Dear Daughters: My Color Philosophy

IMGP0637

Dear Daughters,


Today I woke up and decided that choosing

colors for my home

is no longer going to create

dread and indecision

and phone calls to one or all of you.

(Keep reading- this is a win-win.)


I have simply been looking

for inspiration in the

wrong place. 


Sherwin Williams

has the products to make color change happen,

but that wall of

paint swatches

has never made my heart sing.


This does however.

As does this.

So, it then made perfect sense.

if I want something painted the color of eggplant-

Look. At. An. Eggplant.


Sherwin Williams does not have a produce department.

Just another day of deep thoughts

from my house to yours!

Love,

Mom

I've been known to plant eggplant just to get to stare at the color. One of my all time favorites.
BUT...how do you make a man see the color "eggplant" and not purple?

What a great place to look for inspiration - problem is, now I'm hungry!

Eggplant for dinner anyone?

So glad you joined our Color party.

So now you are encouraging women around the world to hit the grocery store first and then bring their produce to the Sherwin Williams store for some color matching! I love it!

Thank you so much for sharing at our Crazy for Color link party!
