The Washington Post reported yesterday that Pantone Institute has declared Emerald to be THE color of 2013. Their website declares that Emerald is “Lively. Radiant. Lush…” and equates the color with well-being, balance, and harmony. I think of gemstones, grass in spring, and where the Wizard of Oz lives.
In any event, Emerald is popping up in furniture, paint, home decor, cookware, linens–you name it, you’ll fine it. The word that comes to mind now, at least for me, is “edit.” I don’t want my home to be all over green–too much like the Emerald City. Instead, pick a few items to get your green on. Linens, for instance, or accent pillows, or a kettle for the stove. In that way, you freshen up your home without breaking the bank, AND have the ability to switch when Emerald is declared passe. In the meantime, say it along with me: “Who Rang That Bell?”
