Pink+Orange+Red = Cool Coral Shades for Spring and Summer





Melon is bringing a fresh slice of life to spring, showing up everywhere from dresses and jewelry to wall accents and fabrics. I’ve always loved the coral family, especially layering various hues from the spectrum – baby aspirin swimming alongside salmon, terracotta seasoned with spice. The names alone conjure all that is pure, soft, light and oh-so-femme. Here are some tasty seasonal offerings ripe for picking:
Mythic paints in shades of summer from the red and orange color palettes. All are non-toxic and delicious!

Oh, Luanne, if only you’d done this post last week. I just recovered my ottoman and it’s completely wrong. I thought I’d pick up the blues and greens and creams in my place, so I chose a fabric with those shades. Instead of matching subtly or better yet creating some drama, it just looks like awkward and harsh. Melons/oranges/pinks – maybe with a touch of turquoise somewhere in there – would have been perfect. *off to the fabric store…again!*
