#Pantone Color of the Year #Radiant #Orchid

By now we all know that the Pantone Color of the Year is Radiant Orchid. I have seen this color used in various hues of light lilac all the way to deep plum. It's one of my favorite Color of the Year selections in a while, so I'm really excited to feature it in my Etsy shop!

The Radiant Orchid nesting bowls are among my favorite pieces. They pack quite the punch, yet are soft and feminine because of their fluted edges. it's a great use of contrast, too, with the stark white clay and purple paint.

In terms of wearable pieces, this painted stone ring is a great example of balance, contrast and line. The dark plum shade of Radiant Orchid grounds the pieces, while the white paint splashes across the surface to add visual interest.

I cannot wait to incorporate Pantone's Color of the Year more into my work. These tones are definitely in my Purpose collection for Urban Gallery, and I will be bringing them into pieces for my ready-to-ship line in my Etsy shop as well.

Spring Home Decor featured on #Etsy

On our cruise, I had the pleasure of reading the pages of the January issue of Vogue. It was incredibly inspiring and I am so excited for the new trends that will be gracing home decor and fashion this spring.

An inspirational message with a graphic tribal print, in fantastic tones for spring. I love this DO IT print from Indigo Rain. It would be perfect for a powder room or art studio.

Pastel pink, grey and white colorblocked pillow by Jillian Rene Decor. I love pretty much everything in her shop, and think that this pillow is perfect to breathe new life into your space for spring.

The equestrian trend is alive and strong this year, and we will see everything from horse bit styled rings to leather patches on elbows. This watercolor painting from Mallalu is stunning both in imagery and color.

I would be remiss not to choose something in a purple tone for this little collection, given that it is the Pantone color of the year. This ombre vase by Carriage Oak Cottage is stunning, and looks perfect with a bunch of dried lavender.

Nesting bowls are certainly a favorite of mine in my own shop, and I always love seeing how others interpret them. These delicate bowls are created out of paper, by Anthology on Main.
