How To Use Barely There Color For A Dramatic Effect

 I think it is a mood thing and season thing for me.  

Some of you are totally neutral – and a few of you are on the little side.

Stone Gable always has stunning rooms and most of the time she uses just a touch of color to add that special touch to her rooms.

 The pillows and throws add just the right amount of color.  Take a look at the black and white zebra rug too.  That’s another touch of color.

Simple and elegant and never boring.

A splash of color doesn’t have to be loud, it can whisper and still be effective.
