♥ Red ♥

Red.

It’s my favorite color. That goes for decorating and for just about anything, including wearing. As a matter of fact, I’m wearing a red shirt as I type this. AND I have red-tinted hair (from a bottle yes, but nevertheless red).

According to all the “experts”, this is what it says about a person whose favorite color is red:

Red  Those who love red live life to the fullest and are tenacious and determined in their endeavors.

I guess I am pretty passionate about just everything and when I get determined, it IS hard to change my mind.  Hmm.....

Colt (my oldest) says everything around here is either red or tan. He also says that’s my answer to any question. He’s right. I just think you can’t go wrong with red. To me, it’s a happy color and it’s warm, cozy, and inviting. I just love being surrounded by red. (I need a button for my blog like yours Ms. Betty)!

I have to make myself try other colors because I naturally gravitate towards red especially when it comes to decorating. Let’s just take a look around my home to see how much I do love red……. We’ll start with the living room.

Let's see....we have the red walls, the pump lamp and of course my favorite, the red checked Johnston Benchworks couch that I dreamed of and waited so long to be sitting here.

 

And there’s the Liberty red checked fireside chair and the red shutters flanking the fireplace.

Next we’ll go into the kitchen. In here, we have the back door and the curtains. (Please excuse a few of these slightly blurry pics....I was experimenting with low light and didn't do very well).

The pantry door.

And my favorite piece, period........the stepback cupboard that Jason made.

Next we’ll move into the dining room. In here, I’m kind of proud of myself. I only accented with red. That showed much self-control.

Next on to the hallway bathroom. No self control here. It’s everywhere!

Okay, we’ll walk upstairs and take a look at the upstairs bath. I just went with a deeper shade of red here for the trim to accent. I had to try hard to refrain here on the red. Instead I used mostly blacks with the deep red accents. Can't be too predictable, right? (You can't see the rest of the black here, but it's there....I promise!)

This bathroom is still not quite finished.  But it's closer....Maybe I can share it soon.

Even Luke’s room has accents of a brighter red. But it definitely fits him.

Come to think of it, the only rooms with no red are the master bedroom, master bath and Joy’s room. (Even Colt’s room had touches of red).

And talk about red, The Cedar Loft is full of it!

And outside:

red shutters and planters

Red stars are everywhere....

Yes, I think you could walk in my house and easily guess that this Country Girl at Home’s favorite color is red. :)

So what’s YOUR favorite color?
