Picking Colors……When your favorite color is White!!!!

It is now time to get serious about the colors of the cottage  called Maddies Beachside Cottage.The owners have left all decisions to me to select the color and fabrics and furniture. There is one large pecan tree on the property and shades and trees are always a consideration when selecting colors.

The ocean is 1/2 block away ( the "information hut" I designed for the city of Tybee) is close by

location! location! location!

 I had thought about bright and Happy colors…………………….

My colors

my newest color "beachy keen green"

or maybe a new mix of something  more goldish and flamingo coral

                                                      HOWEVER……..

My  personal favorite color is WHITE!!! I love it's simple calm unassuming nature…………...
