Rio

Have you seen the movie "Rio" yet?  If you don't have kids, you probably haven't...but, I recommend you do anyway.  It is hilarious, has a great cast and soundtrack.  Oh, and the movie is beyond adorable.

Anyhoo, where I am going with this? COLOR!  I am not taking about some pastel, or splashes of color.  I am taking about the bright, bold, beautiful, saturated colors you can find everywhere in Rio de Janeiro. You know, like a rainbow or bag of skittles exploded or something. As I was watching the movie with my boys (and laughing my face off...it really is funny), I was in awe by all the bright colors and it immediately made me want to be there...in Rio, during Carnival. How fabulous would that be?!  Boo-ya.

In honor of this adorable movie, and all the fantastic color that Carnival {and Rio} is so famous for, I was totally inspired by these bright and bold interiors.  I hope you have a great Wednesday! XoX

These are so cheery. Love the colors. Regarding the movie-did it have any parts that might be scary for a little one? Last summer I tried taking S to go see a kids movie, and it was too much for him. I had to leave after 15 minutes because he was begging to leave.

Wowzers! That 'pink palace' is sure somethin- not sure if I'd EVER be that bold ;)

My fav is the green with splashes of yellow and white room!

Toodles,
