May: Razzle Dazzle
May 01, 2012
Welcome to the month of May. May is my favourite month of the year and I love spring, so I am dedicating one of my favourite colours to this beautiful fifth month of the year! “Everyone looks good in a pink room,” says Kelly Wearstler, the LA-based interior designer and I could not agree more.
March: Citrus Blast

I was really excited when preparing for our March colour of the month: Citrus Blast, as this beautiful and rich orangey-yellow by Benjamin Moore evoked a feeling of warmth and comfort in me.
Spring Greens
Feb 15, 2012
With the snow finally gone and the big freeze being over, I am now officially ready for spring. I even moved my chair closer to the window in my office this morning, in order to expose myself to the first rays of pre-spring sunshine this year. Wonderful!
February: Long Meadow
Feb 01, 2012
This lovely green colour, Long Meadow, our colour for February, gets me all excited and ready for spring.Long Meadow is actually a children’s room paint, by the US paint company Dutch Boy, that I came across when researching non-toxic paints for my children’s rooms. The refreshing, but warm undertones send my mind to enchanting, tranquil English gardens, gusty costal fronts with beach huts and mint choc chip ice cream.
January: Florida Pink
Jan 05, 2012
I have always loved this old-Florida inspired pink, which reminds of the Key West Victorian architecture, flamingos, peonies and everything bright and happy
