DECORATING INSPIRATION: RED
It’s almost Valentine’s Day!
So, of course, we can’t let this opportunity to talk about decorating with RED slip by without a mention now can we? I’ve always loved red and used it in most of my houses.
Do any of you remember my red toile chair, from back in the old house? I loved that chair.
I kind of miss having red in this house. I do have some red, but I really would like more.
Hmmm. Maybe time to make that happen! There are so many ways to use red, and so many variations in the shades and tones of red! I would love to paint some doors red!
So what do you think? Seems like there are lovers of decorating with red and those who just don’t like it.
I know lots of you love Sarah’s House as much as I do, and she has done some awesome rooms with red! A couple of them are featured in my collage, above. You can also find some of Sarah’s red rooms in my post on 5 Decorating ideas from Sarah’s Cottage and on this post about Autumn Rooms.
So, Red. Yay or nay?
Let’s do a battle of the red in the comments and tell me if you love decorating with red or not!

in small doses, yes.

YES!
I LOVE everything Sarah Richardson does! She`s fantastic, funny and chic!
YES!
I love RED. I painted my kitchen table and chairs bright RED with Marine paint several years ago and they they are still going strong in the second house I`ve had them in.I have lots of RED accents in my Turquoise Blue kitchen and Creamsicle Family room, too.Red pops are fun in my daughter`s Lime Green bedroom, and my son`s bed frame is RED!
Go RED!
Red makes me happy…and anyone who visits my house would know that instantly as I have tons of it in my family room, kitchen, and dining room! Not to mention the master bedroom as well as accents in 2 of my 3 boys’ rooms. It is a fabulously lively uch color and can brighten any space…or heart!
There’s nothing wrong with a little color! I’m a home decorator in Rochester, and I make sure I have some color in each room I design. Keep up the great writing!
