Each month, HGTV.com features a Color of the Month on their website. They spotlight different shades of a particular paint color in many different decorating styles. It's a great way to get inspiration if you were wanting to use a certain color but didn't know which direction to run with it to satisfy your taste. Well with summer being just around the corner, the color for July is Carnival Red. I mean just the name of it makes me think of fresh strawberries and tomatoes, a cherry snow cone, or a pop of red lips to top off your look for a night out.
I didn't want to focus on just home decor and paint colors of that hue since HGTV pretty much has that covered. So I thought 'why not have a mix of beauty, craft, food, and clothing items each month that all have a common color theme?' So here it is...the LaO blog's first installment of Color of the Month. I'm going to follow the lead of HGTV for this one with Carnival Red since it's such a gorgeous color and I found so many lovely things to share. Please keep scrolling to enjoy the red good-ness that is about to ensue...
With the 4th of July festivities coming up next weekend, I thought it'd be appropriate to find some patriotic themed party ideas {we're talking food, drinks, clothing, decor - I found it all!}. So here my roundup of all things patriotic that should get in the mood for singing the National Anthem and lighting up some sparklers!
