Oh man, I can't even begin to tell you how much I love this trend. I have always always loved bright colors, almost to a fault I think. Like every little girl who lived through the 90's I was a huge Lisa Frank fan. Lisa loved the neon, so I loved anything she made.
As much as I love bright colors I have kinda shied away from them as I have gotten older. When there is way too much neon in an outfit (or kitchen--hello my kitchen walls are lime green) it screams Jr. High. But I like this recent trend of pairing neon with natural wood and in small pops in an outfit. Oh! It is a match made in freaking Heaven!!! I can be grown up and my inner 11 year old loves it too, its a win.
Here are some of my favorite match ups:
Neon Painted Kitchen Utensils. This is awesome because it's a DIY! Just buy some wooden spoons and paint them up! From this cute blog.
I pinned this image a while back and I just love it. Not only for the natural kraft paper and neon, but those flowers and that garland are just so pretty.
Another DIY! Nude shoe + spray paint. From Green Wedding Shoes.
Probably my most favorite way to do wood + neon. Tables. Our lives will settle down a little bit after Easter, I hope George and I can find a weekend to build a table like these.

Neon also makes me excited for spring. Do you love neon?
I love neon! I really like those spatulas.
ReplyDeleteOkay, so... when I first saw this post, I was kinda... "ehhhh" about neutrals and neons. But it's growing on me! I am throwing a friend a baby shower in a few weeks & we decided to go with neutrals & neons.... burlap, galvanized metals, whites... with bright pops of neon yellows, light blues, royal blues, corals... thanks to you! ;)
ReplyDeletehaha I do that all the time! I will see something that people are just obsessing over, claim that I hate it, then like 2 months later I am loving it too. It actually makes me mad at myself! The baby shower sounds like it will be super pretty! I love all of those colors together :) I'm glad I turned you into a believer of neon+nuetral!
