Everything Is Awesome!

Photo: Gift from my sweetie.  He said that they match my eyes.
Well, maybe everything isn't awesome.  I do have pink-eye in both eyes and I am still sick!  I so appreciate all your well- wishes and my friend Min who cooked us dinner and dropped it off last night.  I have awesome friends.  What else is awesome?:  I painted my powder room mirror Pantone's Radiant Orchid (yes I was sick but a girl still has to make things pretty even if she looks like the devil) and I love it!  Yesterday my husband brought home an orchid. He knew I wanted one to match my newly painted mirror.  When he gave it to me he said, "it matches your eyes."  That's why I love him.  
Yes, everything IS awesome.

Pantone's Color of the Year: Orchid

pinterest.com
Part of me is a little rebellious about Pantone taking it upon themselves to choose the "popular" color for the year.  The trendy, cool kid color that says "2014."  I love pretty much all colors in the right spots so I don't really believe in "it" colors; but I must say that I get just a little bit giddy to hear which color it will be every year.  I can't help myself--it's style related so I'm a sucker even though, in principle, I shun the idea.  
A few weeks back the color of the year was announced...orchid is the winner.  I personally (like I said before) love the shade in the right space.  I think it is a stunning accent color and plays well with all shades of lavender and pink.  It looks stunning with green, yellow and blue so what's not to love!

What do you think of the "color of the year" concept?  What do you think of the choice of orchid?
