RELAXED COLOR

SURROUNDING YOURSELF WITH COLOR IS THE MOST PEACEFUL & LESS STRESSFUL THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOURSELF, AFTER ALL IF YOU DON’T RELAX & FEEL COMFORTABLE IN YOUR OWN HOME, THEN WHAT’S THE USE OF BEING THERE?




PILE THE PILLOWS ON, EVEN IF THEY’RE WHITE ADD A FEW WITH COLOR TO SPARK CREATIVITY IN YOU WHEN YOU WALK IN

EASE YOURSELF INTO COLOR WITH ONE EYE POPPING OF COLOR FOCAL POINT


PAINT SOMETHING, RECOVER SOMETHING……
IF YOU LOVE CHIC THINGS BUT WANT CASUAL/COMFY, USE PAINTED PIECES THROUGHOUT YOUR HOME





DISPLAY COLORED DISHES, GLASSES IN AN OPEN CUPBOARD. IF THEY’RE SENTIMENTAL FAMILY ITEMS ALL THE BETTER TO PUT YOU IN A GOOD MOOD
DON’T GIVE SECOND THOUGHTS TO PURCHASES. IF I WANT IT, I BUY IT, I KNOW I WILL FIND A SPOT FOR IT EVENTUALLY & MAKE IT WORK SOMEWHERE. I CALL IT”LIVING VICARIOUSLY THROUGH JUNQUE” NOTE: A WRITER ONCE TOLD ME HE LOVED THE WAY I SPELLED JUNQUE”……IT MADE IT SOUND LIKE MUNDANE OBJECTS WERE GIVEN A STATE OF ELEGANCE.
FOR THE BEST USE OF COLOR ON YOUR PORCH, USE VINTAGE WATERING CANS AWASH IN PASTELS (PAINT A FEW) IF YOU CAN’T FIND THEM ALLREADY PAINTED. VINTAGE GARDEN TOOLS OR ADVERTISING TINS CAN ADD A PUNCH OF COLOR. USE THE TINS AS FLOWER POTS.
