In the Lime

Color is fun. Color is exciting. Color creates moods. Knowing a few things about color can be the key to creating a beautiful home!

I truly love the color lime and I wanted to do a post to show different examples of how the color is being used in todays interiors. Lime looks fresh and exciting when paired with
deep blues, teal blue, whites, hot pinks, and reds.

Wow, the rooms by Mary McDonald & Amanda Nisbet are beautiful! Aerin Lauders dressing-room is so feminine and chic, I love the gold chaise against the lime. Some of the combinations are so new I can even visualize an outfit in these colors. Great post!

Gina, Mary McDonald's dining room is stunning. I remember seeing this before and thinking that. And I love Aerin (sp) Lauder's dressing room. The Gracie paper is incredible. And that nursery is cute, too, with its York paper.

Like you, I love lime. For a special party, I had an outfit designed and made by Blair Woolverton in Jacksonville. The jacket is a teal, elbow length in linen, and the skirt is handpainted silk with greens, teals and peachy pinks (among other colors) in it. It almost has the look of a William Morris print, but more contemporary.

I loved looking at all of this...

I like the Mary McDonald rooms. I love it when striped wallpaper is hung horizontally.
