as much as I love color
I equally love whites, creamy opaque whites, and tarnished silver
nothing perfect, just a right amount of grunge
a good edgy white

I love color!
A picture in my studio, it is a framed piece of spray paint graffiti that I did a few years back. I think it's fun in the vintage turn of the century walnut frame.

An all white and neutral color scheme would never work for me, under the cover of the night I would be sneaking in color.
 
When decorating, I have to have white crisp trim and neutral color walls but then I layer on the color.  My studio is painted a light steel grey. The color works well with the industrial cabinets, vintage finds and supports all the color that I crave but it doesn't photograph well.

The crazy level of humidity today forced me to set up an impromptu drying pole for bangles. Hanging from the door is a favorite vintage 60's long shift dress.

I adore vintage clothes.

Love this vintage dress in a rainbow shock of bright colors. Someone asked me why neon bright colors are popular right now; my response is that they have always been popular. Case in point this hip 60's cocktail dress. For every decade since the 60's, I can recall neon color being popular in some aspect.
