Whenever I need a jolt of color inspiration for one of my designs, I quickly look to the world. Travel and mother nature have created some of the most beautiful color combinations I have ever seen and I am always left so inspired by what I see. It wasn't until I heard about Valspar's #Colorforall initiative that I really became grateful for the fact that I can see all the beautiful colors of the world.

I get choked up by the beautiful colors in architecture, the hues of blues in the water, gorgeous rays of pink and gold during sunsets, the greens in the forest and the jewel tones of exotic birds. Sometimes I take for granted what a luxury it is to have my sight as what I see is what inspires my greatest work. See some of the beautiful things in this world that inspire me...

Aren't the colors just so beautiful?

Valspar has created a short film titled Color for the Colorblind that chronicles the journey of four individuals living with colorblindness and their reactions to seeing colors for the first time through the use of the EnChroma glasses.

Take a look at this video and be inspired.

Did a little shopping today for one of my E-decorating clients. We are ordering her an ink blue sofa from West elm. While I was browsing around, I found a few more things I am in love with. As much as I am a gold girl, I fell totally in love with this silver jute rug from West Elm. Which got me thinking about jute rugs. I love them, they can be totally hip and if styled up correctly, actually quite glam.

I love this one with a black border, black is always chic. I also like the linen border one too. The diamond patterned rug is majorly stylish and cool.

After seeing a few of those, I also searched for some more bold patterned rugs. I found a few with serious style, easy on the budget.

I love this Malia flat-weave in grey and beige, its so dark it almost looks black. It's very boho chic and under $400. I think this feather grey rug is very chic, it almost looks like an abstract art piece. This zebra rug would be a fun addition to any home or office, its also totally affordable at $269. Looks super plush.

Which one would you pink?
