Find Your Color Inspiration In Nature

This summer my husband and I drove across Canada. We're relocating to Nova Scotia for the next year and half while my husband goes back to university. So the furniture went with a moving company, we jumped in our car and across Canada we drove. . .

I am always amazed how I find inspiration in the most natural environments. If you're searching for color combinations, look to nature, it does it beautifully.

Here's a shot from our stay in Niagara Falls, and yes, it is as romantic as it's reputation ! This is a great example of a blue and green color scheme. Remember in the old fashioned saying, "blue and green must never be seen". This couldn't be farther from the truth . . .




This natural color palette could translate into a tranquil yet invigorating room. It's beautiful. Look to what moves you for inspiration and bring it into your home. Courageous color combinations can be a commitment, but offer big rewards.
