An Awesome Pinterest Find on Paint Colors

I have been so busy this holiday season and the weather has been so bizarre, I've had trouble completing some of my furniture and getting it photographed to share. So in the interim I discovered some awesome info.

I found this most amazing blog post that I felt I MUST share. I found it on Pinterest, of course and thought many of you would find it incredibly helpful. It is a compilation of Benjamin Moore's most popular colors. The unique part is they are all shown in fully decorated rooms! How awesome is that? So if you are looking to change colors this is a great resource. If you have a color on the wall, but are looking for some ways to update the room, this is also helpful.  So go check out Stacy's awesome post!! South Shore Decorating Blog: 101 MORE Favorite Benjamin Moore Paint Colors:

Blooming Wisteria

So I know I always write about painting stuff, but I just had to share these glorious photos of the wisteria blooming in our back yard this week. We planted this beautiful weed 11 years ago. We had alway intended to create a large arbor for it to grow on, but everything we read said wisteria can crush structures. So we just keep it pruned like a small tree. It was a transplant from one that my mother had in her yard. We just love it! Even though it has to be pruned heavily several times a year and it grabs the small children as they walk by, we just love the scent of the spring blooms. The purple color is amazing!

I took this photo a few days later. The purple of the wisteria behind the glowing red of a recently planted Japanese Maple. Great inspiration for color on an accent piece of furniture or wine glasses! I would love to see photos of YOUR gardens in bloom! Feel free to send in your best!
