real life colour inspiration

Hope you all had a great weekend full of end-of-summer colour! I took some shots of some delicious goodies at the local farmers market, and here are the colour palettes they inspired. May the summer extend well into September...

I arrived on the East Coast of Canada this weekend to spend two weeks "home" visiting family and friends. This is where I grew up and lived most of my life, until I recently moved west. I was struck on my return at just how green and lush everything is. It made me take notice of the many different green colour palettes that exist in nature. So here are a few of the real-life colour palettes that the weekend has inspired. Enjoy!

Happy Monday everyone! I had a lovely weekend exploring a local country farmers' market and hiking in the mountains, which are chock full of wildflowers right now. I was attracted to some great colours and found myself thinking about how to use them in my home. Inspiration comes from many things and places, not just design magazines, websites and stores. Remember to keep your eyes open and make a mental note of colours and textures you're drawn to.

Here are some of the things I saw and loved this weekend, and the palettes they inspired.
