THE BEST OF: TEAL + TANGERINE

Well, tomorrow marks the first day of June... to more sun - filled days,  yummy fresh fruits & color infused skies! One of our favorite things here at the marketplace is seeing all the LIFE that comes with the VIBRANT HUES of summer!  So, today we bring you a fabulous color combo... without further ado, the best of: teal + tangerine! 


Doesn't this original artwork tell the perfect story of your daughter on the beach? The warm citrus hues of tangerine & orange nicely compliment the coastal tones of teal & aqua. This work would be a wonderful focal point for a beach home or lake house!

When designing your home don't be afraid to SPLURGE ON THE DETAILS! We continue to be big fans of wallpaper... and, if want to make a room pop then pick a color palette you love & go with it! The room design featured above makes a statement by being intentional with the placement of two bold colors. The punch of TANGERINE on the ivory bed linens is a great accent alongside the TEAL wallpaper! 


If you are wanting to pull together the finishing touches in your room... then bring in patterns & prints on your accessory pieces! Add a little twist to your traditional by pairing a tangerine monogram with a teal & ivory chevron frame. Nothing like a FRESH LOOK TO HEAD INTO SUMMER!

New goodies are finding there way into the marketplace daily... 
And, we hope you come visit soon as well!

We love the idea of incorporating BOLD STYLE into your home! Vibrant hues of yellow, lime, & coral are the perfect color combination. They certainly will spruce up your look for summer! The talented, Phoebe Howard, designed an inviting living room (above) by creating a focal point with abstract art.  A little tip: pull the bright colors from your artwork into a your room design with accessories & accents! Check out how the designer did just that by adding lime gourd lamps & a punch of yellow on the club chairs.


If you are in the market for some incredible artwork... then be sure to stop in & see the original pieces by, NC artist, Trip Park! We continue to be amazed as his unique & playful style continues to emerge. You can add bold COLOR to your home with art! The piece by Trip featured above is perfect for your breakfast nook or kitchen. Don't these pears have such personality? Who wouldn't want to grab a cup of coffee & have this friendly pair greet you each morning?
