Paint chip observation



I've been starting to think about decorating for Baby C and of course, the right color is a must for his room. I've been seeing a trend of color chip samples as decor. Check it out. Maybe instead of painting, I'll just get a punch of paint chip samples and create something. It's kind of a sustainable, creative way to use something, right?

Concept can

Convex logo substitutes colorfully spayed can. It reduces energy and effort to separate toxic color from aluminum. Pretty cool, if your brand as recognizable as Coke, why not? Love the simplicity of it. What do you think??? Found on Designspotter.

Crayola's Law

What did we all do before the internet came along to give us information like this? If you've ever wondered where you can find, say, a statistical analysis of how the number of Crayola colors has increased from 1935 to the present, wonder no longer.

I love the visual communication of this data...wish all information was this visual. It would make my life a little easier.

Raw color






Nature is so amazing, just look at the beautiful colors that can be created naturally. Who needs florescents?

Color and patterns for baby boy


So I've been a complete flake when it comes to blogging lately, but I've had good reason. I've been a little preoccupied. I'm expecting and super excited since we found out we're having a little boy. Since I'm now starting to think about the baby's room, I've come to realize that baby boy room decorations are really limited! There's tons of cute girl stuff, but for boys it's a different story; it's either pastels, dated patterns or bad cartoons. I don't want to bring my little guy into a world of pastels, I want him to be greeted in a cheerful colorful room. Is that too much to ask?

So the other day, my dearest friend and new mamma, Bari, took me to the fabric store to pick fabrics out for Baby C's room. We'll (I mean Bari) will be making crib sheets, a bed skirt, curtains and maybe some other notions. But this is what I picked out. These fabrics colors and patterns make me giddy! I am in love with it and am pretty sure Baby C will love it too!

Can't wait to show you the finished room....might take a while as I don't have to be done until late May.

PINK BOLDNESS

My good friend sent this image to me...I love how this person decided to step out and be different, especially among all the neutral colors. AMAZING and BOLD! I am a major purple lover, but pink will never die!
