Some fresh textiles with slightly different patterns & colours, makes a big difference to a room. This has a simple base in white which allows to make changes, by simple means. It’s styled but still, it’s appealing, neat & cozy. The yellow color heats up the surface & energises the room, small as it is.

I had a period when I used the dark blue colour almost as much as I use black today, that is to say, always. I felt a hint of that old feeling the other day when I bought two pairs of boots in suede, one black & the other in dark blue. On the way to work last week, I arrived a bit earlier & decided to take a stroll around the shopping centre. I saw a jacket in dark, dark blue. An instant love & from there to todays post, the way is rather short. Since then I have had time to be off couple of weeks to spend time with my sister & her husband, who is on a visit. There has been a lot of traveling to various favorite spots & with it, a lot of stops for shopping. One would think that the dark blue colour would be rather common. But no, not where I was, at least.
Anyway, I found a scarf in thin material but still with rough texture. Very soft in really dark blue shade & a couple of fine-knitted jumpers with stylish fit. One was striped of course. AND with that, I have now completed my shopping need in that blue colour.

I find that every time I try to put together images with lots of color – I fail to do so. I can’t manage to choose something that is overly colourful. I discover after a while, when I’m looking at the whole thing, that I have unconsciously opted out of that which is too colourful. Now when we just finished renovating the shed, I had thought that I should paint the walls of other than the usual white. Possibly paint the concrete floor instead of the use of the ordinary wood floor & so on. And what happened – in some strange way, we now have white walls, a light wooden floor, white furniture, etc. It’s funny how all this can happen even though my thoughts went in another direction. Is it the power of habit, perhaps.
The images below are in colour but it’s not overly colourful, as you can see. Although it’s enough colour, at least for my part. You could say it became something in between. With a white base or a simple base, you can add color without risking that it becomes too much. Or you can use as much color as you want if that’s what you prefer. This is more then enough as inspiration, for me.

What if walls could speak – tell you their story. About colours they have been painted in, patched, scraped, plastered & painted over & over again. Or tell you about those who lived here before to give insight into what life was like, during an epoch. It would be exciting & interesting. But see, that’s not what this post is about today, unfortunately.
I like colour, it’s a big part of my life…professionally, that is. But I’m not the first to raise my hand regarding colorful walls. But still. I have the ability to enjoy a variety of things or events, no matter what I prefer. It’s all about being able to see beauty in most things, right?
If you were to ask me which of these rooms I would consider myself to live in, without changing the wall color – then, the closest in style, would be room number six with light blue wall. Maybe, possibly, even number three. (but I would most certainly go for the black & white one) How about you, which one do you prefer?

We are just in the phase to renovate our shed in the garden. It’s around 15-17 square meter & has been used for various storage needs. It’s a perfect little house to furnish as a guest house. And so it will be used too – with relatives that will arrive within four weeks & stay for four weeks. It’s just outside the veranda, in the corner of the garden with all the lovely trees & bushes around. It’s been made in country style which fits well with the rest of the house. We will retain the outside in same style so most of the work will be to get the interior nice, comfortable & functional. All walls white, I guess we will choose white floor also. White tiles for the shower area & for the sink too.
It will not be much color except textiles, rugs & accessories. The usual, so to speak. Colour is always nice in many ways but ” colourless” works well too. To visualize that, I chose to do a post with images in grey – shades of light grey.
