I am way behind on colour trends. I like what I like when I like it. Usually just as it is disappearing from the fashion & homewares stores, resulting in huge missions across town to find what I like or cruising online to catch the last remaining morsels of the fad of the day.

I just didn't get in to pastels. Mainly because I don't think they look good on me & they also don't suit the bright, colourful palette of my home. I did however recently acquire some pastel paints to upcycle 3 Ikea chairs I bought for $15 off Gumtree. The tangerine one is done with the pink & green yet to come. Also searching for a round wooden table if anyone in Brisbane is selling one cheap?

Here are some of my minty green faves for your viewing pleasure. Brew yourself a Mint Green Tea & enjoy!
