{Colour Love #3} Pretty Pastels

Before Pinterest I used to stick clippings of images I liked in a scrap book of sorts. (Post pinterest, I still intend to do this, but just haven’t in a while.)

The above images are the pages from my scrapbook that I compiled while pregnant with Isabelle. I was searching for colours I liked for her quilt.

I really love a dusky/ soft rose pink, pale green (I think ‘pistachio green’ as a great description),and cream/ white for a little girls room. As one of the magazine clippings above says, these colours can last a while… from a baby- pre-teen (and possibly beyond.)Whereas, in my opinion, brightly coloured lolly pink and Dora the explorer may not.

I also used a bit of duck egg blue in Isabelle’s room.

Here are a few images of Isabelle’s room and the things in it…

I hope to pop back soon with a mini-post with a pastel collage I created on Polyvore. (Apparently it posts directly to your blog – but as it’s my first time using it, there may be some ‘technical difficulties.’)

Hope you all have had a fabulous weekend
