Focusing on Life: color

"Take notice about how color affects their mood or how the color impacts their perception of an object" was Sally Russick's prompt this week for focusing on life. I always feel better when I come home with something new to wear. When I was in town this week I decided to stop at the second hand store and this is what I came home with. As I removed them from the bag I draped them across the back of a chair to admire my new finds before putting them away. I thought they made an interesting color combination. I think the Jamaican print is cool and I know that I will wear the grey lace.
   My second photo is of my diningroom wall. My husband picked the colors. We painted "racing stripes" around the whole room. I know that diningrooms are not supposed to be this color but I love it.

    Thanx Cynthia. I have read that aqua/teal makes food look unappetizing, but I like it so that is what matters to me.

    I love the colors of the blouses you picked up. They look like they were meant to be together. And I love the color of your dining room--vibrant but soothing.

    Thanx Alice. They looked to me like they were meant to be together to me too. The stripes in my diningroom were a little difficult to tape for painting but I think it was well worth the effort.

    Thanx Tanya. I agree. I love the color and my diningroom should be the color I want it to be not what someone else says.

    Thanx Claire I am happy with my new clothes too. I love my diningroom color. It has been this color for 10 years and I am not tired of it yet. I have had several people tell me that my links don't work. I will have to figure out how to fix this.
