Happy Spring friends! The stream of beautiful weather we have been having here on the East coast has really given me Spring fever. This time of year gives me a great excuse to shop for new colorful wardrobe pieces. Speaking of colors I have been searching high and low for Spring/Summer 2012 paint trends. Those of you who read my blog regularly know I am a HUGE fan of all things Pottery Barn. The love doesn't stop with their furniture, accessories and linens. Benjamin Moore has a line of PB Paint Colors! One of my favorite colors is turquoise which is why I am naturally drawn to their amazing Woodlawn Blue (pictured below) and the colors that compliment it. If you are unsure of what colors look best in the rooms of your home you should check out Donna Frasca's Blog here on choosing colors for your home.

People often ask me where I get inspiration for certain decorating projects or crafty things I sometimes put together and the answer is simple, everyday life. The color combination I chose above came from a recent shopping spree at the Clinton Shopping Outlets . I needed an outfit for work and the colors that are trending right now are very earthy with a pop of springtime color. Here is the outfit I put together...
Here are some rooms using the colors I am featuring so you get a better sense of what they look like in on large surfaces...
So you can see above these colors can be used together as you can see in photo one featuring the Oat Straw on the walls, the blue shutter accents, the decorators white couch and so on. Or, they can be used separately as you can see in pictures 2-4. Would you consider using any of these colors?
love the colors !! thanks for sharing!
