I would have named this post, “A touch of …” but I couldn’t decide what this color is officially called. In some products, it’s citron, in others, it’s mustard.
The paint chip I used when matching items was called parakeet. I think of chartreuse as being much more green, but I’ve seen things in this hue labeled that color as well.
Whatever you want to call it, I like the edginess of it for an accent color in our bedroom. A little goes a long way, and I don’t want to be overly invested in it. So, I picked up the bowl above from Marshall’s for a whopping seven bucks, and found these pillows from CB2. Mixing patterns is a step out of my comfort zone (I’m never certain if something “works” together or not) but I love these with the pattern of our duvet. Plus, I can flip them from the grey honeycomb pattern to solid if the mood strikes me.
Finally, to offset the geometric print, I love the more feminine flair in this sweet Etsy pillow from dedeetsyshop. And while I’m still planning to DIY a headboard in the hopefully-near future (maybe in that same pillow’s same dark grey linen?), for now I’m coloring this room done!
Linking up today with My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia!
