Color and Paint


Artful Havana

I was taken aback by the most stunning images taken by Michael Eastman of Havana, Cuba 2010. He has captured such beauty in this intimate portrait of a city.

I was really keen on the color scheme of this exhibition, wonder why? lol, I am having a greeny, blue turquoise week!

Turquoise House Inspired

Today I felt inspired by the color turquoise. I just love this color so much, it makes me feel like anything is possible, it is refreshing and enchanting!

I want to paint the façade of my home a lovely turquoise one day and these are the images that inspire me!

White Rustic Kitchen

This is a great example of a rustic kitchen in an off white color. This kitchen feels almost clinical with its dominating white theme, yet the chipped white paint, exposed rafters, unpolished wood, white washed wooden floorboards and exposed pipes gives such a nice rustic charm.

Blue in The Traditional Kitchen

Beautiful traditional kitchen designs with wooden finishes combined with a blue color scheme. In some cases just a touch of blue is used and in others the blue dominates.

A charming and warm atmosphere is created with classic furniture mixed in with woven baskets, unusual clocks, artwork and other authentic and personality giving items and nik naks.
