If you love color as much as me, you must check out the book
Colors For Your Home - 300 Designer Favorites from the editors of House Beautiful Magazine. I've seriously been so inspired since receiving it in the mail. More importantly though, I've never felt so confident in choosing the perfect shade of paint!
The handy-sized book is filled with great info and amazing pictures (and lots of color...real paint swatches!) You can easily find your perfect color by room, shade, designer, mood and more. I had no idea that a turquoisey
Aruba Blue 2048-30 from Benjamin Moore is approved as a "Color Men Love"! It's no surprise though,
Seafoam Green 2039-60 will give your room a sunny feeling. And get this, one of my favorite shades,
Cool Aqua 2056-40 can be used as a quick color fix.
So if you're looking to paint a room, or just like looking at pictures of pretty rooms (lots, lots more than just these pretty blue ones above...), you won't be disappointed in
Colors For Your Home. There are over 300 tried and true colors in this book that were all beautifully used in real homes by real interior designers. So much inspiration in a book that fits in your purse and costs less than a gallon of paint!
If you're interested, here are the links to it on
Amazon
and
Barnes and Nobles.
Have a great weekend everyone! :)

I am loving all the bright colors in this LA condo designed by Joe Nye and featured in House Beautiful. It is so feminine and fun!!
*sigh* It really doesn't get much prettier than this. This bedroom and bath designed by James Michael Howard is altogether lovely. I love all the white that is just brought to life with the turquoise. And how about that adjoining bath?! WOW! Thanks Allie!! :)
I found this fabulous image taken by photographer Karl Juengel on Erika's Urban Grace Interiors blog. Isn't it 100% droolworthy?! What a party!
Here are even more images from the talented designer Jennifer Flanders. These bedrooms are all so beautiful and and serene. I am loving that headboard in the 2nd image!
Next to red and turquoise, black & white with turquoise is my favorite color combo. This image from Homes & Gardens makes me happy just looking at it...imagine living there! The bold shade of turquoise is quite intense, but is balanced out quite nicely with the simple furniture and accessories. Those great black and white botanical print fabrics really soften the look too. Thanks justiceaim! :)
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this room designed by interior designer Jennifer Flanders. The turquoise looks incredible with such a lovely shade of red. Love the curtains, the the wallpaper, that headboard, that desk, the lamp...everything!!
