Color Of The Year 2012: Tangerine Tango

Back in early December Pantone declared Tangerine Tango #17-1463 their color of the year for 2012. Representative of the energy boost we need to forge ahead this fiery hue does just that. Now I am certainly not suggesting that you paint your entire room this bold shade but consider using it as an accent wall, or if that is too much use it in throw pillows, a rug, table linens, art, accessories, or appliances. Pantone – PANTONE Color, products and guides for accurate color communication.

Blue and orange are complimentary colors and work so well here to make a charming and cheerful nursery from DwellStudio | SKYLINE LT. BLUE CRIB SET – For Boys – Baby.

And for the grown ups….

This is a HUGE color commitment as not only have they painted the walls but the ceiling as well! I do love the mirrored effect of the high gloss though.

The blue sofa and side lamp help compliment the bright walls.

Bunk Room

I am a city girl. I grew up in Manhattan and I plan on living here forever. However, sometimes I dream about moving out of my small apartment into a spacious house just so I can have a bunk room. Just think how much fun the kids would have on a sleepover! Here are just a few of my favorites…

A Wall They Can Draw On

You love the fact that you have a budding artist in your family, you loathe the fact that your little one draws on your walls! Well, give them a wall they CAN draw on. Use chalkboard paint to transform a boring wall into a canvas for your little Picasso.

Make Your Mark With A Monogram

I love anything monogrammed so I was thrilled to see that Pottery Barn Teen is now making a less expensive version of my favorite monogrammed pillows from Jonathan Adler.

Afraid Of Color?

In theory, you like the idea of a room with color. In reality, you’re not sure. So how can you get the wow factor without the regret? Paint the back of your bookcase. Pick a bright color since you want it to really pop. Don’t worry, most of the color will be obscured by books, tchotchkes and pictures.
