Color Game : Summery Apples

The other day, my friend Connie texted me this photo of a beautiful box of apples. She and her grandsons had picked them in her Oregon yard and were headed in to make applesauce. You can almost smell their musty sweetness on a hot summer day. That got me thinking - these colors would make a really fresh color palette. Let's play my favorite color game and decorate an apple green and red house using Pinterest.

And the perfect back porch for this apple green and red house. Can you imagine that box of apples, still warm from the sun, sitting on the table until ready for cooking?

Here's to little applesauce chefs and their amazing grandmother. Thanks for the inspiration.
