Radiant Orchid: The Plant!

Welcome to the first color post of 2014! Last year, I picked a new color each month and featured weekly posts. This year I will be trying something different. Each month I will be using Pantone's color of the year for a monthly Radiant Orchid post...let's see how creative I get in 12 months. ;)

Starting with:

The orchid plant has one of the most beautiful and elegant flowers. It often makes a perfect gift, so when in doubt, gift an orchid. My favorites are the white ones but they are all beautiful. Take a look at my beautiful plant from last year.

The photograph above, by Terence Davis (buy here,) is a perfect example of the Radiant Orchid color of the month with it's purple, fuchsia and pink tones. 

The +Pantone color is described as an expressive, creative and embracing purple—one that draws you in with its beguiling charm. The color transmits joy, love and health. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by all that?! I definitely would so stay tuned for more Radiant Orchid posts. 

What are your thoughts on Pantone's color of the year?

Tangerine Tango

Tangerine is color of the month at CheersCristalia.com and although I mentioned in my first tangerine post (here) that I didn't like +Pantone 's Tangerine Tango I thought it deserved it's own post because the color did make it to color of the year in 2012.

The Executive Director at Pantone's Color Institute, Leatrice Eiseman, described the color as sophisticated, dramatic and seductive. I must say that Tango as a dance form is all of those exciting words but I'm not so sure about tangerine. Tangerine is just delicious to me. ;) 

Here are some Tangerine Tango items from Pantone's Shop that might inspire you. Note that they all come in other colors. Cheers!

The 2014 IKEA Catalog is here and of course, I have to share my favorites with you! Scroll on to view the pages I liked the most and what I love in them.

Colorful Chairs!

It's great to see Pantone's 2013 color of the year in that classy sofa.
At $9.99 I am ready to go purchase that faux sheepskin rug, nice and fluffy. 

Classy & romantic vs. bright and bold. I'm torn!

B, I, G - Metallic letter decor on the left wall.
Anyone's dream, a white clean home - nice and bright.

Change that light blue wall to white or a super soft pink and it's perfect for a girl.

My dream kitchen has an island and this one is just perfect. 

I sometimes wonder where to hide all the plants in my living room...thanks for the idea IKEA!

Hope you love these as much as I do! Now tell me what's been added to your IKEA wish list in a comment below.

March is a very green month at Cheers! Cristalia. Each week I'll be posting green inspiration to celebrate Emerald - Pantone color of the year - and St. Patricks Day!

This green shade gives any ordinary space a bit of luxury because it was inspired my the emerald gemstone. The color conveys balance, and a sense of well-being. This week I bring you home decor inspiration in emerald green with rugs, chairs, lanterns, and more.
