I must admit, when I first started seeing the color mint pop up I was not a fan, but it has really started to grow on me. It’s so soft and refreshing…perfect for summer.

BAM! for Canopy Beds This week, let’s discuss polka dots in interiors. As many of you know, I love stripes! In my opinion, stripes one of my favorite ways to add a graphic punch to a space.

Recently, while searching pinterest I found a recipe for Avocado hummus…I think I may have to try that next time. This week, I was craving hummus and did not have any tahini. I remembered a [...]

The color mint was very popular in our house at one point. Some paint has chipped on the trim and doors and you can tell mint was a color at one point. While I don’t mind the color I don’t think I could handle mint colored trim and door colors. However this is the fun part living in an old house, learning about the history.

I’ve always been pretty obsessed with pale blue/robins egg so it’s not a far jump for me to go to mint. I love all of the inspiration pictures.

I feel the same way about mint–I haven’t always been a huge fan, but the color is really soothing. Recently I found a mint colored sofa at a yard sale for $150–great condition–and great structure–I absolutely love it.
Mint is not a color that I decorate with, but I find it very appealing to look at. I just ordered a mint sweater to wear from JCREW. I did a couple of post on this color if you need a little more of a mint fix you can go here

When it comes to choosing the colors to use for decoration, I am usually not the best. I have to say the mint looks just awesome to me. I couldn’t think of anything better. So beautiful.
