Grabbing your Colour Scheme from an Artwork

As I was cleaning out a cupboard full of re-claimed frames that I have collected, I came across an art work which my mum had given me to re-purpose. The painting contained all the colours that I had grouped together in the kitchen (a total coincidence). Teal, violet, white, black, grey, cream, a touch of red and inky blue.  So I threw the painting in to the mix and it's now an anchor for the array of colours that I had used. Pictures are a clever way to tie together a random and unpredictable colour scheme...........

So if you are wanting to do a multiple colourway in a room and don't know where to start............ an art work (you might already have) could be your source of inspiration and the link that you need..........

The lampshade on the left below I intend to cover when I get back from our holiday, super simple to do, I'll show you how......

 

 

this is my final post before going on holidays for 2 weeks as of tomorrow...........I have heaps of DIY'S in store to try out and report on when I get back. .................. so have a fabulous fortnight and BYE for now!!!!

 just a quick pic of the same colour way, but used in different quantities..............
