Anniversary Roses


These are some of the petals left from a beautiful selection of roses my husband bought me for our 23rd anniversary in late June.  I loved the various color especially the top larger batch which had a range of colors from pale yellow to a dark peach.
I feel that all colors of roses are harmonious and can work together easily in an arrangement. These colors would not work well together in an interior color palette however. They are too intense and all from the warm side of the color wheel.
  Here is a palette that might work well in a room however 
(bathroom or girl's bedroom, perhaps)

Top color: Bubble Bath


or even...

top color: Victorian Purple






(both palettes found on www.benjaminmoore.com

FINALLY! SPRING IN UPSTATE NEW YORK!

We finally are seeing some beautiful spring colors here in upstate New York. In particular, spring green, pink, and white.  Here are a few flowering trees I shot last week. They seem dramatic more so due to the blue sky in the background - a type of light we hardly ever see in Ithaca. How these colors translate to interior design - I can only speculate.


Candy Green (#403) color combination
 
Strawberry (2085-50) color combination

Twilight blue (2067-30) and white combo
