Hello, my name is Parris Reed and I am an INTERIOR DESIGNER that is lucky enough to work hand in hand with my fabulous mother/boss, Sharon Reed. This blog is here to document and celebrate our love of design, our crazy work life (usually in the car, hence the travels), and our fun finds along the way! 

Pantone Color of the Year

Thursday, January 20, 2011

Hello All! I am extremely excited to introduce to you the Pantone color of 2011!  Honeysuckle (18-2120 to be exact)!  Before you dismiss Honeysuckle as just another pink & girly color, you might want to hear what this cheery color is all about.  According to Pantone, Honeysuckle is “Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year.”  Honeysuckle is also known to ward off feelings of stress and to invite positivity into your everyday life! I don’t know about you, but I am a huge believer in the power of color psychology and this color seems to be perfect for getting back on track for 2011!

 
Doesn’t this just brighten your day??

I love this eclectic way of incorporating honeysuckle!  P.S. The black really makes the color pop!

 
Even if you don’t feel comfortable living with honeysuckle on a daily basis… you can always liven up your dinner party with the color!
 
Love!

 
 
 
Super fun!
 
What a way to start your day… getting ready in a cheery and bright bathroom!
