Turquoise: Color of the Year!

The buzz is out on the internet- the winner of Pantone's color of the year is Turquoise (Pantone 15-5519 to be exact.) Oooo, I'm so excited. I just love a good turquoise...


Turquoise can be paired with so many different colors and look great! At the top are some bright turquoise palettes, sure to inspire-- great for Spring and Summer. Add some chocolate brown, and creamy vanilla, and you've got a beautiful serene winter palette!

A few weeks ago, I signed up to be one of the bloggers for an etsy team I'm a part of... the sfetsy blog. I'm writing a weekly post called, "Treasury Tuesdays" where I feature San Francisco etsy artists work based on a theme. This weeks theme was Turquoise, be sure to check it out!

Bright Bold Summer Time!

Don't adjust your monitor! These colors may vibrate... but aren't they great??!!
While killing some time at the mall the other month, I stopped into Crate and Barrel. They had these colors splattered throughout the store. Oooo, I just love them, I had to take pictures for inspiration!

Lime green is one of my favorites, especially with orange.
Wouldn't these bowls brighten up any mixing job!


Then add magenta with the orange and green, and WOW...
it's fiesta time... summer time, just time to be outside enjoying life.


So, don't be surprised if you see more bnute production stuff come out with this palette. I just can't seem to get enough of orange, magenta, lime green and a hint of turquoise!

Enjoy your day!

Spring Colors Everywhere

Spring has sprung in Northern California! The trees, the flowers, the warmer days. On my walks, I just can't get enough of the colors. They are so amazing and vibrant. The palette from the spring blooms above is just waiting for a project-- I'm thinking of designing a little girl's tea party in these colors. What do you think?

Enjoy the season!
