When I think of the color “aquamarine” the first thing that comes to mind is Hawaii or the Bahamas. The color of the water, there is no color that can describe it better in my mind.
The other day, my daughter and I walked through Z- Gallery and right off, there was aquamarine everywhere. I took some pictures with my cell, so they are a little blurry, but it was totally inspirational. My main living area (great-room) is desert colors, with as much mirrored and/or “Hollywood Regency Style” as I can without going over the top, I don't like clutter and am totally passionate about everything having its place, and along with that, is a touch of Hawaiian style. No designer would say that is a “style”, but it’s mine and I love the two together. But I love bright beautiful tropical colors, and in my relax room, three walls are painted in Ralph Lauren Regent Metallics in a chocolate brown with gold hints of metallic, and one pure white wall. With all white no fuss contemporary furniture, clean lines as to ensure it’s not over cluttered. So my accent colors are aquamarine and orchid green, or what some call honeydew. I wanted this room for my computer room, photography room, and as I’ve said to have a place to go and relax…these colors are just that, so relaxing. So a few new pieces in aquamarine wouldn’t hurt, right? One of my future post, I wanted to do on this room, because I think it is so important for all of us to have a room we can go to and just escape after a long day at work, and have time to do our nails, watch TV, do a little blogging, or do nothing at all but just “RELAX”. So, to me the color of the aquamarine, gives me that calm feeling as though I am just sitting on a beautiful beach and enjoying the water, sand and sun.
