I am so enamored with the abundant color in Mexico. Today, my walk took me through the center of Tulum where I came across some great finds through "color shopping". If you have never shopped by color, I highly recommend it! You will lose yourself in the colors that inspire you and discover your personal design palette along the way.
After reviewing my snapshots today, it is evident that I am drawn to a very bold, bright color palette of red, blue, and green hues.
This retro Corona tray would make a great kitchen accessory. The combination of red and aqua are one of my favorites in any design.
Handmade sketch books of all colors lined the shelves of this tienda. What a beautiful way to doodle!
These pendant light fixtures looked like elongated bottles. But, what really attracted me to them was the brilliant use of color in this exterior setting.
The Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) sculptures have always fascinated me. They have become a very popular kitschy design element.
I collect tea towels and love the different ways they can be sewn, screen printed, and embellished. These tea towels are hand embroidered and absolutely stunning!
These festive rattles for children are hand painted and made out of paper mache. So much
fun!
The hand crafted detail in these shadow boxes are exceptional. Each one is a three-dimensional miniature scene. The amount of time and thought that went into these small pieces of art is very impressive.
Shopping by color today was so much fun! New design elements abound!
