How About a Little Green at the Beach?

Green is often used in decorating for its calming effect . . . think about tv guests waiting in the "green room". Green is thought to relieve stress and bring tranquility. It is a great color to use in design as we are so used to seeing it everywhere in nature. Green is used worldwide to represent safety, not to mention the symbolic color of St. Patrick's Day. I love pink and green together . . . think Lily Pulitzer or Vineyard Vines. Let's see it relieves stress, brings tranquilty, reminds us of nature, represents safety . . . time to add some more green accents to my space! You can always count on Trina Turk for some wonderful colors and great fabrics!

Vibrant Orange

The color orange is a vibrant shade radiating warmth, energy and the sun. It's the color between the heat of the summer and the cold of the winter. I am reminded of this as I walk my golden retriever, Sadie, noticing how few leaves are left on the trees here in NJ. We walk by piles of orange leaves raked into small mountains. The shades of orange signify the changing seasons here in the Northeast. American Indians associate the color orange with kinship, while in China and Japan it symbolizes love and happiness. We have put together a few of our favorite orange pillows from By the Sea Decor. Square Feathers has a collection of down filled super-plush accent pillows in tropcial shades of orange and green. Trina Turk has put her amazing stamp on the orange starburst pillow and the orange Palm Springs pillow. An orange seahorse hook pillow will add a whimsical touch to your coastal decor. A great color choice, orange combines the energy of red, toned down with sunny yellow!
