At first I wasn't thrilled about this color, however the more I see it, the more I have begun to be motivated by it! I'm even thinking about using it in our master bedroom design.
Who knows maybe Radiant Orchid will inspire you to new heights!
I am obsessed with the orchid color for everything this year... too bad the bf wont let me paint the bedroom that color!
ReplyDeleteMe too Meredith! It has really grown on me. I haven't told my husband yet that it will be in our room, but do it and ask for forgiveness later! You could always get some pillows or change out your comforter to incorporate the color. Those are options that aren't as permanent and it will ease him into the color!
