Brighten up your life with COLOR!
What is your favorite home color?
As a Hispanic, I am loud, not just verbally, but also with the choice of colors I like to wear.
It is no coincidence that fruit from the tropics tends to fall in line with the bright and loud colors, and intense unique flavors, mangos, papayas, mamey, passion fruit, pineapples, dragon fruit...just to name a few.... Did you know that most of the famous and widely consumed hot peppers also come from this region? Jalapeños, poblanos, habaneros, and cayenne peppers come from South and Central America. The cacao used to make chocolate also comes from South and Central America. Color, intensity, flavor....I think of all of these when I tour a home!
The color of the pacific ocean, that intense aqua right before the deepest shade of blue-green...Color appeals to us!
We sold our home in Miami and relocated to Southwest Florida. We rented while getting ready to buy. The most awful thing for me, working from home, was to be surrounded by a SAD shade of gray, outside and inside, the lack of imagination characteristic to Progress Residential homes is to paint all homes that boring shade of gray....sadness all day long, staring at those gray walls! Aaaagh!
Our own home today has beautiful shades of Hollywood-beach blue in the living room, a light mango-shade in the kitchen and a 'melocotón'/peach in the bedroom, with blue and teal bathrooms. I am still undecided what color to use for the laundry room....tilted towards Papaya-orange...what do you think? The artist who painted our walls should have signed some of the walls...Pedro Aguado, no one else is so meticulous about perfect color saturation....unbelievably gorgeous!!! If I was an alien and did not know the walls are not edible, I would probably bite them!
