Loving Color
Thursday, March 10, 2011 at 3:31AM This week I have had a dreadful cold that I just can't seem to shake. This has also been one crazy busy week and the two aren't playing quite well with each other. Monday I had some time to sit and do a bit of blog reading and I came across Live Like You. She is a designer who adores color, reusing what you have, and seems to have a heart of gold. Her home is much more bold than I normally gravitate to, but I must say I am smitten. Even my kiddos sat in awe while we went page to page. They seem to love color too, my bad...
Doesn't it just scream joy? I really do adore it. Tomorrow is KJ's birthday party and I am not ready. I am signing off early and will be back next week. I so recommend reading through Live Like Love. It really does inspire. Have a great weekend!

I've seen pictures of her hallway before but never the rest- it's all just so so gorgeous! I am totally and utterly smitten with her use of colour and those blue velvet dining chairs- divine!!! Good luck with the party- I'm organizing my daughter's and know how much work it is:)
The colors are gorgeous, and I love that you and your children looked through her blog together--how adorable!
Happy early weekend, Paula!
Beautiful...I couldn't do it, but I adore people who can.
Wow I love this! What vibrant fun?! This is a space you WANT to come home to for sure!
hello! most color I've ever seen on your blog, ever:) love it. feel better soon!
I love the foyer with the pink and zebra run, way more color than I could commit to...but I do love it.
Hi Paula, Christine sent me over here! So nice to discover your blog! Thank You so much for that nice write up. I love that you looked through it with you kids!!
Hope you feel better soon! Love this home and I'm getting inspired to add more colour to my home this spring too!
Those pink chairs are to die for! And the entryway - wow.
Hi Paula,
Isn't she great! A colorful Swede (finally!)! And her rooms do scream joy!
I am looking forward to meeting with her in person one of these days - and you too!

Was already a fan of the blog - her rooms are ablaze with color and love how she walk you through her projects!!

Oh I've seen these before and have forgotten about them.. thanks for the reminder .. I'll be checking out her blog again! and I hope you feel better. It's so hard being sick when you're a mom and oh, have a big party to plan! Good luck and get some rest when the party is over!

Happy Birthday KJ
I'm really feeling color these days too. If only I could commit! Hope you're feeling better soon, Paula. xo
isn't it funny how we can love COLOR so much and also lots of WHITE/NEUTRALS so much too? how can one ever decide? I'm thinking I'll try both approaches in our new house..
i just found your blog from my friend Trina at lalalovely things. I love your blog and the posts Ive seen!
