Inspiration: Red Rocks

We went out of town this weekend to Denver to visit some good friends. Denver is one of those cities that you always hear good things about. And I am here to tell you that it was all true! We picked a gorgeous weekend to go, the sky was clear as a bell and the weather was in the mid 70’s. We spent some time running around and looking at the more natural side of Denver, because what the hubby and I really wanted to see was Mountains. One of our stops was at Red Rocks. It truly is one of the most amazing places in the world.

Red Rocks is a natural amphitheater that Mother Nature created out of two gigantic rocks. All of the best names in music have played there and done albums featuring the fantastic acoustics.

Given the great weather, I got some wonderful shots. I wanted to share the pics and the color inspirations. I have paired them with some great pics from another great site for inspiration Houzz.  Enjoy!

Never underestimate the power of a bright splash of blue against a natural background.

Making a statement with a tall stone structure is always a great way to get that WOW factor

The juxtaposition of a warm neutral with a light blue.  In this bathroom it is so calming.

I love the warmth and light this room exudes.
