Imagine my surprise ~ BHG 2015 Color Palette


While wandering through a thrift store a couple months ago I noticed this beautiful
vintage painting on canvas. I loved it, but it was December and I was knee deep in Christmas
prep, parties, shopping and the last thing I needed was to haul home another treasure. 
But, it spoke to me and I envisioned it being the inspiration piece for a pretty
 spring/summer update, paired with some modern elements.
 Imagine my surprise yesterday when Better Homes & Gardens announced their 
2015 Color Palette of the Year
 and three of their picks are included in my painting! Who knew?!?! 
  

Rain Forest Green, Warm Blush, Shape-Shifting Coral 
Oceanic Blue, Fresh Berry, Sophisticated Gray

Better Homes & Gardens 2015 Color Palette of the Year

I'd been considering a few ideas, but hadn't thought of painting...hmmm.
I'm working up the courage for something with this vibe...

Are you a fan of their new color palette?

I am surprised, too. I am not a fan of the peaches and greens personally. I did peach in a big way when I first got married and am not revisiting that.....yet. I am wild about that Fresh Berry color though. But, you know, we can make anything work! xo Nancy

I love that bright and fresh green - and your idea on how to use it! Pretty and bold. Your new painting is so pretty and I can't wait to see you build a look out of this inspiration piece!!

That painting!!! And I'm actually loving all those colors

I love that color palette!....I am happy that those peachy/coral colors were included as I have a beautiful Lee sofa in that soft peach color...actually the sofa was originally taupe and it turned that color...
I am anxious to see what you will be doing...and must say that that painting is so beautiful!

Yes! Love the painting, that will be so pretty in your house! I have a pair of velvet green panels that I snagged after Christmas for $12.50 each. Maybe I need to send them your way!

Definitely! I love those shades of green and pink together (and of course with a little bit of gray thrown in :) - that would look beautiful in your home!

Very fresh looking. Totally says Springtime which is lovely. Especially considering we have 10" of snow outside and it is still coming down!
