Prayer

Matthew 5:4

 

I just couldn’t blog today. My heart still aches from Friday’s tragedy in Connecticut.

My deepest condolences and prayers goes out the families, victims and people of Newtown.

Friday Find :: Monogram Jewelry Box

I’m always on the lookout for beautiful decorative boxes. They are a great way to store keepsakes and person items in style. I came across a sleek monogram jewelry box  in lacquer green the other day on Pinterest and just can’t seem to get it out of my mind! I love the initial clasp in gold. It’s a personal touch that’s so chic. It also comes in four colors to coordinate with any color palette.

It’s clearly been a popular item because most of the letters have sold out! Yet, the letter P is still available. Hmmm. Better grab mine now!

 

Happy Friday!

The “it” Color for 2013 :: Emerald Green

The hue most associated with nature, harmony and growth, is ramping up for a big year because last week Pantone announcement that Emerald Green (17-5641)  is the official color of 2013. The jewel-tone is quite a contrast from last year’s energizing, Tangerine Tango.

Emerald Green’s a beautiful hue for interiors and you can’t go wrong pairing it with blues, oranges and yellows. Incorporate this harmonious color in your home by adding an emerald textiles – upholstered chairs, area rugs or throw pillows. Use the color as an accent by painting dining chairs, a chest of drawers or the front door in this rejuvenating hue? – Benjamin Moore’s Emerald Isle is a close match.

“The human eye sees more green than any other color in the spectrum,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “As it has throughout history, multifaceted Emerald continues to sparkle and fascinate. Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today’s complex world. This powerful and universally appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors.”
