Tuesday Huesday: Color Blocking A Room

Color blocking is a design concept, and fashion trend that is very hot right now. Mainly when people think of color blocking they typically think in terms of fashion and accessories. I’m sure you have seen several color blocking editorials in the latest fashion magazines, and on mannequins in the mall, but did you know you could color-block a room in your home? This is non-traditional concept, and a daring one as well. If done correctly you can have a look like the living room pictured above. This image is from Martha Stewart, and I love the way this room was decorated. The pops of green hues against the deep neutral tones compliment each other very well. So if you are in the mood to re-decorate any room in your home, be bold and opt to color-block it.

This palette was created using FolkArt acrylic paint colors: # 954 Fresh Foliage, # 407 Kelly Green, # 467 Italian Sage, # 679 Turner’s Yellow,

Painted Wood Wall Art

I absolutely love what you can do with wood and a little paint.  Sometimes the simplest projects are the most impressive!  That is certainly the case with this wood wall art spotted at The Polka-Dot Umbrella.  If you have scrap wood then this piece becomes budget crafting at its finest – but what I really love about this wood wall art is the size.  It’s large, and it makes such a statement.  Read all about the construction process and the painting here.
