Flaunt Your Red Proudly

Today we’re celebrating Flaunt Your Red, hosted by Stacey at Poofing The Pillows.

Abi loves to be photographed. On Mom’s red and beige quilt. On a couch just below another wall quilt of the same colors.

You certainly don’t have to look far to find red in my house. I adore the color red. I find it the most cheerful of colors. And I also have a quote that says “Red is a neutral” by Freddie Moran.

I liked this quote so much I put it on one of my file folders. In my red dish drainer.

A red table in the bedroom where I keep magazines I haven’t yet read. This Newsweek magazine has a very angry-looking fellow on it with a red banner at the top. I think he’s a little “red” with indignation over something or other!

And my red Adirondack rocker outside. Which, as you can see, needs a new coat of red paint.

  17. Oh, what wonderful redness!

    I am particularly in love with your red quilts and that little cutie who likes to pose on them.

    Red is definitely a neutral! ;-)

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

  18. Hi Brenda
    I just found your blog and I just love it! I love the colors you use and the way you decorate. Your reds are spectacular! Imagine my surprise as I was scrolling through some of your posts when I spotted the little red bird pincushion I had sold on etsy! Why did I not know about your blog before? I plan to grab a cup of coffee this weekend and read as much as possible:>)

  19. Love you quilts and I can see why your little puppy does too.
    Enjoyed the tour around your world and I also am enjoying my first time at this RED party.

  21. Lots of red pretties! Your quilts are quite lovely and from the look of things comfy too (O:

  22. What awesome reds you’re sharing today! I love those quilts, love them more because of that sweet furbaby Abi :0)
    Those cherries in the jar and the red edged dishtowel are totally fantastic!

  23. I love that last picture of the chair – my red bench is now a lovely shade of salmon because of sun fading.

  24. I love all the vintagey red items in your home, but it was Abi that stole my heart. Have a nice weekend! Twyla

  25. Brenda, I love both of your blogs. The interior and gardens are really lovely. Oh, and by the way, I am so stealing, I mean borrowing your idea about the dish drainer to hold files, except I’m going to use the one my mom had when we were growing up. It’s yellow and rusty and I’m so glad I didn’t get rid of it when I bought my new red one for the sink.

  29. Red is such a great summer color – and I love the dish towell with the ruffle. Thanks for visiting my blog!

I agree about it being neutral:-) My kitchen wall attests to the fact! I loved your quilts as usual and also the idea of the use of your dish drainer. I am going out to find me one to use! Thanks for your sweet comments and welcome home!

  35. Brenda, using the dish drainer as a desk organizer is brilliant! I might be stealing that idea…thanks for the fun post.

  36. Beautiful red! I want a red quilt like yours!! So pretty!Love all that red ribbon – great reds!

    Manuela

  37. Brenda, I love love love all of your reds!!! With all of the complementary colors, it just pops and says “Welcome.” I wish I had kept our little red flyer wagon, but sadly, it went away with a lot of the other toys… But I saw a cool green John Deere one in an old fashioned toy store last week. hmmm… wonder what Mr. Sullivan would think of that? Hugs, Sue

  38. Red as neutral. I love that. And that Adirondack!

  39. It is all gorgeous!! I love red. I have no idea how I lived so long without reds taking center stag in our home but now they do and I love it!
    Your home is so gosh darned delightful! It is pretty and warm and filled with fun!

    Love,
    sue
