration, Courtney!

Color My World: Week 1

I was so excited when I was asked a couple of weeks ago to be a part of the "Color My World" challenge. To say that I am looking forward to the next 5 weeks is an understatement.

This week, I was to pick a color and gather inspiration. I had so much trouble nailing down a color. A close 2nd place contender was pink, a pale corally pink. Yum!  But this is a challenge, and I wanted to do something different and bold. So, my color of choice?


My inspiration:
