Inspired by color

If you've seen any of my scrap pages you know I like color.
I'm slowly trying to incorporate more color into our white-walled home, but that takes time. Not to mention a little convincing...
We did get that blue chair a while back and now it looks like we won't get it re-upholstered after all, but instead get a pillow in that same blue for the couch. I enjoy the vibrancy.

Which brings me to my favorite color inspirations.

I saw this ad in the monthly magazine that comes with our newspaper.
I was wowed.

I love the reds, oranges, indigo and the green. Mmmm..and the plum.
And I simply love the floral border.
I ordered the catalog yesterday just so I could flip through it.
