Color Trends 2011




Pantone annouces their color of the year for 2011-- HoneysucklePANTONE 18-2120; Wins 2011 COLOR OF THE YEAR! Congratulations Honeysuckle.
Reddish Pink sets the tone for color trends 2011.


Pantone announced that Honeysuckle is  the new Turquoise. Pantone 15-5519-Turquoise, last year's reigning color of 2010, has passed the crown to this year's new leading lady, Honeysuckle.                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Honeysuckle GnatsNow I must admit, when I saw this color was in the pink family I was a little surprised because I have always thought of honesuckle as yellow. After a little research it turns out my expertise is limited to what I have come to know in my region. 

Turquoise represented 2010 well with a color that evoked ESCAPE and a way to get away from it all. But move over escape because this stunning Honeysuckle pink is confident and brave. A vivacious tone of reddish pink ready to get noticed and the confidence to pull it off.

Honeysuckle won 2011 color of the year because it is not biased. This beautiful shade of pink looks good on both men and women and works well, day into night.

Feminine but bold.
Color trends 2011 reflects the shift we have seen in the political arena as well with women running for president and taking charge of the higher offices.                                                            

You will probably see this color throughout design and fashion this year in various shades of the color as designers incorporate it into their goods.

Look for salmon, reddish pinks, and orangy pinks to pop up in clothing and home accessories. Have you noticed Dr. Phil's attire this season? Honeysuckle leans to the feminine side but with a dynamic attitude so it will make a statement but in a calm manner.

Easter Eggs - Cracking The Code On Design


Image by:erix                                                        
Easter Morning
Easter Eggs
Inspiration comes in all facets of life. Today I want you to look at everyday objects as a way to get inspired about a design idea for a new look in your home.

Easter eggs come in multitude of colors. Mainly, pastels have come to symbolize the colors of spring and Easter. The main goal with Easter eggs is to dye them or add color. Whether their pastel or multi-colored. So were going to use Easter eggs to crack the code on color and design.

A Lesson In Color and Design
Look through these images and see if you can find colors of objects in them that speak Easter to you. They are just objects, it doesn't matter what is in the pictures, you're picking out the colors in them.

When you do this exercise you will then have a tool that you can use to decorate a room or a table or add to your wardrobe. Once you decide on a color idea just shop for that color. Don't get hung up on looking for a particular item, just look for that color(s). The world will open up to you in ideas and objects you would never have dreamed of using.

Let us know how your shopping trip worked out. I expect it will be EGG-straordinary!  Leave us a comment below.
