Colorful Finds for a Rainy Monday

It's a chilly (yay!) and rainy (boo!) Monday here in NYC, so I thought I'd share some bright and colorful finds to hopefully bring some cheer to everyone's day.

How cheerful and sweet is this window with sky blue brick and cherry red flowers in the window box!?

Do you read Color Me Katie?  If you don't, you should.  Her blog will cheer you up in two seconds flat. She is the epitome of colorful!  How can you NOT be perked up immediately by a blog that contains images such as this:

I'd love to visit Brussels, Belgium one day and stay at the Pantone Hotel.

Courtesy of their website:
"Travel to a Colorific World -
The Pantone Hotel invites you to experience the city of Brussels through a lens of color and a spectrum of comforts. From the moment you arrive, our “hotel of colors” will awaken your senses to an array of delights and playful surprises.

Impeccably designed by Michel Penneman and Oliver Hannaert, The Pantone Hotel, Brussels showcases the color of emotion with a distinctive hue on each colorous guest floor. From vivid to subdued, for business or leisure, our unique boutique hotel perfectly suits your savvy palette and colorful imagination.

From a design perspective, The Pantone Hotel, Brussels is built on an exceptional use of contrast; a white canvas provides clean space for saturated colors to pop. Guest rooms feature unique photography by esteemed Belgian photographer Victor Levy.

Welcome to the center of the color universe."


(Also, all rooms feature "Pantone Universe Shower Gels and Lotions"!)

If you aren't a nerd like me and don't know what Pantone is, learn here.
