Steal these ideas to highlight colorful groupings of objects in your home
A lipstick red wall sets off black-and-white family photos on a living room table. Handmade valentines dangle from a picture rail.
A rack of 24 test tubes is repurposed as a centerpiece.
The glass vials contain elegant lisianthus blooms and fragrant rose geranium leaves plucked from Cynthia Warren's garden.
Originally a pocket door, this headboard got a dreamy update with bright white paint decorative molding and delicate sconces that cast a soft light.
In the kitchen, citrus walls and white cabinetry add a nostalgic feel to neat groupings of colorful useful items. Salvaged metal drawers keep small wares accessible but out of view.

"Girly macho" is how Marc Duncan refers to Warren's graphic and playful juxtaposition of rusted vintage tools mounted on pink pegboard in her garage turned workshop.
