My new Motto & HeLP!

2.22.12- 
I came across my new motto today! It hit me right between the eyes as I walked into Target this afternoon.  
{Don't you just love Target? It always makes me happy}  


Color is everything- it's what is really inspiring me lately, makes me giddy, stirs my creativity & makes me what to buy things.  {I'm sure that's their whole intent ;)} I've been thinking a lot about color lately as I prepare to make things & set up another Hive in a couple of weeks. 
{By the way are you coming? I hope so!} 

I've been inspired by alot of things lately & here are a couple of my favorites. 



-Colorful scrapbook papers always inspire & delight me! This is a picture from a H&H project I did awhile back - 


-Streamers & balloons- LoVE it, so stinky cute!-





I must be craving for SPRiNG to arrive & bright colors to begin to pop up. I'm sure it will happen before too much longer.. at least The Hive will be bright & cheerful. {So excited!} 

& now for your HeLP!  
My hubby & I moved some furniture around this weekend & decided that we want to paint our front entry wall a new color & a different color than the rest of the house.  But we don't know what color or shade to go with. 
So...... 
?Honeybee wants to know- 
What is your favorite paint color? 
-Bad pic I know, but it was easier to just grab my phone than get out the camera. But you get the idea, I hope-
I'm open to suggestions.  I kind of want to do something unexpected & a bit bold but don't know if I dare. {do I?} 
The color of the rest of our home is Graceful Gold
{a yellowish, tan color}  
I would love to hear your suggestions.  

Thanks & hope you have a colorful day!
{Did you know the official color of 2012 is Tangerine Tango?}

  1. A fun turquoise, navy, orange, salmon pink? I would say something cheerful and unexpected would look awesome.

  2. I love turquoise right now and I don't even have it in my house. I am trying to talk Kelsey's husband into painting my piano turquoise but no luck so far.

  3. I was just getting to the set up as it was. :)

    Maybe instead of a new color only you should do strips or a stencil somthing. What about the green like the laundry room cabinets? They are green right? A black to tie into the kitchen/stove?
