Spring Time is right around the corner. So many of us are thinking of a few different ways to freshen up our space…maybe some pillows…a coat of paint…a
new comforter…redoing that piece of furniture that has been sitting in the garage for a year…hanging new artwork on the wall…who knows you might even get that family gallery wall installed (note to self)…maybe some wallpaper…curtains are always fun…or some really serious remodeling…whatever it is …big or small it is always fun to
Pick your Palette!
So here is a bit of Spring Time Color Inspiration…simply some eye candy that just might say to you…that’s the color!!! It’s all about Home Sweet Home here at the Cottage Market on the weekends so have some and don’t forget tomorrow is the Cottage of the Week!
Aren’t these colors YUMMY!!!!
Now watch how they are used in this very happy room!
So fresh you can almost feel that cool breeze.
There are times that you are inspired by something as simple and gorgeous as a picture perfect bouquet of flowers like this…
you can take these fresh picked flowers and achieve and amazing palette…check it out…
so when you see an arrangement you love or any combination of colors you see that grab you…snap a picture and go check out those paint chips and form your palette…it fun…easy and free to do!
Looking for something FRESH…here are some cool colors!
See…amazing colors EVERYWHERE!
When you are looking through a magazine and something pops out at you…it could have the perfect color combination that you were looking for…sometimes you find out that the color you were not too crazy about really looks awesome (I am talking about me…I am not an orange fan…but here it looks incredible!)
Think about all the delicious colors of fresh fruits and you will be surprised what you find…
Maybe some frosty sorbet…a bow and some flowers might hold the key!
Here’s an example of someone finding their perfect palette and executing it perfectly with accents…so in another year or two when a new palette is on the menu…it can happen without MAJOR investments like new furniture.
Take a peek at this symphony of Spring Time freshness…
now let’s see how those spectacular colors would translate into a room…
or…
Your choice may be a the classic black and white with touches of gray…here is a great example of a fresh take on those favorites!
Inspiration is never far away…it might be as simple as a stack of mugs and bowls!
This is the palette I am feeling right now…deep sigh…never thought chartreuse would ever be in the collection of colors…who knew?
What a fun and inexpensive way to pull colors into your room…add some fun storage boxes…candlesticks…fun accessories on a shelf…a desk…a counter…viola…color that can be changed up in a second!
Glancing the wedding blogs and enjoying the new bride color palette selections just might be what inspires you…this makes me fall in love with mint and strawberry all over again!
then if you want to kick it up a notch…you can find that too!
along with some combinations that are unexpected!
So even if you are not planning a wedding…the bridal blogs are fun to look at and sometimes you are just so surprised at what you find!
A rainbow of hues can be hiding in the wear of the years…
Looking for a bit more Spring Time drama without the sherbet color prominence…how about this…
Here is a palette that is so fresh and young…maybe perfect for the finicky tween in your life!
This one is perfect for the cottage lover!
You next inspiration might be in your breakfast selection…I think I might have to rethink the oat colored choices! : ) Bottom line…color is everywhere…grab some and make them your own!
This post could literally go on for an eternity (can’t wait for the jewel tone edition : ) but I do think you have a little bit to gaze at and hopefully some of these combinations or maybe just a single color has inspired you…one more peek at what is happening in the world of color in the year 2013!
Let’s take a peek at what the Pantone Palette for 2013 is…
so pretty and so many possibilities!
What is the Pantone color of the year?
Just in time for St. Patrick‘s Day…
My wish for you today is to have a day filled with color!

What a fun, colorful post as I read from a rainy cold morning. I think I will have some fruit loops and then get a mani and paint my nails light blue… I have always wanted to do that. Have a great weekend.
All so pretty! I can’t wait for sprint to arrive.
Meravigliose le tue ispirazioni!

Ah! How refreshing! thanks for putting this awesome post together!
I’m in the process of making a giant button ball garland for the wall of my dinning room. The wall is yellow and my garland is mostly pink, red and blue in pastels and brights. It’s going to look so fun and happy once I get it hung up! ♥
It’s hailing here. This was much need and so pretty!!
Andrea, I just adore this colorful post! You know how I’m drawn to colorful things …

I think this is a wonderful color fest. Thank you for sharing! But, I have a question, on our home we have siding that is a very light almond, (I call it butter) white trim around the windows, a metal roof that is copper (fake) shiny as a new copper penny shutters and light fixtures are copper also. The banister on our porch is stained with translucent green stain . Our front and back doors are white, and I need to figure out a color for them, anybody have an ideal??? I am so stuck…..
