Honeysuckle ~ Pantone 2011 Color of the Year
Stop the show! Pantone just announced Honeysuckle as the 2011 Color of the Year.
As you can see in my watercolor paintings, it is one of my favorites. Here are some decorating ideas for your room when choosing Honeysuckle for your paint color.
“In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color red, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum.”

Decorating Ideas: Paint Colors
The color paint you choose when decorating sets the mood for the room. If you want to be daring, I love a dark gray for the bedroom paint color. Grays are soothing, and calming... a perfect atmosphere to unwind from the day.
A cozy warm red makes you feel right at home...
a wonderful color for your gathering place.
Decorate with a neutral color palette for a fresh and open feel. I love this beach house with the lightly washed wood walls.
My favorite color this year is Spring Mint by Benjamin Moore, which is the color of my art studio. It is cheerful, inviting, and very inspirational!

IKEA meets Pottery Barn
Here is a peek into the girls' rooms in the third floor renovation. They went with a vibrant and bright lime green color called Spring Meadow Green from Benjamin Moore paints. The twin beds are IKEA as well as the adorable bedside table. The colorful quilts and shams are Naomi from Pottery Barn Teen.
The IKEA Jules swivel chair is awesome.
Yes, they went with the same color which creates a nice flow throughout. This is the second bedroom with the IKEA double bed and the beautiful quilt and shams are Graphic Pop from Pottery Barn Teen.
I love this quiet spot for reading or studying.
