Color blocking has been in fashion for a while now; but does it have a place in home decor?

I'm not going gray; that's just paint in my hair.

Hey there - I'm Sarah.Can't cook. Don't have time to clean. Full time day jobber, weekend grad student, and power tool collector. I have a knack for getting paint all over ME instead of all over the wall. But I'm determined (hissy fits and all) to turn a 1980s eyesore into a young, modern home. Join me for all of the fun and frustration... and bring your paint brush! More>>> |

I love THE IDEA of some of these, but don't feel I'd put them into practice. It always reminds me of coloring inside the lines, you know?
Yeah, I get you on that. My particular favorite is the dining room with brightly painted legs. I've been thinking about doing something with plum spray paint on the legs in my dining room, but I'm not 100% sold yet!
That pink table with the red chairs… all through high school, we always had one girl who loved to wear pink pants and a red top, and we always tried to tell her “it clashes, you can’t wear those colors together” So after 20 odd some years later, I still feel that way! LOL
