These bold, colorful, unabashedly bright spaces make me smile. I've chosen some quotes to go with the, for your reading enjoyment.

~Paul Klee

Wow! What a fabulous post! I especially love that quote: "Green is the prime color of the world, and that from which its loveliness arises." ~Pedro Calderon de la Barca
GORGEOUS!! Really beautiful. I love the green and blue. =)
Way cool!!! LOVE the quotes to go along with the lovely rooms! Color makes me happy like nothing else. Well maybe icecream. Colorful icecream...perfect!
i love that last quote, about pissing god off :) perfect. color to me is just about everything. it's mood, it's life and it's necessary. i seem to go through phases of my life where i deviate to one color palette over another. right now i'm loving smoky greys, wines and metallics. loving i tell ya!
That couch is awesome!
I love the green quote too.
Gorgeous rooms! I'm a sucker for a good fish pillow!
Color moves me in ways I couldn't possibly describe; it has the power to evoke emotion without words, and what's better than that? ;) Have you seen this site: http://www.colourlovers.com ? It's all about combinations and palettes; the graphic designer where I work turned me onto it . . .
I love color so...I think I appreciate it most when it's surrounded by neutrals or black. Any pop of color gives me an instant mini moment of happy!
Color breathes life!
Bold color makes me feel super sassy :] In a fabulous way, not in a talk about you behind your back kind of way. LOVE the first couch omg
that yellow wall can give someone a seizure but i love it!
I'm a bold people! :) I LOVE color. I wear orange all the time, I'll do a room in lime green. I used to be all neutrals - now, I may need to dial it back the other way. I love that you included black and white too. That can pack a real punch - just as much as tangerine. Great post!
I love white rooms but those are gorgeous!
Love the red chair!
i like morrissey's quote of
"i wear black on the outside cos black is how i feel on the inside"
those images are just beautiful esp. second one
I love these bold colors!! I absolutely adore bold accents.
i love the fabrics in the photos above. Also, you have the best polaroids in your previous posts! I'm very envious.
I love this blog! And congrats on all your awards!

This is such a fabulous post, Christina! Alice Walker's post is the best!
I love these vibrant rooms....I enjoy being surrounded by color!
I really love the last one...says.."I'm rich and I like to sit and reflect on my riches"...lol
so digging on that green wallpaper!
i have been seriously wanting to do my townhouse in some pretty wallpaper. but do not want to fuss over taking it down if i move. is there a easy way for me to be happy with wallpaper?!
these are some great colors - seeing a room decorated like these is very inspiring!

I am a student of the Psychology of Color, and with that in mind, I tend to tackle any various version that tickles my ideals. So, at the moment my 'all-in-one' room is painted a plum purple, and since then we seem to be a bit more cerebral around here.
I do watch how the guys react to each room, if the judge the color first, or comment on how the feel in that room either on their way out, or the second time around.
these are amazing! i love color, but am sometimes a little shy with it. the last pic is the most "me", but i love them all!
love these pictures. and the sofa his fierce.
I could so live with the pea soup.
love love love that yellow and all the colors. i cant wait to decorate! ahhh
Love the second photo! The colors are just stunning!
wow. simply amazing entry.
thanks for stopping by :)
I love all of them! Especially the first couch!!!
In general I prefer having warmly airy colours where I live, cos I like to have a relaxing environment! But I do like having one or two rooms with lovely bright colours and contrasting patterns so an energy boost!
Love them all, especially the third one. When I see the right color for me at the time, it is very clear I have to be surrounded by it. Sometimes days, sometimes always!
Color DEFINITELY sets a mood or tone...
That red chair - I love it! I'm all for color, as you know, I think it brightens your day... I'm not one for pale tones in a room or on me.
Color is my friend! Love these images!
OMGOMGOMGOMG!! LOVE THIS!no.seriously! how awesome is that 3rd shot?!?! WOW WOW WOW loving it,and the last one too!! aaahhmazing!
The blues are so wonderful - ah, I just LOVE blue!!
Great bold colored rooms! I used one bold color - in my bedroom. It's parrokeet green and I'm so happy waking up to that color every morning :)
Beautiful colours! I received my Mineralista make up (also beautiful colours) - thanks! I'll post about them on my blog when I've had a chance to try them out. They look amazing even in the jars.
Great pics....and definitely like Dilly Dallas. :)
