-Ovid
Ovid may be correct that love can not be cured by herbs but a stagnant room and a hot summer day can be!
Today's color: Forest Shade (Pantone 15-6423)
Emotional
Quick
Private
Wearing and surrounding yourself with Forest Shade promotes growth and helps you let go of old ideas and patterns.
It's no secret that green is one of my favorite colors (who am I kidding I love color of all shades and hues!) but this particular shade of green is the perfect summer green-- it is the color of fresh herbs- not the ones cut at the grocery store but the color of the ones in your garden that are glowing with sunshine... it is a happy and whimsical green without being juvenile and it is the perfect pick me up to any room...
Bottle green glass bouncing sunshine and light around gives a nostalgic feeling when placed on display
I adore this shade of green for curtains- the way the sun shines through looks just like a fresh basil leaf!
When paired with crisp white in a geometric pattern it is the perfect preppy solution
No excuses- you can always bring this color into your room with something living
(kind of looks like she might kick that cat out the window!)
When paired with a darker, more saturated emerald green it helps liven up the space and not feel so serious
It absolutely pops with orange and has a very retro feel
But it isn't just rooms that this color can liven up...
use those herbs in your garden before the worst of the summer heat zaps them- herbs are a great accent to cocktails on a warm summer evening.
My favorite for the summer...
