Posh Palettes Inspiration Board: Spring

Mar 27 2012 ·0

“Oh Spring! I want to go out and feel you and get inspiration.”
~Emily Carr

Last week in  the Boston area we enjoyed record breaking warmth.  Temperatures topped 70 degrees and sunny cerulean blue skies were the norm for 5 days in a row.  I felt like I was on vacation! Now the forsythia are blooming next to the daffodils and  crocuses, and it is just splendid.

All of this warmth coupled with the afterglow of Alexa Hampton’s lecture and her amazing project boards inspired me to create a vibrant Spring Inspiration Board for some of my personal projects…

I was inspired by my current  favorite color ORANGE~ which as you may recall just so happens to be the Pantone color of the year. Similar to my Presentation Panels for clients,  I love to use texture, color, appeal to all of the  senses. On this board, the scent of suntan lotion transports me right to the beach,  a beach photo recalls memories  of younger days, and a bright lipstick brings to mind salty, smudged kisses…

I love woven wood blinds any time of the year but particularly in the Spring and Summertime.  Consider installing these versatile window coverings on a porch to shield you just enough from the direct sunshine and then easily roll them up when you want to admire the full view~

Ahhhh,  the romance of a toile.   Always a classic but so much more cheeky in orange and magenta, don’t you think?

The changing of the seasons invites you to take out all your colorful clothing and accessories.  It seems that  subliminally I tend to purchase clothes to match my interiors… I wouldn’t want to clash would I??

Just between us,  it’s not really subliminal ;-).

The next time you want to approach a design project, why not put together an inspirational board for yourself? It’s so much fun and you just might surprise yourself with some unique textures and color combinations that you adore…
