APRIL 2018

As a person with green eyes I have spent most of my life with a strong aversion to the color. I would often see green clothing items or home goods and walk the other way.

 

As I have gotten older I have found it to be one of my favorite colors. I love the muted army green tones or the deep jeweled hues. I know that pantone might have made the color of the year purple but I’m all about green these days.

The idea of taking the color green and using the different shades to create a fresh and intimate palette was intriguing to me. I was originally inspired by the botanical trend. I put together some inspiring images and a couple of simple wallpapers while dreaming of a tropical vacation and a new wardrobe.

November 2017 Mood Board
