Zarrelli Home: Pop of Color

What a difference a little pop of color can make.

I said it before Tom thinks everything is blue in our home. It really is but I try not to admit that to him. It could be worse, he could be living in a pink house! But since he brought this to my attention I have been making a conscious effort not to buy anything blue and to try to add more colors in. Coral is one of my new favorite colors but also hard to find things that help accessorize in that color. I did find a large glass jug awhile back in a coral colored glass. Filled it with some faux ranunculus and white daisies and it brightened up the blue themed coffee table a bit. But as always, hubby didn’t like the fact that I blocked 1 of his 18 angles of his TV with it and moved it on me. So back to an all blue coffee table. Hmmmmm. Last night I was putting the finishing touches on the piece I painted for my parent’s house. While waiting for one of the spindles to dry so I could apply another coat of paint I looked around my room with my brush covered in barcelona orange and said what can I paint this color to accessorize this room. Yes, I was sitting on my living room floor painting. Another “no no” that Tom pointed out. I believe his exact words were “if I ever did that you would yell at me, but I guess it’s okay for you to do that”. Hmmmm…he’s right…again! So I spotted these seashells I bought not too long ago (that I am actually bored of already) and thought paint those Barcelona Orange and I did. I think they came out great and added that pop of color my bowl was missing.
