Color Inspiration!!

I got this J.Crew ad in my email a week or two ago. Couldn't you just eat up all the color?! I'm using similar colors in our new place. Lots of grays, blacks and navy (and of course white - the floors and walls) and then really fun pops of color - persimmon red, raspberry, violet, orange, emerald green, mustard yellow, lime... sort of sounds more like a grocery store than a living room.


Anyway, speaking of colorful, I stumbled across these amazingly bright and beautiful consoles on Overstock and I had to share.


A pair of this chest would be great as night stands.


I'm absolutely dying over the green one! A little bit of fluorescent color in a room feels so modern and fresh.


I hope you're having a nice and relaxing week! We're taking things slow around here. xoxox

    These are really cool, Jenny. I'm nervous to add THAT much color to my house though. Is it actually liveable or would I go crazy?

    The consoles are great, but I have to admit I was most excited for the confetti! I saw it the other day on J.Crew's site, and I think I'm going to make it for a bridal shower table!

    Thanks so much for posting these -- I've been looking for an extra storage piece on the bedroom and the red console is pretty perfect. Just bought it!

    I love the red 4-door piece, but am wondering if the dimensions on Overstock are correct. It seems very short and narrow:
    Dimensions: 22 inches high x 60 inches wide x 8 inches deep for furniture
    The proportions in the photo appear to be wider and taller. Your thoughts?

    LOVE the pops of color and all of that furniture. I'm trying to implement some sophisticated pops of color in my house right now... I have a really neutral palatte, so it's been fun!

    I can't wait to see what you come up with - I was thinking of a similar "pops of color" scheme in our next house!

    I would love to see how you pull all these colors together. That sounds a lot like the color pallete I'm doing in our living room. A saphire sofa with black, white and gray, with pops of purple and coral. Still trying to figure it all our though!

    I love the chest. I am just not sure if I would go with that color but I do like how all the bright colors really do make a room pop.
