A Marmie Life: Living Color

I just love color! All shades. All colors. And bright ones esp. It's so funny when I go to try on clothes with one of my girlfriends. I come back to the dressing room with turquoise, red, yellow or orange. Then, she says it looks like a Crayola box just threw up in your arms!! But color is a mood & a feeling & a necessity in my life. I found these quotes that are perfect for Living Color:

"A Picture of many colors proclaims images of many Thoughts" - Donna A. Favors

"The mind wears the colors of the soul, as a valet those of his masters." -Anne Sophie Swetchine

"Why do two colors, put one next to the other, sing? Can one really explain this? no. Just as one can never learn how to paint" -Pablo Picasso

But some people like nudes or black or white. Which I think is just a different view of color. That way they have a blank canvas & all the colors of their life POP! Which is exactly why I painted my walk-in closet jet black. All the colors of my wardrobe look incredible!

Here are the colors of my life today:

I am repainting my Hot Latin Lover (that's what I call my husband...hehe) Red Living Room. I am thinking a calming driftwood ocean blue/gray. The bottom blue is what I am thinking. Then adding color in the furniture & accessories.

Color with Texture above my computer. From the amazing works of Mary Mac
I just noticed the H to the left of the phone. Sophia went thru a stage where she wrote H's all over the house. Here is one I couldn't get off! hahaha

Super Fun Color on my "Blank" Canvas house. Yarn wrapped wreath with felt flowers that I found in
the fall from Gussy Sews.

Here are my Marmie Skittle Hobo bags that were sooo much fun to create & make!

Loving my electric blue pants that I got from Target for $22. I paired it my my Gaga's vest (my grandmother). I love this acrid gold color scarf too. It really looks good with Black & White. And I found this great new way to do your scarfs - The Pretzel Knot. Follow this Tutorial to find out :

One thing I am working on are metallic brocade over sized clutch. I am combining fun color vintage fabrics with bright color zippers. This zipper is tangerine! I also have bright Red that I am pairing with Black & Gold Brocade.

I couldn't leave out food. The prettier & brighter it is then the more appetizing it is to me. This is one of my all time favorites. French Tomato Pie!! made my group of Girlfriends :)
