To begin this post, I just had to share this little picture not only because the red lamp shade goes with the post subject, but I hadn't realized that Doogs was peeking around the corner at me. He is such a funny little guy. Oh, wait, he said, "Momma, I have a red collar!!"
There is something about the color red that draws me in,
even in the most subtle of ways.
It says, "Hey look at me!"
Just a little bit of color here and there,
or double doses of red double doors.
In the garden for a pop of color,
or the star attraction in a room.
A happy and jubilant color,
or the softer and aged palate of old barn reds.
Just a splash here and there.
Even little chickens sport some red.
Hopefully the little birdies will like it, too.

Hi Becky,
All your bits of red are so pretty, mostly I have red mixed with white (pink). I recently bought lots of red from an estate, of course everything had to be washed so while it was in the house it was a fun change!
JOY!
It's a pleasure reading your blog! And yes, I must agree RED is the color! I love red and it makes me happy. I guess that's why my kitchen is painted red. Anyways, thanks for sharing. Blessings, Victoria Lynn
It's amazing the lift a little 'red' can do

Hi Becky, the colors you use in your home are all colors I love and red keeps showing up in every room of my house too! Your home is gorgeous and I always love seeing the latest little touches that you add. And, of course, Doogs is such a little cutie peeking around corners and getting in all the pictures:>) It's always fun to visit here!

I totally agree with you about red.
It's like black . . . a little dose of it adds something to a room. I like pops or red, too.

Just want to cuddle them, too too cute! Doogs looks adorable, such the man about town he is, we just love him! Great post about red, it's such a great colour to accent with. Isn't a red front door supposed to be lucky?! Red is the perfect colour for Doogs and our two as well, looks fab with black and white fur! As always your home looks beautiful Becky, a credit to you and your beautiful eye :)

Becky I love the color red and I admire the way you use color...so pretty. Doogs should have a red collar...my Bully wears his red proudly.
Bec - never get tired of looking at your pictures! Love, Esther/FP
Seriously Becky do you go around your house everyday and make it cute and pretty? It is so amazingly adorable- I want to pack up and move in!!!
Dogs are such funny creatures! I love, love, love, red. It's my favorite color (if I have to choose one). I enjoyed all your "red".
