Color Inspiration - Old Fashioned Rose

Color Inspiration from our new rose garden. Can't you just smell this David Austin old fashioned rose?

I accidentally over-exposed this shot, but ended up liking the result - soft, warm pinks, greens and taupe all on the Warm, Light Earthone color wheel (from Eye For Color)

"Beverly, I'm so excited to take your new book with me to the Bead & Button! I always get so overwhelmed by all of the color on the showroom floor and end up spending way over my budget because I can't narrow down my choices.

I plan to read your book on the airplane to Milwaukee and choose 3 to 5 of my favorite palettes to work from. Thank you so much for this great color resource!"
