Bonjour Mes Amis!
While I never have been one to pay attention to the color of the year, when I saw that Pantone had chosen "Radiant Orchid" as the color of 2014, I took notice!
It's a gorgeous blend of lavender, fuchsia, and pink that I think is so fun and cheerful!
Oooh, la, la!

I found the following photos on Pinterest. Apparently, many people are crazy about this color, too!
Check out this amazing barn!
While I wouldn't want radiant orchid floor to ceiling in my home, I think touches here and there would be so pretty!
You can't accuse this bathroom of being subtle, but it sure would be fun to take a bubble bath in that gorgeous clawfoot tub!
What a beautiful blooming bush, and a pretty front door.
So, I thought I'd get into the act and create a few things for my shop in radiant orchid.
I had so much fun painting this picture frame and mirror set! I think that the color really pops against the creamy white and shades of gray that I painted some of the pieces.
I also just finished this radiant orchid framed chalkboard for my shop.
It's a color that just makes me happy!
I've placed the frame set and chalkboard in my Etsy shop, if you care to take a look!
What colors make you happy?

Hi Miss Donna,
Bee-u-tee-ful color, it would work wonderfully with the color of my mohair.
Woofs to Katie Bug.

Hi Donna, this is a great color for just touches here and there. Love your pretty frames and the gray really is a wonderful compliment. Gray just goes with everything doesn't it?? Your frame set is wonderful. I love how you pull together these sets in size and color.
Such a talent Donna.
Have a great day and Happy Creating!!
Hugs
Hi Donna, It's a pretty color...but like you, I think in moderation. That room is too much. Love your frames . blessings, xoxo,Susie
You have made me take a second look at this color. Love the frames!
Hi Donna,
It is a pretty color and I love that you did a chalk board framed in that color. So fun and pretty.

It's a beautiful color. For some reason it reminds me of bougainvillea which is a plant I have always loved. I guess bold is in this year, and touches of this color are a nice added accent.
The barn photo is remarkable!!!
Your frames are pretty, and so is the chalkboard.
I think having a color like that would be nice.....but just a pop of color....NOT a whole room!
Have a great Sunday, honey bunch!

I just bought a shirt this color but had no idea it was "the" color of the year! Love it!
