So, I’m gearing up for BLUE 💙this week for a continuation of my #haciendachiccolortheory series. I gotta say, I’ve haven’t seen much better than Antonio Gaudí when it comes to mastering color! Any shade of blue and any use of tile pretty much win me over no matter what the application, but when it’s one of his masterpieces, I’m usually breathless. Take me back to Barcelona!!!

So I meant to move on to blue this week but yellow still has my heart 💛 and so does this lovely doorway in Historic Old Havana! + my phone is ringing off the hook with client needs .... everyone stuck at home = design lists and more design lists! PTL 🙌🏻 I am so grateful for God’s provision and just adore my clients! Keep up the good cheer mis amigos! We will all be okay! #godisnotquarantined

¡Dios mío! The Spanish know how to use color!

¡Dios mío! The Spanish know how to use color! Found this great pic from my trip years ago of an awesome historical gem in Sevilla! Just wow....that’s all I can say......perfect saturation in this yellow plaster. #haciendachiccolortheory #diosmio #yellow 🌼 ...the talent and vision of God-Breathed inspiration in them is stunning.

YELLOW 🌼: So fresh, so vibrant! I was in the mood to talk about yellow this week in my #haciendachichcolortheory series and I wondered why. So I started researching all things yellow and came across Sue Nelson, a Christian author, speaker and creative. I am loving her studies and thoughts on color in the Bible. She reminded me why I love yellow so much. It symbolizes Faith and God’s Glory….WOW….what’s not to love?!?!?

I was scrolling back through my pics from Barcelona and this detail from Gaudi’s Casa Vicens stopped me in my tracts....not only because I’ve been in a “green” mood this week, but because it got me thinking ....what God breathed talent this man’s work exudes. To create such beauty and execute it in his time, is truly fascinating. “What is not possible with man, is possible with God.” Luke 18:27 ...... #gaudi

I gotta say, I’m loving working on this series and it’s just begun. #haciendachiccolortheory coming in strong today with the first mood board for the series. Enjoy this green toned grouping for some #fridayfun and #designinspiration ...be sure to keep checking in here for more color collaboration. And keep holding on during this crazy season. We need not be afraid! God has got our backs…..He loves His creation, and I believe He will continue to provide for us! Joel 2:22 “Do not be afraid, you wild animals, for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.” #rejoiceinthelord

Loving all the old green doors from my visit to Old San Juan with @inmanstudios.co 💚 GREEN is so fresh and lively and I use it like a neutral. It can virtually be paired with anything. It’s certainly still looks fresh on this old Spanish gem. Psalm 92:14 reminds me that old things still bear fruit. “They will still bear fruit in old age, they will stay fresh and green…”

A little more on the color GREEN 🌵today! #haciendachiccolortheory What a stunning GREEN 🌵window accent against this vivid terra cotta wall. The accent is very life giving for the restoration of this old Spanish Beauty don’t ya think?!?! True to my new mission in seeking what God says about color I came across this scripture and I love the Message translation of Genesis 1:11 God spoke: “Earth, GREEN up! Grow all varieties of seed-bearing plants, Every sort of fruit-bearing tree.” And there it was. Earth produced GREEN seed-bearing plants, all varieties, And fruit-bearing trees of all sorts. God saw that it was good. It was evening, it was morning— Day Three.

Hey gang! I’ve taken a bit of a break and have been seeking the Lord for inspiration lately on what to share that’s meaningful and has more depth than the typical design post. He’s been leading me in a super fun direction and encouraging me to talk about color. Although you might not guess it by this over-tired grey and white phase, most designers love color. At least in my book, they should. So look forward to the coming weeks of #haciendachiccolortheory and join me in discovering how the Lord’s use of color inspires me creatively. Wanna guess what the first color mentioned in the Bible is? ...that would be GREEN 🌵…. Genesis 1:30 “And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every GREEN plant for food.” 🌵GREEN is life giving, and can be used in so many great ways to bring a fresh, lively feel to a room! Stay tuned for more inspo on GREEN 🌵this week!

Renovated Kitchen view of this Spanish Revival Project. Love the accents of wood we incorporated with the clean and bright whites. I’m not a fan of the recent obsession of white and “grey”...or “gray”, so keeping things warm when using pretty soft whites is key for my designs! 💃 #thisoldhouse

Man, I’m a sucker for a good ole Spanish Arch. And a vintage polychrome painted chandelier is like the cherry on top of this Spanish sundae. 💃

Big news in my “Hacienda Chic” life! I’m headed down to Havana, Cuba and San Juan, Puerto Rico this month to begin some projects right in my Spanish jam! I took a little break from posting after the holidays to rejuvenate and find fresh inspiration to share. So get ready for some honor to the history of Spanish Design and Architecture starting with this Spanish Colonial gem I love so much that we did for @tessaandlucindarealestate 💃
