Next in our oh-so exciting series dedicated to color… Honeysuckle! Perplexed? So wasn’t I. Although Honeysuckle is quite the juicy hue, I wasn’t quite sure what it looked like until I saw an example.

Named as the Pantone 2011 Color of the Year, Honeysuckle “emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life.”

In what will be an exciting series dedicated to color, I have decided to start you off with one of my absolute favorites: Green.

Green is known to represent hope, growth, luck, nature, fertility, rebirth, peace, balance, luxury, prosperity, vitality, abundance, and more. From yellow-green to blue-green, there are more variations of green than any other color in the world. Green has become associated with environmentalism, and is considered to be Nature’s perfect neutral. Enjoy!

I dare you to say “Pesky problem rooms are the perfect referral” five times fast

Last week my ever-so-talented painter friend mentioned tackling a pesky problem room before his inlaws came to visit. With the holidays quickly approaching, pesky problem rooms make for the perfect referral for me as well!

Perhaps the living room is showing signs of too much wear, the dining room is a diaster, the guest room is looking less than hospitable, and the bathroom - well the bathroom is just bad. You know who to call!

By the way … how is that tongue twister coming along?

Spring is just around the corner — and not a moment too soon. After another dreary New England winter, I have a serious craving for color. Delicate and subtle shades are all well and good, but right now I want bold, delicious, breath-taking color. Below are a few designs to help shake those winter blues. Enjoy!
