The new year has me thinking of bringing fresh colors into my home, and none is more prefect than mint. It’s a little green, not quite pastel and perfectly bright and modern. It goes well with neutrals, blues and grays, and it can be added to a space in textiles, accessories or paint. If you are looking for a new color for your home, mint might just be your new best friend. — Jessica from Decor Adventures

Beacon Hill Cheetah Velvet Mint Fabric - $164.20 Sewing is one of my favorite hobbies, so I’m always on the lookout for new fabrics. This one is a bold choice, but because I already have accents of mint in my home, it could be a showstopper on curtains or pillows.
