Signature Pink and Green in Decorating

Love pink and green at the beach! Another great decorating idea from Coastal Living magazine.

Green, the color of peace, is tranquil and refreshing. Vibrant pink can have the same high energy as red but not as bold and can stimulate energy. Trina Turk has some fabulous embroidered pillow choices to bring this color palette into your seaside space.

These colors are reminiscent of the colorful designs of Lilly Pulitzer's iconic clothing collection. As history has it, Lilly opened a juice stand in Palm Beach with produce from the groves her husband's family owned. She found that the juice stained her clothing and decided to come up with a color pattern that would hide the stains. She asked her dressmaker to design a sleeveless shift dress made of bright colored cotton. Hence, her signature Classic Shift Dress was born. She ended up selling these dresses at her juice stand and gave up the juice stand to pursue her clothing line. These two colors together just bring her designs to mind and are still popular after all these years.
