Growing up I heard more than once that I look just like my mother. My favorite story to tell is about a woman who stopped the two of us at a shopping center and said “Well don’t you two just look like Pete and Repeat!” I more than just look like my mother, though. We share quite a few personality quirks, one of which is that I get a little Color Mad myself.
As a kid my favorite activities always involved paint, markers, or anything else bright and shiny I could get my hands on. When trying to figure out what career path to take without becoming a starving artist, it was Mom who steered me in the right direction with “Uh, Lex, did you consider Interior Design?” So, yes, I have a bit of a thing for color.
I hope you understand, then, when I say that I got a little misty eyed when I discovered the website Design Seeds. This website by Jessica Colaluca creates beautiful color palates inspired by photographs taken from nature and other fun images. The results are breathtaking. I have a feeling a few of these might work their way into some of my designs very soon!

Priscilla Lane A friend of mine posted links to Design Seeds about a year ago. I check it every once in while. Never know when you'll find a palette that just speaks to you!

Becky Thomas Lane It's not just the color palettes that speak to me, it's those gorgeous photographs of the ordinary things from which they drew the palettes. It's such a marvelous gift, to be able to slow down enough to look at simple, ordinary things, like those paintbrushes, in a whole new way, and to be inspired by them!

Priscilla Lane I think it's hard to create a palette from things you just see sitting around. I usually get mine from a piece of fabric or art--someone else has done the hard part (picking the colors), I just have to mix colors to match!
