Emerald Green: A “Lively. Radiant. Lush… A color of elegance and beauty
that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.” – Pantone®

The color “Emerald” is a lively sophisticated hue that reads positive and healing energy, it unifies other colors, like nature’s lush greens does. It is a sophisticated, luminous color which is why designers have used it for years for it’s classic and elegant striking hue. It introduces clarity and inspiration, perfect for an office space or rooms that will be utilized for long periods of time. The jewel-toned emerald color is universally appealing. To name a few, it’s used in home goods, to fashion, to automotive, to technology products.

I love “Color” so I’m excited about this Emerald green for next year’s 2013 {COLOR OF THE YEAR}

How to decorate a room using a bold color?

Tip: Start with an inspiration, it could be from an art piece, a rug, or even your favorite dress or shirt. Pick three colors [max] from your inspiration and build upon that to achieve a cohesive, simple and balanced look in your room scheme. Once you feel confident add more colors sparingly around your room using accessories etc. If you are not so savvy in choosing your paint colors, try using Benjamin Moore® They have loads of design ideas from decorative paints to how to choose the right color.

Happy Anniversary | One Year of Blogging

It has been one year this month I started blogging. I never thought in my wildest dreams I would be doing this. Me, nope, nada. And write a blog even less. But, while reading design blogs I realized how happy and passionate these bloggers where writing about what they love. I love design too! so I though to myself, self why not? How great would it be just to write (mind you, I am not a pro writer) about beautiful interior spaces and products that I love. So I did just that. I posted my first post. Great! Ah see that didn’t hurt. Then the next, and next. And then I realized copy write laws. Uh yes. You could say I stopped blogging and started researching and came across Design Sponge website. I found all the information (Biz Ladies section )I was looking for and highly recommend it to any person starting a design or any other blog. Needless to say, you’re the editor of a blog as soon as you hit the publish button and you need to know the rules.

This will be my 59 post for this year and having several dozen under my belt by far doesn’t make me a pro at this, but I can definitely say I have a little more confidence. I hope to inspire you this coming year as you all have inspired me. Thank You!

Here’s a little gold and sparkle to set the mood and inspiration for the new year Cheers!!

{Yay one year}
