I am so happy to say that I have never considered stopping this blog, not even for a moment. So here's to many more years! I hope each and every one of you finds peace, health, and happiness this new year, and always.

Pantone Color of the Year 2017: Greenery

 

By now I'm sure you have all heard that Pantone's pick for color of the year 2017 is Greenery. I am a huge fan, always have been. Maybe I'd tone it down just a smidge for most residential projects. Here is the color as Pantone selected it:

I like it in its original best in commerical and hospitality applications, where bolder is almost always better. So today I am showing you my favorite uses in those industries. I hope you enjoy.

Thursday Favorites

I have posted this room before because I am so drawn to it every time I see it. I adore the color combination. I know a lot of people don't like chartreuse, but it has always been one of my favorites. I'm too chicken to wear it or to committ to it in a big way in decorating, but I still love it.

To Be, or Not to Be Daring? (Bold Interior Design)

There are some bold choices in these rooms, and I admire them all. For example, so many metallic surfaces in the top image, as well as the mix of metals. In the one below, the mix of patterns. I find that I am more daring the older I get, although most of these I wouldn't do in my own home (but I still respect them). What about you? Do you like to be daring in decorating? I'd love to know!
