Color Made Easy

I think I am reverting to my old magazine-holic ways, yesterday I spontaneously purchased the Meredith publication "Color Made Easy"  Fall/Winter 2011 Issue. 

 If you haven't gotten this issue, hurry and get it!  For those of you who have taken my Color Theory Class or any of my workshops where I have talked about mixing pattern textures and scale (all of them!), contrasting and pairing colors, this publication is a beautiful version of what I preach!!  This is the perfect time of year to begin our nesting impulses and get your winter reading materials piled to the ready at the chair side.  This inspiration book is on the top of mine.  When the holiday grinds to a halt in January and the New England country side turns grey and neutral, my colorful inspiration time blooms!  I think of rooms I want to change, spruce up, and color color color!!  My favorite paint company of the moment is Yolo ColorHouse and believe it or not you can get Yolo Colorhouse at Home Depot! (find them on Facebook and follow their colorful path)
Here are some of the colors I am thinking for some of my rooms. 
Upstairs Bath: Create 03
Dining Room: Dream 06 
Kitchen and Porch:  Thrive 03

What are some of your favorite colors of the moment?

New England Felting Supply COLORS MY WORLD!

Check this out!  This past Saturday I taught in Easthampton, MA at the New England Felting Supply.  It was a great environment to teach my Color Theory class in.  We talked about color all day, we played with color chips all day and we sat amongst colored fiber ALL DAY!  This is  how dedicated we all are to our passion of color and fiber...I left my house at 6AM in the snow...down 91 through Vermont in the snow...when I hit the Massachusetts border it stopped snowing...I got there in plenty of time and all 12 students also got there safely, from all points around as well!  Kudos to us all!

 

  

Wow does this look messy!!! and the funny thing is no matter how may thousands of paint chips I bring (this table and another) we seem to not have "just the exact color" you are looking for!
