Living with Color

Color has the capability of cheering up a person. Why settle for elephant gray if hippopotamus pink is available? hee hee

  

Think of how color affects you. Nature is rampant with color. What do you feel when you hold a turquoise robin's egg in your hand?  Besides being smooth to the touch, the color makes a person feel like she is holding a  little piece of sky.

Think of the shiny redness of an apple as you crunch into its juicy middle.

Recall sniffing a yellow daffodil or lavender iris in the spring. How about the scent of red roses?  Would they be as sweet if they came only in black or mustard brown?

While visiting a bakery in a small town this fall, we stopped at an "earthy, crunchy" bakery.  Out in front, plants in bright, colorful containers welcomed visitors.  Their colors could be spotted from our car before we ever ventured out onto the sidewalk. What a warm and heartfelt welcome the plants in the rainbow colored containers gave us. It can work the same way in our homes.

 

Driving to some outlet stores, a colorful display of fall pumpkins greeted us at the top of the long, steep driveway. It felt like another warn welcome!

If there is a choice between using colors as opposed to drWhile ab shades, I'll always choose color to add a little sizzle to life.

WHAT ABOUT YOU? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE COLOR TO USE IN YOUR HOME?
