The first of many Pantone-inspired Etsy treasuries! This one features Pantone’s 2011 Color of the Year – HONEYSUCKLE! I love the cheer and vibrancy this sassy pink tone exudes. I don’t think I’d paint a room this color (but then I paint most of my rooms some shade of gray)- but it makes a perfect pop for a fashion accessory, toss pillow, or piece of funky artwork.
I perused the web to see how Honeysuckle’s been put to use, and honestly, seeing this bright shade slathered all over walls, floors and kitchen cabinets was a little much for me. I prefer this simpler application featured over at A Designer’s World– a few sassy chairs and minimal paint to cheer up a streamlined kitchen:
She also featured this dining room with to die for wallpaper (I heart wallpaper, but D has banned it from our home). The monochromatic off-white palette in the rest of the room keeps it from being too overwhelming, which I appreciate!
And of course, there’s fashion to consider. Check out this slew of honeysuckle dresses slinking down the runway over at Tile Envy:
I don’t know about you, but a couple weeks of snow has really got me ready for this kind of happy fashion!

Gorgeous collection of Honeysuckle! I can’t get enough of this color 🙂 Thanks for including my Honeysuckle “Just Love” print!
I love that loose and flowy fit! And with that color it makes a beautiful collection.
