With my
(free!) gallon of minty paint sitting in the basement, I'm slowly plotting my next DIY project. If you
remember my inspiration for the basement, icy turquoise and pale pink were the accents I planned to pair with a warm, rich griege, which would then be peppered with a bit of black and white. But the bedroom above illustrates how well a minty-hue works, too. . .
Maybe some mint-hued shelves for the laundry room, or a fabulous little table for a reading nook?
Oooo, minty furniture sure is plentiful. Here are a couple more tasty pieces:
I love mint doors. Cupboard doors. Front doors. A basement door . . .
A small dose, or large splash, of mint in the art? You know there will be art galore. I'm planning a few projects that
anyone can do.
Some accessories, definitely. I'm thinking a minty lamp . . . and more.
So many ideas! Mint green is pretty popular right now, and I love all of this inspiration. Have you added any mint (DIY or otherwise) to your space?
Ooh you've got some real winners there. Love the mint paired with the greige, and the color combination in that art by Brittany Bass is so happy and charming. I scored a mint lamp base from Goodwill just a few weeks ago, but I'm still on the hunt for the perfect shade. Can't wait to see what you decide for the basement!
ReplyDeleteMint is everywhere right now, isn't it? Which you would think would make finding a dress for my sister's wedding a cinch (She wants her bridesmaids in an eclectic array of mint skirts and dresses), but I can't find one that is modest and sophisticated. I wish I could borrow some of your mint paint a paint a dress.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I LOVE those candlesticks.
Could you find a cute white dress and dye it? Or have a dress maker make one from a sweet mint fabric? I had my wedding dress made by a dress maker and it was surprisingly affordable.
DeleteOh! I love the idea of dyeing a dress! Why hadn't I thought of that?
DeleteIt would make for a great post! YHL has a dress dyeing post buried in their archives. I think certain fabric take dye better, so you might want to google it up. P.S. with your dark hair, you will look fab in mint! I hope you share pics :)
DeleteLove all of these options! Can't wait to see what you do :)
ReplyDeleteI have a mint bathroom but it has been that way for a while now!
Ooo, a minty bathroom? How fun! I love that you're ahead of the curve :)
DeleteInteresting! If you had asked do we all like mint I would have said NO. After seeing all these images I think I love mint. Being open minded pays off huh?
ReplyDeleteA convert! I love it! I always thought of mint as a little dated (I think my 80s bedroom was minty) so turquoise was always my favorite. But now I see how fresh mint can be (and how darn close it is to my favorite colour).
DeleteMint is surely my fav color of the moment! LOVE the inspiration!
ReplyDeletethanks a lot. i just salivated all over my keys.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter has long been a minty girl. The kitchen walls in her previous home were mint. The cabinets were white with a frosted glass insert, and the floors were a textured black tile. The effect was stunning.
ReplyDeleteOooo! Thanks for including me! You made me love my door a little bit more now. :) I cannot wait to see how you incorporate mint madness!
ReplyDeleteThis post is beautiful. I am such a primary colors person, but this makes me want to stray!
ReplyDeleteLOVE mint! That birdie painting is so cute...think you should recreate one!
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the mint! Definitely going to have to looking that as a color option for our living room!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful hits of mint! Look forward to seeing what you're going to paint! :)
ReplyDeletePretty! We had some of those telephone tables but no space in our bungalow so they went bye bye... now I wish I kept them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a shame! This has happened to me too: someone does something genius with something I got rid of!
Deletemint is super IN right now...all i want is mint jeans and i'll pair it with gold bangles! :))
ReplyDeleteYou would look fabulous in mint jeans!
