What do you do when you find something that inspires the crap out of you? An inspiration piece is the foundation to a great room design. I love inspiration pieces that are unique and funky and a little out there (just like me!!)
My Colortopia has one of the most helpful features ever. Do you guys remember the post that I did in December their super fun color personality test? Well today I am going to show you something even more amazing!!
Check out this killer image that I found on Pinterest. Its SOUTHWEST! And I love it.

One of the things that people have a really hard time with is choosing a color palette that works with an inspiration piece without being to matchy matchy. You know what I am saying right? My Colortopia has the COOLEST solution to your color situation. With their My Image Inspiration Tool all you have to do is upload an image of your inspiration piece and like magic it shows you 3 color choices. When you click on one of them it goes into a deeper palette that you can print out so you know the exact names of the colors you need!
I LOVE the first 2 palettes to go with my rug. Isnt this fun?!
It is so helpful because it gives you a different point of view from an expert. When I go in for a gray color sample I leave with every single shade of gray…twice. (Do you ever pick up duplicates? Cause I TOTALLY do.) But look how perfect the gray in the second palette is!
Make sure you check out the My Colortopia site and all of the amazing inspiration from your fave bloggers, if you are like me you will spend WAY more time than you should testing out all of your fun pieces.
I am off to finish painting Dylan’s bedroom eeeeeeeeeeeeee!! I cant wait to have it done!
I have partnered with Glidden/Akzo Nobel Paints to share this website with my readers. All opinions are authentic and my own.
Love that rug! It looks like an iphone cover a lot of bloggers have. 😀 Love those native american prints and patterns… SO much!!
So, I’ve been waiting to see when you’ll be on Nate Berkus but with my move (to st george!) I may have missed it… Please tell me I didn’t miss it!

That could be a very helpful tool! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Where is this as a rug because I found this print awhile back through Urban Outfitter’s Print Shop. It’s actually a print for laptops, iphones, or as an actual print to be framed. Please share with us where you can find this a rug. 🙂
So I am not awesome. I just assumed it was a rug…though I have no way of knowing because the image was uploaded by the user. But I think that you guys are all right!
ah, infamous pinterest 🙂 yeah, it’s totally a print, BUT it would be super fabalicious if it were a rug, right?!?

Your timing is amazing- I was on the behr paint site and their upload does NOT work well, this one is much better. I was so frustrated, so thank you, this is a great
another great site for this is by sherwin williams. http://www.letschipit.com. you just upload the app to your favourites bar, then click on it when you want an image to be “paletted” (that’s not a word, i’m sure)…it gives you 5 choices from their paint line. pretty amazing!
This is the perfect time for this post! I just found the most inspirational piece for my front room and have been trying to decide a color scheme around it.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this!
