shades of gray

recently, i overheard my manager saying that we'd be allowed to paint our apartment.

since then, i've been dreaming in paint colors. it's pretty dangerous when i get an idea for a new project in my little noggin... travis can attest to this. i've been trying to think of a pretty neutral color for most of the walls, other than beige {because beige = poo}. while looking through some inspiration, i've fallen in love with gray.

beautiful, right? the last photo is my absolute favorite. it's so crisp, light, and airy! it looks like a home where i can just melt. i live for melty houses. travis may or may not be seeing more gray in the future!

life of color 7/30

sometimes when i walk out the door, i feel like my outfit sings louder than i ever possibly could. today was one of those days. i am in love with color, i've always been drawn to more colorful walks of life and i believe color describes things that words aren't able to! color effects people in amazing ways, i even remember hearing that a certain football team painted the inside of their guest locker room light pink, because light pink is calming and soothing--exactly what you want your opposing team to feel like at the start of a game! oh i just love the amount of smiles that can come from a color.i certainly want color to be a part of my life for keeps.
peace & lovelaurendo you love color? lots and lots of color?
