Autumn is here! As the air grows cooler, nature's colors will get warmer. I love this time of year and I always look forward to seeing a showy display of firey reds, oranges and yellows. However, if you're one of those people who is sad to see summer go, this ideabook is for you. Hang on to summer with water colors that echo warm-weather fun at the beach, lake and swimming pool. With these gorgeous blues, greens, and in-betweens, you'll get the feeling of summer all year long.

I actually have glass tile and paint color to match in the Cerulean family in my kitchen with gray granite "like" counters and it's ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! My kitchen is nice and peaceful and I love that I have framed pictures from our West Indies vacation that go perfect in there!!!! To the people that use Rainwashed as their color.....Aouthern Living used it in a incredible showhouse here on Daniel Island, SC with chocolate browns and creams and it was GORGEOUS!!!!!

These are my favorite types of blues and greens -- very soft and refreshing!

@dancingfish - I used Aqueduct for a client's condo and it turned out gorgeous!

@juliehall29 - you get the fish at rsh catalog: http://www.rshcatalog.com/product/Malibu-Fish-Plates-Set-of-13/Wall_Decor
