#21 - Suze's Colors Good Enough to Eat

Name: Suze
Location: Seattle
Type: 2 bdrm. Condo, owned

Why I use color:

I use color because it makes me happy everyday to wake up to cool green and blue, to walk into an orange kitchen with the light streaming in (we get precious little in Seattle) the Mondrian tile in my shower makes me smile in anticipation of the day...

...and when I sit down to breakfast or dinner the wonderful celadon of the walls and vaulted ceilings of my place make for a calm serene transition from day to night, work to play and back again a never ending nurturing environment.

2 Good color tips:

Coffee and cream, orange and lime, the best colors combos should sound good enough to eat.

Mix complimentary woods, nature does and it makes any scene more interesting.

Sherwin Williams flat latex paints and glazes.

Your kitchen looks like it would be so much fun to cook in while it is raining. Pretty.

The kitchen and the shower are fabulous! The rest, not so much.

The dining room floor is concrete?! That's so cool.

that's an excellent entry way, though. if you wouldn't have used flash, the light wouldn't have bounced off the framed artwork and there wouldn't be the weird reflections, though.
i really like the large hanging light!

Your shower is awesome, and I love the exit sign above the door!

I love all of it--except the bedroom, which I just think is nice. The bathroom is to die for!!!
