Its in the details...

I hope you have had a chance to visit my Color Inspiration boards either here on my website or on Pinterest?  I am so motivated and moved by color.  I am enjoying the process of putting these color inspirations together.  What I wasn't expecting was how it would transform my perspective on how I view the environment around me.

Over the weekend, I kept books for my son's basketball game. During one of the timeouts, I looked down at the bench holding me off the floor, I was instantly mesmerized by the texture and details of this old bench.  It was clear this bench had seen a few coats of paint and endured many sporting events.  I began to study the colors in the wood, the backdrop of the gym floor, and the layers of paint.  It was a beautiful combination of color.

You know that saying, "Take time to smell the roses"?  I love the sentiment of that Proverb.  We need to slow down and soak up the world around us, there is so much to see and admire... even an old wooden gym bench.
