PANTONE COLOR 2012

Pantone Color Institute has predicted what the color trend is going to be for the year 2012 ...and ....it is ....TANGERINE TANGO. This color, according to the Pantone Color Institute is an electric red. It is 'warm, uplifting, and energizing'.

Tangerine Tango has already made its way into fashion, accessories, and decor. Here are some examples:

I can't wait to see where else this great color will pop up next and what it might be paired with!

CLOSET ADDICTION

Happy Friday everyone! To bad Friday is now my new Monday...oh well, I can still wish you all a Happy Friday!

Now on to my closet addiction, which for most girls isn't so much a closet addiction as a way of life. I hate to admit it, but my closet addiction are stilettos! I wore them a lot maybe 6 years ago, but they started inconveniencing me, so I switched to flats (my favorites being converses!).

A girl can always dream and still love them from afar!

NEW LOGO

So I decided to change the logo for my etsy shop, Color Me Happy Boutique! I felt the old logo was kind of blah and hard to read. This is what the old logo looked like:

And this is what the new one looks like now:

I feel that this logo is happier, more whimsical, and fits what the shop is all about!

HAPPY WEEKEND!

Geez this week has flown by! Hope you have had a wonderful start to your weekend. Here is some inspiration while you guys are working on your designs and DIYing:

The stripes create so much life, energy, and color in the space which really makes the furniture stand up to the boldness of the wall. Enjoy your weekend!

GREEN WITH ENVY

I have still been working on redoing my living room, slowly but surely. I got a new job which has made the process even slower!

I decided that I wanted to inject some color into my space, but instead of doing it on the walls I was going to do it through some pieces of furniture and accessories. The ok was given by my boyfriend to paint his lamps that he has had since he first went to college. So I picked a color from my inspiration fabric and went to town spray painting them. I also went and bought new drum lamp shades since the originals were a yellowish cream color and no longer matched.

Here is a reminder of the inspiration fabrics:

NEW PRODUCT!

So I am still dabbling in my new found love of being crafty and since have started playing around with clothespins. I just think they can be a great alternative to picture frames or paper clips, and are something so small, but can add so much to decor or an occasion. This is my first color story of clothespins for my etsy shop. Hope you like and check back for more color stories!

MORE WREATHS

I wanted to share two more wreaths that I have created for my etsy shop. I am becoming more and more adventurous and creative with them! The more I make, the more I want to keep each new one for myself!

CURRENTLY IN LOVE WITH...

According to the calendar (and not the weather) spring is finally here! Even though where I live its still raining everyday, I saw little green flower buds starting to peak through the ground today.  These chairs by Anthropologie inspires spring and warmer days to come. They are so much fun and just happy looking.  I love how each chair is a different color and swirl, but apart of the same family.  These chairs would look so good around a simple colored table such as black or white and letting the chairs speak for themselves.
