Images from my “Dream House” Folder: Color Inspiration

May 22, 2010




Here are some images from my Dream House Folder! 
(we all have one right??)
 so sorry i don’t have any links but if you recognize where they’re from let me know! (i saved these images way back before i thought of bookmarking them for credit!)

i love this color for sophia’s “big girl room” maybe the whole room or just one wall.


love these white countertops and the brightness of the space! 
and the blue subway tiles..mmm.. ::drool:: i love them. white or blue…i really want to incorporate that look into the kitchen! (in the “maybe” house we are looking at, the bathroom has original white subway tile…yeah…awesome.)

would love to go this dark in a room as long as there is enough natural light!


I love this color for our master bedroom. so relaxing!

or this.. a little more vivid. a girl needs some tiffany blue in her life. ;)

and i would love to be brave enough to do this to a ceiling in our next house. if the ceiling is high enough i think it works! the molding breaks it up.

love these exterior paint colors.

I think i’ll do a color like this for baby#2 nursery! it’s a little desaturated in the upload image but you get the idea. isn’t it lovely??

Busy day..we are having a huge street sale in our area and we are hoping those hardcore bargain shoppers come and buy up all of our stuff! It would be so nice to not move these things that we don’t even want/need! ImaniMama came over earlier to grab a table for her garage sale set up across the street.. Ben and I are gonna set up on our front porch.. i’ll post photos of the bargain shopping craziness on sunday. say a prayer that we make some big bucks! yay for de-cluttering. it’s free-ing! (also our buyers are having their inspection today.. yay! moving forward!!)

    Such great pictures! The color in the first pic is very similar to what I have in my little girl’s nursery. I LOVE it! It’s definitely more bold than I ever thought I would do in a nursery, but it turned out great.

    I so love daydreaming about the opportunity to decorate a new house! Love all the pics! Especially the pink girls room! Gave me some inspiration for my own little girls room who we are about to start redoing. Thanks! :)

    I’ve been wanting to paint our living room light blue for some time. Love your taste in kitchens. I absolutely MUST have a white kitchen :-)
