Color Palette: Forest Floor

My guest designer this week is my nine year old daughter, Allie. She is a very thoughtful and creative soul. She is also a girl who loves the outdoors, like her mom. We looked to the forest floor to find color inspiration and we were not disappointed. These eight color palettes prove once again, that nature is the best place to find beautiful color schemes.
