The perfect summer color.


A few of my favorite shots of one of my favorite colors. I have a few teal accents dotted around my home - notably the birdcage - but I'm loving the idea of painting a room this fresh summery color. Maybe my office. Thoughts?

I think that first picture of the house facade might be the prettiest color combo for an exterior I have ever seen. SO pure.

Love the idea of painting your office this color. My bathroom is the restoration hardware version of this color and I adore it!

I like the idea of using this shade as an accent - maybe just paint the picture rail, skirting board or door frame in this hue and then keep the black. I think they would make a good combo - like mint chocolate.

P.S. Pinning every image - thanks for the inspiration!

Hey Alaina,
I love color ideas, but I'm nervous about painting my house. The last owner used high-gloss paint everywhere, ugh. But what's worrisome is that the walls aren't quite even everywhere. Do you have a (cheap) suggestion for how I can make sure the surface is nice and flat before I spend money on paint that still won't look nice?
