thank God for neurals part 2:

part two of the neutral-love post is very small
but so very beautiful.

here's my new revelation:

flat neutral is ok.
textured neutral is where the action happens.
that's where something like poetry starts to form in my head
and i have to fight to keep from grabbing a pen and paper
because the poem would end up cheesy
and completely nutso.

but that's how i feel
so instead

so i race over to my poor, overused laptop
log into my blog account
and throw up a picture
and i write a little ditto
and my poem becomes a short, shared declaration
and i'm settled again.

and waiting patiently for your words on the matter:)

positive pointing #40: thank God for neutrals

neutrals are killing me right now.
I'm not sure if i'm becoming a boring adult (yikes! am i?)
or just simply a sophisticated lady (hot pink? no way!!)
or perhaps I'm being swept along with the general consensus
and have no mind of my own at all.

regardless,

I'm in love with beige like never before.
I'm over the moon about grey.
gloomy? no no. a hushed beauty? yes.
White is taking over almost all the space in my design projects.
(negative space is my new darling. it's fascinating.)

rich and soft browns & the palest shades of yellow

but everyday i become more curious:
is this Kyrie becoming boring? It this how it happens? You just give yourself over to white walls and brown couches? And you think it's the best and perfect. and it's actually not. all you've actually done is do what everyone else has done. Is this how all that happens? People just, one day, get tired of color and discover neutrals and they fall in love with them

and with fences
and formulas
and frying pans
and ordering the same thing every time

is loving beige just taking me one step closer
to getting the same trim from the same hair stylist
every three months for the next seven years (at which the hair stylist will retire and i'll be forced to change. and be unwilling about it. and hesitant.) ?

ps. ok, so i'm not dying for the black and white slippers.

yellow then, yellow now
