Confession: I have hundreds of paint samples that I've collected from hardware stores over the years. But I'm simply being prudent; I'll have the perfect colors chosen when I finally own a home. And it seems I'm not the only one flirting with pigment. West Elm used silk pillows as their canvas for vibrant watercolor prints.

This reminds me of something.
ReplyDeleteI babysit two adorable little girls every now and then. We play make-up. The 3 year old thinks my Ulta make-up pallette is paint. :)
ooo how lovely!
ReplyDeleteThe second pillow is gorgeous -- perfect to brighten up a room. What are the odds that I could DIY something like that? (probably small, but I'd try anyway) :)
ReplyDeleteSweet! I see these colors and I think of sweet moments!
ReplyDeleteLovely!

Ohh I want the pillow! I'm always thinking about what colors I want to paint the walls in my first place, especially since mine are currently white right now!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty!
ReplyDeletelove the color choices. Love watercolor too.
ReplyDeleteI also collect pictures and color swatches for my "perfect home" but i have realized it never becomes "perfect" b/c as i continue to grow and change, so do my tastes/preferences... I now own a home and my home has become an ever-evolving place... a reflection of me. :-)
