Ok, I know that is a kitchen, but look how cute!
So, I'm still slightly undecided but I have a ton of pretty paint chips. Who knew there were so many minty shades!

home :: studio/office inspiration
Originally I was thinking of painting my craft room purple and using a ton of mint decor items. This was sort of my inspiration photo.
But then I started thinking of how adorable and calming it would be to paint the walls mint and have lots of mint stuff in the room. Mint overload, I don't think so. Here are some cute minty things I found.

It doesn't matter what colors you pick, I'm sure it will be gorgeous! Mine is sort of in progress right now, at the point in which you still don't want to take pictures of it. :D LOL
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of mint and purple! I've never thought of that color combination! Either way the colors you chose will be great!

mint and purple would be great together. but maybe add a splash of a bright color to spark your creativity? maybe yellow or orange?

The combo mint and purple is cute! Maybe you can do it the other way around then? I mean, paint your room in minty colors and add purple decor pieces, such as cute purple pillows? :-)
ReplyDeleteI love these pics by the way!

I love mint too :) That kitchen is adorable and I love the AshleyG print! I think Mint,Purple,and Orange would go great together :)
ReplyDeleteI love mint! In my last house my bedroom had mint walls and pale purple floorboards, it was so pretty!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm, having worked in a paint store for years (and still as an artist) I understand that finding the 'right' colour of mint (or turquoise) is like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall! Sample pots can be a life-saver ...you see a larger version of the colour. Sounds refreshingly lovely to have an all mint room vs. the Joker's lair... altho maybe then you'd get more visits from Batman too.. hubba hubba!
ReplyDeleteahem. I digress.

I love mint and it goes with so many colors! I can't wait to see pics! Mine has been a pretty unorganized mess for a couple years- yikes!
ReplyDeletei actually love that kitchen! so adorable :)
ReplyDeleteMint seems like such a retro color to me for some reason. I think a mint craft room would be awesome!
ReplyDeleteThat kitchen is just charming!! I would want to move a bed in there and never leave!!! And that painting is just adorable!!! I am off to check out her etsy shop now!! xo
ReplyDeleteI'm talking my best friend into using a mint shade in her wedding colors...it's so pretty! And I love it with the purple, I have to say. :)
ReplyDeleteToo bad you live so far from me. I have a chair just like that one that I would give to you to paint mint. I have two, but only have room for one in my home. We could have been chair twins!
ReplyDeleteA turquoise colour is also very nice, but you already have a room painted turquoise, right?
ReplyDeleteOh! And I LOVE the inspiration photo! It's so cute and vintage! :D

Mint green and purple are my two favorite colors!! I'm so excited to see pictures!!
ReplyDeleteMy living room is painted mint green with lots of dark purples and mismatched wooden furniture - um, that sounds horrible, but I really think it works!
ReplyDeletei love it. i love the entire idea.

ReplyDeletemintyyyy I love it! The first pic is such a great inspiration!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm really excited to see your finished minty room! :D
ReplyDeleteoh, i'm loving the mint idea. so yummy. go for it. (:
ReplyDeleteYou are my thrift-conscious right now....I had in my hands the cutest little mint portable turntable at Goodwill today....but it had all sorts of repairs and a $20 price tag....if it's still there on payday then it was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteThere could never be a mint overload! I love the idea of combining it with the mauve purple....very calming indeed. You've done it again lady!

I love, love, love that purple and mint combo. My dream color combo is hot pink, teal blue and royal purple with white accents. (This is also our Christmas tree color!!!)
ReplyDeleteHowever, the mint is also gorgeous and refreshing!
mint would be really calming and tranquil! plus it's quite a nice pale colour so you can have fussier bits and pieces and decorations everywhere without it looking like too much x
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I would never ever cook in that kitchen for fear of getting anything dirty, or if I'd be cooking all the time just to be in there!
ReplyDeleteI'd probably just settle on sitting in a chair in the middle of the room staring at it.
Mint sounds pretty awesome!! Ahh, I love getting tons of paint chips... ha. I want to find some sort of awesome craft to do with all of the paint chips I have.
ReplyDeleteMint on mint is a-okay in my book (although I tend to gravitate toward rainbowier colors). That print of the girl with glasses? Too much cute!!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is full of playfulness, is, and is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe choice of this green is also good.
I love the purple and mint color combo, it's really pretty! The kitchen is cute too. :)
ReplyDeleteI think minty teal is the prettiest color - perfect backdrop to suit anything really.
ReplyDeleteI have a few pieces of furniture that color, and I'm painting the living room a similar shade soon! I think it's a happy color, so if you paint it that color the room will always make you happy!
oh goodness i just love this color! yes yes and yes!
