Happy New Year, Gentle Readers! A hearty ta-ta to 2020! Good riddance!
Over the holiday break, my mind kept wandering back to Pantone’s Colors of the Year for 2021. So disappointing. If *I* were to name a color of the year for 2021, it would be green.
Aside from the obvious associations for this particular year — fresh start, new beginnings, etc. — I’ve been obsessed with green recently. We’re currently working on a GORGEOUS family room for a long-time client, and the walls are a kelly green grasscloth. I mean: it is going to be FABULOUS.
I find myself wanting more green in my life — craving the freshness, wanting the brightness, marveling at the millions and millions of shades of green in the world. From yellow-based to blue-based…olive, kiwi, grass, spring, almost-but-not-quite-teal…so many.
When I told my daughters I was considering green as a blog topic, they squealed in delight, grabbing their phones (actually, just raising their phones, because they were already in hand), and in moments, showed me a picture of Dakota Johnson’s green kitchen:
And Kendall Jenner’s green bathroom:
(THAT was a fun little exchange: Which Kardashian is she, I asked? – Kendall’s the supermodel, and it’s Jenner, actually. – Not the one with the makeup company? – Well, she has one, but you’re thinking of Kim and KKW cosmetics. – Please tell me she doesn’t spell cosmetics with a K. – She doesn’t. – Well, phew! – [Eye roll.])
Here are some Annie Elliott Design’s forays into the land of green.
You know, after writing this post, I’m going to go so far as to say that green has supplanted yellow as my favorite color. Big news!
Give green some thought for 2021, won’t you? Let me know if you need help ;)
