These images from Kontor Kontur make me want to organize my entire house by color. Okay. Maybe just a drawer or two.

The Intersection of Design & Motherhood
Welcome
My name is Gabrielle Blair. I'm a designer and mother of six. We're currently living in a farmhouse in the French countryside. It is dreamy as can be. I post on where design and motherhood intersect.

Catch the Travel Bug!
We've used our base in France to do lots of traveling. It's addictive! Here are some of our adventures:
A trip to Amsterdam.
Canoeing on the Dordogne River.
A Belgian Waffle Tour.
A wintery visit to Cologne.
Three cheers for Barcelona!
The tulip fields in Holland.
We saw the final match of the French Open.
One of our favorite spots is Mont St. Michel.
I wonder where we'll wander next! To see more of our travels, click here.

I LOVE this! I was planning on creating a rolling set of drawers like this to share with my soon-to-be two-year-old.
What a beautiful spread! Monochromatic love!
You inspired me to organize my library by color and my husband’s comments about once a week about how much he likes it. He thinks it “feels more clean and organized.”
Love it. I’ve been wanting to colour coordinate my bookshelf for ages.
Oh my goodness. I want that black set!
LOVE. And thanks for the shove. I need to get back to sorting my fabric stash (by color of course)!
I love all things that help me organize! The monochromatic look makes it so fun and modern, love it!
My extremely organized friend’s three year old daughter once reorganized her mom’s bookcase by color. It had been in alphabetical order. I think it was a logical choice. Go for it.
this would be so cool, as long as the colors are “sea foam” and “brilliant yellow” (like in your photos) and not “fingerprint” and “baby skutt (which is the color of anything that comes from a baby, ie. Drool, vomit, etc.)”.
Time for a little spring cleaning, I guess.
Gorgeous!! Skipping right over to Pinterest to slap these up on my “Work Fabulous” board, totally want to color-block my entire life now.
Hi Gabrielle!
