Color Me Lovely


The interior and still-life styling by Michele Michael is fabulous. These are great examples of using pops of color without overdoing it. The color palettes are bright and energetic, yet each space remains simple and uncluttered. What a wonderful way to add color - paint those white walls, buy a bright lamp, and re-do your chair in a fun pattern!

    I am realizing how badly I need to add color to my house right now. I am so boring. I love the splashes all over.

    That last one with the bags, was really cute. I use to grow wheatgrass in my 20's for health reasons. I should grow it again. I always loved the look of it too.

    Thanks Pleasie and have a wonderful day.

    Color always makes people smile and come alive. Those pops are sometimes all you need to bring a ho-hum room alive.

    I gasped when I saw that first photo. Gorgeous! I am such a color wimp. Lots of whites and browns in my apartment. Maybe when I own my own place I will let loose and paint a wall red!!
