Color Palette Love | Whimsical Purple + Gray

Happy New Year!  I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays.

It's been a long time since I posted a new color palette post.  Lately, I have been looking for ideas for redecorating my daughter Annabelle's room.  Not too long ago, I repainted her room from a pale green to a light gray.  Her favorite color is purple which isn't my first choice but when I came across this photo from Ana Antunes Home Styling on Pinterest, I immediately feel in love with the combination of soft shades of purple and gray used in the room.  I love the additional color of blue which adds a fun pop of color.  I can't wait to get started on Annabelle's room redo.

Color Palette Love: Raspberry + Lemonade

It's been a long time since I posted a new color palette post.  Just this morning, I was looking for color combo ideas for the newest collection I am designing for my girls upcoming birthday party.  I plan to add more color palette posts in the future as I come across them and I hope that they will continue to inspire you.  This particular image comes from Heather Bailey.  I have loved her beautiful and colorful fabrics for a long time.  Her lively fabrics are one of the reasons why I wanted to learn how to sew so that I could make skirts and dresses for my little girls.  If you are not familiar with with her line of products, I encourage you to take a peek at her site.  You will find a range of designs from textiles and sewing patterns to paper crafts, kitchen linens and home decor.

Color Palette Love - Pretty in Pink

The moment that I came across this beautiful kitchen, I knew that I had to pin it on my "Kitchens I Love" board on Pinterest.  If I could ever have a vacation home, it would be a small cottage on the beach and this vintage style kitchen designed by Tracey Rapisardi would be perfect.  I love the fresh pastel colors which give the space such a charming feel.  The soft pinks, blues and yellow would be so pretty for a baby shower don't think?

Color Palette Love - Classic Brown + Red

Being the mom of two girls, I am surrounded by all things pink and frilly.  My days are filled with My Little Ponies, Barbies and unicorns to name just a few.  When it comes to looking for the perfect color palette for a boy, I often find myself looking on Pinterest for inspiration.  I recently came across this modern and classic designed room that is perfect for boys of all ages.  Bands of rich chocolate brown that are accented with contrasting pops of red and a soft chambray blue.  This color combination is sporty and bold and one that is fitting for a baby shower or birthday party.

Color Palette Love - Chic Pastels + Gold

The moment I saw this necklace I thought it was eye-catching.  I love the beautiful combination of pastel colors along with the gold.  A color palette that could easily be worn with a casual outfit or dressed up for a night out.  I think that the same holds true when using these colors for a party.  Pretty colors for a bridal shower or a chic evening get together.

Color Palette Love - Sophisticated Pink + Blue

The moment I came across this photo, I knew that I would need to save it for when the time came that my youngest daughter would transition from her nursery to a big girl's room.  The design would be perfect for young girls but one that adults would like too.  I love the great fabrics and color combination used to create different tones and textures using similar colors.  When I think of incorporating this color palette for a party, I think it would be perfect for a gender reveal baby shower.  Don't you think?

Color Palette Love - Coral + Pink

Today I am sharing with your my second weekly color palette.  Who doesn't love a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers especially one that pops with amazing colors?  I recently started a "Beautiful Flowers" board on Pinterest and the bouquet in this week's palette was designed by Ella Bella Floral.  I love the different shades of pink and corals with the touch of blue.  Isn't it simply gorgeous?

Color Palette Love - Rustic Neutrals + Pink

I love color! One of my favorite parts when designing a new party collection is dreaming up a new color palette to use.  I find so many beautiful photos for inspiration and love pinning them on my Pinterest boards and love sharing this inspiration with you.  Having said that, I am going to be sharing weekly color palettes to inspire your party planning, events and projects.  Today's photo is from the December/January 2010 issue of House Beautiful magazine.  I love the neutral tones and pops of pink and am using the designer Jill Brinson's family room as inspiration as I redecorate my office.  The rustic feel and Moroccan touches are simply beautiful!

{Party in the Works} Let's Set Sail Party!

It's that time of year again.  As summer draws closer, Annabelle and Madeleine's birthdays draw closer and that means coming up with a new theme for their party.  The girls had all sorts of ideas that changed on a daily basis.  From a rainbow party, to a unicorn party, to an Ariel party and so on.  I was having a hard time keeping up and wasn't sure if we were ever going to find a theme that they both could agree on.  We mentioned to the girls that we booked a trip to the beach to the Caribbean for our summer trip, and since then they  are all about having a summer beach themed birthday party.  And so the design for their invitation began.

My mother-in-law had given the girls a skirt and dress from The Children's Place for Easter that had such a fun color palette that consisted of a bubblegum pink, fuchsia, sunny yellow and navy.   From the moment that I saw the skirt and dress, I thought that at some point I would love to include these colors for an upcoming party.  I decided to use this color palette for the printables for their party.

Here is a peek of the invitation I created. 

 Looking forward to sharing ideas and inspiration I find when planning Annabelle and Madeleine's party over the next couple of weeks with you!
