Inspired by Orange

As promised, a collage of orange accessories that were inspired by an earlier post on International Orange, the awesome color of the Golden Gate Bridge.

If orange walls scare you, perhaps try one of these bold accents in a grey, white, or neutral colored room. So fun, I am thinking of redesigning a room in our place.

While listening to NPR on my way to work recently, I heard an article about the Golden Gate Bridge how special, yet apparently accidental, the color of the bridge is. Here is the link to the article, so that you can hear to learn more about the color and the care for this national landmark for yourself.

It was interesting to learn of the origin of the color, as well as to understand the care and pride that goes into maintaining it's special color by a group of dedicated individuals. While the exact color is a secret, I started to notice this wonderful color (or something like it!) around me. I took a walk one evening after work and took a bunch of photos, with the awe inspiring Golden Gate Bridge and international orange in mind. This walk had me thinking further about how wonderful this color would be used in an interior space. What a bold color choice! Here is a great interior space that uses international orange to make a statement.

Thanks for reading!

Here goes....

INSPIRE. CREATE. HOME.

Three words that capture what I hope this blog will become. Inspire. Create. Home. I hope to inspire people with words and images. Share my words and the words of others to inspire change in day to day life, courage to create, power to move forward, and to motivate both you and me to LIVE LIFE!

Through these words and images I hope to encourage creation. As a third generation artist, creating art of many different forms has always been my outlet. I find so much joy in creating - sometimes there is not enough time for all that I want to do! I have been lucky enough to translate my love for creating into my career as a designer, and now, after FINALLY completing graduate school, into my hobbies that I now have time for.

Creating is a constant learning process. It is an outlet to release and discover. I hope my blogging and images, help inspire, encourage creation and discovery, and help you create "home"....whatever that may be for you. Slainte!
