Radiant Orchid

I'm so excited to be sharing a fun project today with some of my favorite bloggers!  We all worked on a project centered around radiant orchid, the color of the year.  

From top left moving clockwise:

I know radiant orchid hasn't been the most popular color of the year, but I really like it.  I probably wouldn't paint a whole room that color, but I think it's a great accent color in small doses.  My office is lavender with accents of pink and orange so I thought that would be the perfect place to throw in a little radiant orchid.    

I started with this tray that I found at Goodwill.  I see them there all the time.  Then I just picked up a sample pot of radiant orchid from Lowe's.  A little goes a long way so I have a bunch leftover for other projects.   

I really like the way this color pops against my white desk and the tray is great for keeping things a little more organized.

What do you think about radiant orchid?  Would you use it in your home?  Be sure to check out the other projects through the links at the top of the post!
