Colour Lovers

I tinkered and played over at Colour Lovers today.  My friend bought me some "for-your-home-office" decor as part of my Christmas gift so I need to start planning what my sanctuary will look like based on these pieces!
Here is an iPhone photo of the items I picked from our local craft store, Hobby Lobby.  She bought me the red sign and the black truck!  The aqua/blue plate was sold out but there are other items there that will look just as GREAT!  I also have photo inspiration that I need to print and hang, it will be beautimous!

Here is one of the color palettes I created at Colour Lovers.  The red seems so bold, it would be a very small part of the room... like maybe just the antiquities sign and a vase that I have, hold your hand over the red and see my favorite colors in greys and the blue/aqua.  My office would be comprised mostly of shades of grey, cream and aqua, accented with the lighter side of these hues.  I want my room to be bright, fun and inspirational with functionality being the base and BALANCE being the glue.

My office will also serve as the craft/wrapping station/art/homework/reading/do-anything room {I am pretty good at sharing}.  In it's past, this room has been my husband's office, the twins nursery, the junk room that held everything left-over and the kid's computer.  I thought about making a small studio in that room but the small space would make it hard to do anything but close-up newborn photos--which would be grand but not the best use of the space overall.  When newborns come over, my office could still be used but my kitchen has the best light and flooring for that job, also my front entryway gets good morning light.  In just a few short months, we will be outside again!! {If I really had my druthers and my budget was endless, I would build out my basement porch and turn it into a studio with an entire wall of windows with the light softened by billowy sheers hanging at angles creating a beautiful illusion of privacy.  I can picture the room and the photos I would take there.  Someday!}

I'm enjoying a cup of coffee before I kick into BALANCE mode and start a project in the house that I will time so I don't get lost in the activity AND to see my productivity output.

Enjoy your Wednesday!
