are you brave enough...

                                                  to go BOLD!
                                             
       Today, I thought I'd share my inspiration for painting the coffee table.
                                                      
      When I saw this fabulous peacock blue desk, painted by the cute, hip and
              stylish designer, Danielle, I couldn't wait to paint something!
                        (But, I chickened out and went with a safe neutral.)
                 Danielle's abode is chock-full of colorful amazingness!
                            
                                         

                                                                             
                    Here's more inspiration from around the blogosphere if you need
                                                 a dose of courage.
                                  
                            You could start small by jazzing up a chair or two...

            
                                                           
                                     or give new life to a thrift store find....
                     
            
                                            
                                          or use sunny yellow to brighten a corner....
                                 
                          
                                              
                                         or take your table up a notch....

                                   

                                           or add some spice to your kitchen....

                          
                                                
                                        or splash on a pretty pink for pizazz ....

                             
                                                                                                   
                                                 The possibilities are endless.... 

                                                 Are you the brave, bold type?
                                                    Or a wannabe like me!

Love all those bold colors....I am brave but you can't tell from all my latest projects...Maybe a bright green is in order!

I have a friend that calls me "Neutral Nelly," and when I go shopping, I always come home with a bag full of gray, black and white. I like encouraging others to go bold, though!

I'm a wannabe, but I do love your photos of the bold and the beautiful! Great inspiration, especially the peacock blue desk... Hmmm?!

Thanks so much for including my desk!

Love bold pieces - they can make such a statement in a room. I'm not afraid at all - just needs to be in the right space. Our current home is quite bold to say the least but I love it.

I could definitely do the red, but I'm a bit more neutral in my other choices.

Love your coffee table transformation. Great job!

Take care,

Lori

I can totally relate to hesitating with bold colors, I’ve been there too. When I needed a break from overthinking those choices, I ended up spending some time on vincispin and it was exactly what I needed to clear my head. They even have special bonuses for players from Mexico, which made it more enjoyable. After a few short gaming sessions, I felt more relaxed and ready to take on those daring ideas without second-guessing myself so much.

What to do when regular entertainment stops making you happy? I decided to look for something fresh and unusual. I ended up on casinomate — at first I just wanted to watch, but ended up staying for a long time. The platform surprised me with its simplicity and atmosphere. It turned out to be really nice to spend time there. Sometimes it is these finds that become the best part of the evening.
