Emerald {green with envy}

Did you hear the news? Pantone announced that their colour for 2013 is Emerald. I have to admit, Emerald is not my favourite colour, but I do think it makes for a striking and often elegant statement so I think just maybe it just needs some time to grow on me...

What do you think of Emerald?

Wednesday Workspace {a refreshing palette}

I felt a sense of calm looking at this lovely and serene workspace, belonging to Sarah of Chevron + Stripes. I love the refreshing palette of muted blues and greens, which is perfectly balanced with subtle bursts of colour. I also love the For Like Ever print and am seriously considering buying it, I just need to work out where to put it ;)


What are you loving about Sarah's gorgeous workspace?

{Green With Envy}

Lately I have seen a 'green' trend floating around and I must say, I am quite taken by this colour. So many lovely shades all of which create a completely different feel to a space.

{olive green} is soft and feminine, creating a sense of 
calm and peacefulness.

Whereas {asparagus green} is rather stately and refined.

{jade green} on the other hand is bright, bold
and definitiely brilliant. 

Which green takes your fancy? 

I'm quite taken with asparagus green myself!
