Washed Out Look and Ivory Shirts

 I ran in Hobby Lobby today
and walked around looking
at things. 

I noticed a theme in art work...
a washed out look, 
no pops of color.







Can't really decide on how
I feel about this.
I sort of like but then 
I like a pop of color also...
just not sure. 

On another note, I don't like
white. Not a fan of white walls,
cabinets or back splashes.
I don't like wearing white either. 
I like off white, ivory and even 
colors that lean to a light
beige. With that said, it has
been YEARS since I have
been able to find ivory or
off white shirts in the stores.
Yesterday I was in Penney's to 
pay my bill and WOW, ivory
shirts all over. I had to stop
at Wally World also and they
even had ivory shirts.
I love it.
 

Do you tend to prefer certain 
colors in what you wear and 
decorate with?
When decorating do you
like pops of color or
the above washed out look?

I realize I do like to paint with neutrals but I do love colour at the same time. So maybe a mix.

Interesting about the washed out look. I'm a pretty full color person. I suppose all those could work in the right place -- but not my place.

I don't mind white walls, but I don't like all white home decor. I have to have a bit of color in the rooms to make it feel cozy and comfortable. But I do like some pictures with all white as an accent color, like that Wintery scene with the trees and the white blossom tree you saw at Hobby Lobby. They are really pretty. Oh, I miss shopping there, as we don't have one up here in the mountains. Have to drive about 50 minutes there. Did you buy anything?

I have white walls and our backsplash is a beige color. My color comes from other places so I can change the look with them. Paintings, flowers and the like. You'd hate my home. It's good that we all have what we like.

Have a fabulous day. Scritches to the furbabes. ♥

I really like that first painting.
When it came to my house for years I had different colors in each room Then I decided I wanted antique white on all the walls. I still have rooms upstairs that need painted but I like the antique white for the walls and I can add color with small accessories that I can easily change out.
As for clothes, I normally go for blue or black.

I don't dislike the washed out look, but it's nice to have colour in places too.

All the best Jan

Hobby Lobby has lots of colorful things but paintings aren't one of them these days.

Maybe the washed out look is a snowy January thing? I don't know. I think neutrals are big right now. This too shall pass.

When I was a teen I had my colors done, so I stick with the "autumn" shades. It seems to work for me.

The Rest of Today

After my trip to town today,  visit with the doc, stopping  and picking up breakfast I  headed home.  I had dropped Dakota off at mom's for the day. He was going  to spend the day  playing with Klohe and Cheyenne. While he was hanging at mom's Lily and I chilled all day.  So much to do but I can't seem to get it in gear. Later....I had an apt for a hair cut. But I left out early to stop  at the  Mystic Heart. I picked up some healing stones there.  Entering the store I read this sign... haha Then while in there I saw this sign. From there I headed to see  Kelley, my hair stylist. This is what I was shooting for. Course, it will look different on  me due to hair color and  texture of hair.  I am good with it. I got to Heads Up a bit early  so Kelley still had a young boy she was working on and his dad after him. I had to snap a pic of Kelley making sure that I got

Well, what was I thinking? HAHA After laying on my couch in so much pain all summer, I knew moving closer to  Amber was the thing to do, The timing of finding my dream home was off. However, Two days of Open House and I have a contract. Selling as is, minor repairs.  Inspection to be done after  the work in the  den and BR is done. The process of getting here while just a couple of weeks of healing was a challenge. My daughter was a big  help weekend before  last. I just collect to many projects that I  never get around to and that has to stop. I have to say, last time  was easier, I had moved into my childhood home before I sold the other, so it was empty when sold. EASIER. I hate moving so close to Christmas but it is  what it is. Fall seems to have made it to us the past week. I am surprised, we were losing so many leaves due to no rain,  glad to have some color. In between packing, cleaning, repairs and life in general, I have  managed to do a few things. I taught a paint class an
