Rustic Southwest Colors & Lighting

On chilly days after the day job, it's tempting to eat out. Where else but Jose's, my other half's favorite Mexican food restaurant? Yes, we rose to the temptation yesterday. This Jose's recently changed their decor, and I just love the clay tile roof they used above the booths. They painted the walls with different complementing hues, a popular southwest style also used in homes. My friend has adopted this style for her home, though she chose soft colors. She is a superb painter, keeping those lines and corners perfectly even and straight. When my Mediterranean cottage beauty is finally built, I think I must keep her in mind for my painting needs. For you rustic lovers, here are some photos of Jose's from last evening. You never know, something might get your brain whirling with rustic ideas to use.

Have a wonderful day, my friend. Come back soon. I'd love to hear from you.
