Bright Pastels

Happy Colors

via

I'll admit it...I LOVE pastels! Especially bright ones

I'd be so happy living in these spaces with these lively bright colors.

The bright green against the aqua walls is amazing!

And I don't usually like green very much. (except outside - love it outside)

I don't like different colored walls as a rule either but here...it's wonderful.

Oh...I'd love this room for an artist studio slash green house!

Which by the way...I've been doing some canvas painting.

I'll share soon.

This room is an example that you can still have bright pastels without saturating the room.

I'd be more likely to do this sort of room.

But after the others it seems kind of boring.

And the bits of bright pastels in this room really make it.

It would be dull without them.

Do you like bright pastels in a room?

Of course I love them at Easter time. Really I love them any time. 

I did have a bright yellow rug with big pink flowers in my living room.

Because I was going to embrace bright pastels..but I grew to hate it.

I think I just put the bright in the wrong place.

I searched for photos of the rug but by the time I started this blog...I was already so sick of it,

I barely showed it.

Here is another little bit of it.

Then I just realized with my covering of my new ottoman in this fabric...

I'm totally headed back that way again.

I do love them!

Although I think this has enough brown and beige in it to ground it in the room.

I guess you love what you love and it always works it's way back into your decor.

The Loud Rug

Here is a better shot of the rug in my living room...

Now you can see how it is not....a Rug Company rug. 

It made me happy when I first put it down. 

But now I am thinking of switching back to the beige one.

See previous post.

The Rug Company

My Favorite Images

These are my favorite rooms and rugs as seen on The Rug Company's website (The Rug Company).
I would gladly live in any of these rooms.
They DO have the most delectable rugs.  

There is a theme here...pastels. I can't help myself....pastels make me happy.

The Rug Company influenced my rug choice in the living room. When I first moved in to this house and built my reproduction tile fireplace, I put in a beige rug from Target. But after seeing all this scrumptious floor icing at The Rug Company...I obsessed about having a colorful rug. I actually found a very close inexpensive copy to the first photo which was my favorite. But even it was too expensive for my budget.

My Mom had bought me the Target rug. Later, inspired by The Rug Company, I found a bright yellow with flowers rug on Ebay that I have in the living room now. Total cost was $70 including shipping. A real bargain or maybe not. Because now, I'm growing tired of it and since I still can't afford the rug I want...

I'm thinking of switching back to the beige one. It looks really good with the fireplace but a little flat with all else.

Should I switch the rug back? It involves me scooting and shifting furniture by myself so I have to really be sure I want to do it before I do it.

My Rug Dilemma

beige rug

colorful rug

I know this doesn't show much of it...I think because I don't like it. Every picture I had didn't show much of it. I'll try to take another tomorrow. Probably right before I jerk it out of there and switch to the other. I really think I'm over it. It looks like a tween's bedroom rug. Which is exactly what it is.
