Design Camp: Color Palettes

Last night was our very first session of Design Camp with the lovely and talented Tobi Fairley! We learned a lot about color palettes, which can be very tricky. She brought out boxes and boxes of paint chips. There were too many choices, and I was afraid I would never be able to settle on anything. I was right, I ended up making 3 color palettes!
I've wanted to design a purple room for years, but I have yet to figure out how to put a man in a purple room. But I can dream it....



This is the first color palette I made. Red, white, tan, and blue - just like my house....



My original thought for this next one was a bedroom for Emma. The example I found may be a little sophisticated for a 10-year old, but she would grow to appreciate it....



And this is Sandi's color palette. (I snuck my camera over to get a pic.) I love the orange with the light blue. Yes, beachy indeed!



And our new friend, Keith, who drove all the way down from Fayetteville, made something like this....


I would definitely say our first night was a success!
