Reflections on Color

I really want these curtains. Lately, I've been thinking a lot about decorating our apartment, and I've basically settled on the following color combination, which I uploaded using Behr's Color Smart Lab:



It might not be perfect, but at least it gives me an idea on how to work with our dark sofa, black furniture and add some of the yellows I'm loving now! It's still hard to imagine spending much money on decor while we still live in an apartment - with each new apartment, you never know if everything will mesh as well. However, I do think it is important to have a vision of what you want before you ever begin shopping, to avoid impulse purchases. My hope is to have one fabulous piece in each room - whether a piece of art or a great piece of furniture - and mix together old favorites, new staples and great finds from local markets and antique stores.

Anyway, that's my plan. For now, just the curtains, please.
