coral





for some reason, this color isn't one that i use a lot but every time i see a picture w/ it, i fall in love. here is some inspiration of how wonderful coral looks mixed w/ color or as an accent. and to serve as a reminder to myself as a color that i would like to use in the near future.

  5. Those are the colors I did in my sons nursery...tangerine and a light blue. Such a cheerful combo! Hope you are hanging in there...how many weeks left?

  8. coral is one color, okay along with a few other colors, that I said I would never use. After seeing that bath in MS I may have changed my mind. We have that wall color and I rather love the coral with it.

  15. Adore coral, but I too don't really use it in my home...maybe I should change that? It really is perfectly lovely for spring/summer.

  25. I'm finding myself more drawn to this colour lately, even though those memories of peach/teal from the 80's is still pretty vivid in my mind! : )

  26. I feel the same - I've been on a huge coral kick lately (and gathering images for a post too). So pretty & inspiring!!

  27. I love coral lately, especially with turquoise as shown in your first photo. In fact, I made a coral colored curtain for my kitchen & purchased a rug in almost the same color for the kitchen as well. Along with my Tiffany blue KitchenAid mixer & hand towels, it's quite a cute look!

  29. Growing up, my best friends home was everthing I wanted - a coral kitchen, a southern dining room with a massive side-board for serving filet and henry bane sauce and cucumber salad....a living room with bargello needlepointed wing-back chairs. (all done by her Mom, Anne)
