See Only The Color Palettes

1

Try when you view this post

NOT TO SEE ANY PATTERN OR TEXTURE.

Just take in the colors in each image.

(including hair and skin)

Or the lack of color-

depending on who you are and what you like.

I am not one that loves working in pale 

or neutral palettes.

It is hard for me.

2

I started this post with all very pale colors 

yet I still had to put a few in with dark browns and black.

I have to ' come clean' with you.

I love BLACK.

*I am careful not to scare clients with this information.

3

It is not that I want huge amounts of black in an interior....

it is just that

for me,

it adds a 'sharpness', 

drama, 

or it just can add an anchor to a room for me.

4

Take in the auburn hair as well.

I did the most gorgeous living room, 

dining room, and media room 

in browns, blacks, coppers and creams.

So rich.

So sexy.

5

This is yummy

6

I could do this....

I think I will.

7

And this is a hot theme right now.

The younger clients seem to request this ice blue and cream combo

 more than the middle aged.

The way older client loves this color scheme as well.

I think it is a left over love for the blue and rose combination.

Which BTW-

makes me sick.

8

Again...

I could do this one.

9

Again rich and SEXY.

10

Remember the color 'mushroom?'

oooh....

that is giving away my age.

13

This very pale pink is lovely.

It is almost not there.

I like that.

14

15

16

17

A hint of purple or lavender, with the palest pink. 

and camel or nude.

18

Don't look at the patterns.

Roses, cream and charcoal.

19

Now...

 we are really talking taupe or mushroom!!!!

I love it.

20

Gorgeous colors.

22

The palest blue and grey with beige.

Very elegant.

23

(Try and ignore her nasty belly button.

I think she just too out her tummy rings-

Yuck.)

These colors are a nice combination.

Which were your favorite color combinations in this post?

And how do you feel about pale and neutral color combinations

 for your home?

We Love Painted Woodwork And Cabinetry. Don't We?

Oh look!!!!

I live here.

This would be the perfect entrance for me.

A double dutch door for my sweet horse to peek his head into.

I would have to have one in the kitchen as well, 

so that we could have our morning oats together.

I WISH!!!

These are the yummiest images.

I love all wood.

And there is something so' fresh'

about white or creamy white painted wood.

Steal an idea or two for your own home.

I love these floors.

Bobby Short is on his way.

(the piano)

So stylish.

Do prefer your 'wood-work' natural, 

stained, or painted in an entryway?

Christmas is coming

Winter is coming,

snow is falling.

I wish I were in it.

And all is dead as hell at work.

omg .....dead!

When I have too much time on my hands at work

I get nutty.

Funny nutty.

But, nutty.

Yesterday someone at work said ;

"Get this girl a client......she's wiggin' out"

And yet, I found myself hunting a dead...

There is a new man at work and his name is something like Bernard Buttwipe. He has made it very clear to all that will listen (or not) that he is untouchable because he has married into the family that runs the corporation that I work for.
In fact the very biggest and most controlling member of the 'Hare' family is now his father in-law,
The gal he married is his stepdaughter.

He is disliked by all. 
He is arrogant, he comes in late, leaves early and refuses to help out with the tedious duties
that we all have to take part in.

He can't or won't learn the system on the computers.
It's beneath him.
Everything is beneath him

We listen to him introduce himself at the door to people like this;
" Hello, welcome to Hares. And if you are interested in anything, just remember, 
I can get you the very best prices. 
Remember, I am in the Hare family". 

Anyway, 

as you might imagine 

we are just waiting for Bernard Buttwipe to bury himself.

Then a friend of mine calls me into her office to tell me this-

One of the Hare's customers that had purchased 10K worth of furniture at the Palm Beach showroom

decided to come into the Boca Raton store (where I work) to show a friend what they had purchased.

Bernard greeted them at the door and ......

Soon after that they drove very quickly back to the Palm Beach store.

When this customer arrived 

they went straight in and directly to the store manager.

Fuming.

Where they proceeded to tell the manager that they met a man in the Boca store

named Bernard Hare or that he was in the Hare family...

Anyway this man suggested that I cancel the order and that he could get me much better prices.

In my book

This IS STEALING!

But I was at work.

Trying to sell.

I couldn't get his shitty, shitty behavior out of my head.

His mere presence is toxic.

And now he has it in his head that he wants an office in the design department.

That's where I live and breath.

I will die.

He spies on the sales people.

He takes sneak pictures of people not wearing their jackets,

putting their feet up in their offices, or whatever else they could be doing wrong...

I don't get him.

And he mocks the real 'Hare' who is the niece of the 'Big Hare' 

and my boss who I have become very fond of.

I just get this sleazy vibe, a treacherous  vibe when ever I am near him or talk to him.

I try to stay clear of him-

without having any eye contact.

Or as little as possible.

I don't know, I just know that when his mouth is moving -

he is lying.

He was caught doing something that he was not supposed to be doing,

He tried to get out of trouble by blaming his behavior on someone else.

Guess who that was?

You got it!

ME!

I wasn't even in the building at the time!!!!

I was starting to feel really naughty-mischievous.

I thought to myself.....

there are always dead cockroaches laying around and upside down

in this place.

It was about time to close the store,

it was my 'Friday' (but really a Wednesday night)

I just wanted to find one.

Just one.

I felt the least I could do would be to put a roach in his business card box.

But while removing my binoculars, and taking off my cockroach safari suit...

I just shook my head and started to laugh out loud.

By the 5th day of work every week I go a bit mad.

You know we can imagine anything at all 

as long as we do not act on it.

I can dream.

Can't I?

but just in case.....

i think i will have my head checked out.

What is the worst thing 

you ever fantasized about doing to a coworker?
