Today I’m inspired by…

Van Gogh’s sunflowers…

Broad brushstrokes, bright yellow and wild form. There’s a reason why these are famous sunflowers.

I see Van Gogh’s sunflowers…

Collections of sea glass, illustrated by Louise van Terheijden from Amsterdam. Her colors and transparency of the watercolors are so ethereal. I just love how it looks ordered, like a collection from a book, but the lines are so organically flowing.

Color your stay

19May

Have you heard of the Pantone Hotel in Brussels?

Great and fun concept — execution? Little to be desired. I feel like so much more can be done with this concept but they were too timid or something. So, would I ever stay there? Probably not. How about you?

Color

17May

I’ve been trying to branch out into some more color lately. I feel like when the weather gets warm, I have to put away my grays and blacks and browns and bring out some COLOR!

Here are a few inspirations to that:

Colored yarn for wrapping gifts — I really like it against the kraft brown too. {via here}

Create your own rainbow with this dip-dyed garland! {found via here}

A rainbow bridal party is genius. How beautiful is that? {found via here} If I had bridesmaids, I’d be tempted to do that…

Although this would be painstakingly slow, these rainbow colored paper cranes have a cool effect. {found here}

One more…

18Apr

Ok, one more watercolor item I’d like in my closet. Then that’s it. I promise. :)

This dip-dyed tote from Freshly Picked. Comes in three colors too! And, at $15, it’s something I can afford.

Vegetable pop

07Mar

Pragya of Artocrat on Etsy has such fun, colorful prints of food. Wouldn’t it look great in a kitchen to make it bright and cheery? I love bright and cheery kitchens.

Plus, she makes vegetables look good.
