Look what I got in the mail today !!! Loving a little eye candy!!
AND ... Amanda Nisbett Designs. I ordered this sooooo long ago I forgot about it. It must have been HOT!!
As you, my sweet readers, know. I struggle with neutrals vs. color. I am on a relentless see-saw ... color/neutral/color/neutral.
Well, Amanda has helped me see the light. I think I just might be balanced with my new term. CGN. Color Goes Neutral. Seriously.
Look with me.
Nothing Harsh. Not too Busy. Not Overwhelming.
Just Neutals ... INfused with Color.
CGN - Color Goes Neutral.
CGN - Color Goes Neutral.
I just might have found the balance on my see-saw!!

Oh how I am with you.....it depends on the day whether I prefer a subdued palette or a vibrant one..... like the idea of a neutral base with a pop of color..... need to check out this book.
ReplyDeleteThis book looks great. I can't decide, either. The only thing constant around my home...is change.
ReplyDeleteThe book looks fabulous! Amanda Nisbet is one of my favorite designers! I love her use of colors in all her interiors. I agree with you on CGN, it's the perfect compromise! You still have some colors for interest and solid neutrals to ground everything together.

I got mine today, too!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous inspiration rooms!! I'm usually all about a neutral background with little pops of color around, so I love seeing these examples where rooms are infused with color- but yet it's neutral! So cool!
ReplyDeletePops of color can be fun for sure!
ReplyDeleteSo you got your a-ha moment. I love Amanda Nisbet - her use of color is fearless and so perfectly put together!

Oh Kim, I'm so on that same fence! I drive myself crazy going back and forth. Love your first photo, the perfect example ~ she has such a way with color!
ReplyDeleteHi Kim, love my book too, Amanda Nisbet is so talented. I always do a post on my new design book the week I get it in the mail. I may as well get a post out of that $30-75 dollars, right?!!
