Sherwin Williams 2013 Color of the Year

 Sherwin Williams has announced the 2013 Color of the Year and it's.................Aloe  

Sherwin Williams Aloe #SW 6464

I love this color, it's so crisp and clean and it's a perfect color to embrace the new year with!!

It's the color I plan to use in my next home.  I've promised myself that my next home will be a tranquil space that will highlight my favorite colors of turquoise and beige, colors reminiscent of the beach. 

Here are a few photos of a home designed by Elizabeth Hague feature in Traditional Home that capture those color tones perfectly!  Don't you agree? 

A New Year

2013 is almost here and I must say that with the recent events of Sandy and Sandy Hook, I am happy to ring in a new year.  Words can't describe the sense of loss that accompanied both tragic events and I only hope that the new year brings peace, hope and comfort to all those affected.

Here's wishing everyone a happy, healthy and colorful year!
