Hello Blue Moon

I have joined up with Supal again this month for another round of Art to Inspiration!  :-)  Art to Inspiration is a movement that Supal has created where each month she chooses an artist's work, sends out a newsletter with the piece's information, and we are to let it inspire us and write a post about it!  We can do whatever we want -- form a recipe, find pretty pictures, take our own pictures...really, the sky's the limit.  :-)  It's really fun, and I love opening that e-mail once a month and getting to see a new piece of art that is just so beautiful.

September Art to Inspiration

Title: Hello Blue Moon

Artist: Lani Trock

When I first saw this piece, I was instantly drawn to the moody black and blue color palette.  I remember the days when I thought that black and blue could not appear together -- in fact, it was one of those things where it looked like one had put them together on accident, even in a purposeful case -- but now, I find it completely lovely.  :-)  I decided to find some interiors that use this color palette to make a room sing!

Pretty, yes?  :-)  If you would like to join in on the Art to Inspiration fun, head over here to sign up!  And be sure to check out Supal's Facebook Fan Page later this week to see what all of the other bloggers came up with!

What do you think of this color palette?  Are you a fan?  Not-so-much?

Sky-Colored Ceiling Love

Hey, there!  ;-)

I hope you all had a great weekend.  I spent mine crafting, doing laundry, and spending time with family. It was definitely the most relaxed weekend I have had in a long time.  :-)  It is supposed to be *sunny* and in the low eighties today, so I thought that I would celebrate the blue sky and show off some amazing rooms with sky-colored ceilings.  Enjoy!
