Mood Board :: Pantone's Margarita

This Texas weather is almost tricking me into thinking it's Spring {we wish}. So today's color board celebrates those sweet Spring months we long for. Number 6 in Pantone's Spring 2012 color trends  is this soft, minty green. Margarita is just like it sounds - a sweet, flirty color that makes you want to sit on a patio in your sundress and sip on... you got it, a margarita.

Trendy Tuesday :: Chalkboards

Chalkboard paint - it's all the rage these days. But lately, I'm seeing tons of uses for it other than your typical kitchen wall. It's a great storage / organization solution and you will also see it on furniture, used for entertaining, gift giving and in wedding decor. Here are some of my favorite chalkboard uses:

{Cheese Tray, Headboard, Bathroom}

{Refrigerator, Dresser, Cart}

{Wedding Program, Gifts, Placemats, Wine Number}

{Storage, Table Number, Organizing Kids}

Mood Board :: Pantone's Cabaret

Pantone's next Spring 2012 color is the vibrant hot pink, Cabaret. Cheerful, fun, and girly this board will no doubt make you smile & brighten your day. Pink lover or not, I think you will enjoy! 

My favorite picture on this board is the adorable pink print console with matching lampshades. The gray wallpaper behind it is so beyond lovely - I'm a huge sucker for gray!
