If you are working with it in a grouping.

You can do most of the blues with it, but then the aqua and turquoise of course.
The grays, creams, beiges work with it as well.
Gold and silver look great with it too.
I will have to think about the apple green with it.
That would add a fresh spring feel to the palette.

And you can do any style with it, modern, industrial, bo-ho.

I used to crochet, etc.

But I love to do decorate my house with interesting things.
I love to bargain shop and pull together different looks.
Interesting colors, shapes, groupings.

People complement me all the time and ask me who my stylist/decorator is.
Same with my clothing. Ha I am just a bargain basement type person.
You just have to have an eye for color, shape, design.

I am not an artist at all in any way.
When I was a young child I liked putting colors and objects together in a pretty way.
It is so much fun. I help friends and family stage their house or pull outfits together.
