The Grand Color Scheme
So as crazy as this sounds, the design for Our Historic Wonderland has been mega stressing me out. Well, I am not sure if “stressing” is the right word, maybe just overwhelming me. I’m not sure if it’s because I love our current house so much… or that I want this one to be “perfect” since we will likely and hopefully be here forever… or because Mark has been giving me mile long lists of deadlines (hehe love ya babe)… or maybe because I feel like so many people are “watching” me now… Yes, I wrote it out and it does in fact sounds crazy. I guess I just hadn’t found that mega source of inspiration that I have been searching for to make it all make sense. As promised, I am taking you through every single step of my design process. And for me, inspiration is where it all begins. You see, I did find ONE a while back but just an inspiration in the sense of the overall FEELING of the home…

There is just something about this space that literally just speaks to me. Not any one thing in particular just the vintage glam yet slightly rustic and industrial feeling that creates such drama and elegance. Okay, I am sounding obsessive. Anyways, so I had the “feeling” down, now I was on a hunt for the color scheme…
First, I knew I wanted something completely different than what we have now. Next, Mark and I are OBSESSED with the Jonathan Louis velvet sectional that we have in our basement and plan on using it in our main living room in this home. You can read more about THAT HERE. And finally, I am IN LOVE with this color…

So that’s where my head was….. different than our current home, a color scheme that works with our navy/indigo velvet sectional and somehow incorporate rose quartz into the color scheme.
After that was all squared away, I took to Pinterest (follow me on Pinterest RIGHT HERE) to mesh all of those ideas together… (post contains affiliate links)
Color Scheme Inspiration
Yep, you saw that right. A dish towel, mug and measuring cups brought it all together for me. And here’s your first look at my Our Historic Wonderland color scheme…
So what do you think? I’ll be sharing more of the plan this week so stay tuned!
XOXO, Brittany Hayes
