{yellows, blues & grays}

I like the above from Chicago Home Mag which highlighted designers, Summer Thornton & Julia Edelmann. Very nice colors indeed.

At this very second in my life I would compare the color yellow to my very happy boys who happen to be bouncing off the walls in their bedroom as I type. I'm considering breaking them up into 3 seperate bedrooms. I'm such a party pooper.

I love red, white & blue with hints of stripes.

Love, love 4th of July. It is a pretty close tie for 1st place in the holiday book. I don't know if it is that I love family gatherings with picnics, parades, barbeque, fireworks, stripes, patriotism or just red white & blue. Whatever it is I love it when people can feel united. I also associate people of the last generation really having a love & respect for their country. Another reason I love that era. I have been working on a red, white & blue banner and the images below were just the ticket to get some creative juices flowing.....

Stripes, stars, red, white & blue so classic....hopefully just like FREEDOM!
