10 Ways To Add Mint Into Your Home

Are you loving the Emerald Green or are you already over it? I have to say, I think it’s a beautiful color but I feel like MINT has slowly taken over as the  color of the year.

10 Ways To Add Mint Into Your Home (via designdininganddiapers.com)

I love how mint is being incorporated into every style of home decor from shabby chic to industrial and even modern contemporary. No matter your style, there is a place for some mint! I’ve been playing around with some ideas for Miss E’s room so I thought I’d put together a list of Ways To Add Mint Into Your Home.

    I love this inspiration, Taryn. I am really loving mint too. I’m playing around trying to incorporate it into my bedroom. I especially love the open frames really pretty!

    Mint’s my fave! So glad it seems to be taking the stores by storm! It’s been all over the place in clothes too which had me ecstatic. My family was all able to get shades of minty goodness for family photos a few months back!

    Love mint green. When I was little I always kept the sea green (which is so close to mint green) and coral crayons out of all of the 64 packs I had so nobody else would use them. So happy that some of my favorite colors are back in style. I love the Tonight We Are Young Pillow…now that song is totally stuck in my head ;)

    Oh yeah, yummmmmy. It’s so close to light aqua too. I’m really loving light thru to darker shades of aqua with coral. The aqua and mint look gorgeous side by side. Love the open frames, I’m needing to do that with frames next on my shutter shelf (my rendition of a mantel). You have so many wonderful examples of how to use mint. Makes me drool. I’m very much a color person, gotta have it in my rooms. Nothing like keeping our senses wild. Take care and happy week

    Oh I’m swooning Taryn- I so love this shade. Reminds me of the beach- which I miss so much. I would do all of these if I could work it in to our cabin decor.

    I love mint but sadly there’s no place for it in my home. I try to incorporate it into my wardrobe or wear it on my fingers. I love all the inspiration pictures. Makes me want to rethink my color choices…

Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been Euro Summer First stop Paris 🇫🇷. It’s been 19 years since I’ve been here and it’s even more magical than I remember! There is something truly special about this city. The architecture, the people, the most amazing pastries, and gorgeous gardens. Showing my family this city was a gift. I experience it in a different way each time and it just keeps getting better.

Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard Comments OUTDOOR for all the info on our backyard furniture and decor! Unfortunately, when I get an idea I can’t stop until it’s done 😉. I got an itch to swap out our three chaise lounges for a large U-Shape sectional to create more seating and lounging poolside. I knew there was only one brand who could make this happen… I worked with @polywood to design a sectional that would be a complete custom fit for this little nook. I used the Braxton 6 Seat Sectional and added additional modular seats to get this look. I LOVE how it turned out! They can make anything happen! 

POLYWOOD outdoor furniture is made out of recycled plastics, making it durable in all weather climates. They also have a 20 year warranty.

POV: working with what you have and creating somet POV: working with what you have and creating something completely new! I kept all the original flooring, cabinets, backsplash and fixtures and did only cosmetic updates to update this space. I wanted to add more contrast, character, warmth and texture. By smoothing out the texture of the walls it instantly gave it an updated look, the new paint color added contrast, the wood ceiling added warmth and texture and all the antiques and vintage pieces gave it the charm. 🖤

LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of LAUNDRY ROOM IS DONE ! This was a true example of working with what we have, turning something with great bones into something that is unique, custom and full of character. (Swipe for the before) It now feels like my own little escape to the French countryside every time I do laundry, and I’m not mad about it.
