So, I have had an on-going love affair with colour since I was a child.
Warm colours, cool colours... I just can't get enough of their pretty palettes.
------------------------------
This served me well since I worked in an arts supply store as a teen.
Then painted murals, and faux effects in homes as a twenty-something.
Also worked for Benjamin Moore paint store.
And then ran an art drop-in for youth.
Now, I have my own wee artist in residence!
Colours.
They've been in my blood all my life.
--------------------------------
The problem is when it comes down to home decor, graphic design... or even my wardrobe.
I just can't ever decide what 'mood' I'm most connected to:
I want to re-do our bedroom (though I know the likelihood of that actually happening is close to nil)! So I've been wrestling afresh with this issue lately.
I love those muted 'seaside' tones: bleached driftwood. sea glass green. pale turquoise. sand.
I love those vibrant 'Moroccan' tones: indigo.burnt oranges.eggplant.chartreuse.
I love earth tones. etc... and I'm even tempted by the idea of white.washing everything!
What's a girl to do?

Ok. I must confess that ever since I was a young (tom.boy) girl... my favourite colour has always been blue though...
Now it's an antique turquoise that I adore.
I am eager to get a can of this colour in spray paint and re-do various items around the house soon! (You'll be seeing another painting project I did with these tones. Love it)!

Anyway, that's my colour obsession and if you share it, you may want to go here.
What colour do hue love?
Mel ;o)
