THE ANSWERS

Seems the game was too hard. MaryAnn wins - not because she played - just cause she responded. You know she really can't help it. Those 30 years old brain cells are probably just tired. I really would like to know about the tattoos. Happy birthday my lovely friend.




Iron Ore - destination #1 - a deep charcoal grey - really looks like unfinished iron before the rust starts

Fountain - destination #5 - a refreshing look of the sky reflecting in a the smooth water of a lake. The inside of the fountains at most hotels are often this teal color. a soft medium teal.

Crabby Apple - Destination #2 - the deepest brown red of a crabbapple - we never saw this color as kids - we would always climb the tree and get the green ones - bite into them just for the pucker factor and then toss them. Deep and earthy and beautifully fall - this to me would be a perfect dining room color.

Pink Shadow - Destination #3 - really a soft pinky creamy beige - like weathered lace of a long ago prom dress. This color mixed with a soft green would be stunning in a studio.

Wood Violet - Destination #1 - a true purple - but not like the Barney purple - this is a livable color - would be stunning with dark mahogony furniture and black wrot iron accents.

Feverish Pink - Destination #2 - rosy pink - deep - looks like the colors generated by the sun streaming through stained glass to me.

Quilt Gold - destination #5 - think of the gold in a peacock feather - not a color you want the whole bird to be - but still a gorgeous accent to the bright blues, greens, purples, blacks, and browns of the bird. Too showy on its own - needing the other to be appropriate.

There you go. Notice - there were no Destination #4 colors on my list - Every color on #4 appears somewhere else in the lists. Travel - pack your bags - take something of yourself everywhere you go and leave it there - bring back something from everywhere you go. Mix it up - add to it. The experience is yours.

All of these colors and notes are from the Sherwin Williams "STIR" magazine. You can subscribe for yourself at www.swstir.com.



These photos were downloaded from there too. I tear these magazine apart all the time. The images and words find their way into my inspiration collages and notebooks.
