Yes, 2013 is dwindling, but we feel it’s never too late to celebrate this year’s “Pantone Color of the Year:” Emerald. Saturated, cheery and bold, we will continue to celebrate this gem of a hue well into 2014 and beyond.
While going green with some of the more permanent finishes and fixtures in your kitchen may be a big and bold commitment that even the most devout Emerald enthusiasts would shy away from, we are green with envy over these cheery Emerald kitchens.

Paired with clean white surfaces and a bold floral wallpaper, this vibrant Emerald island leaves us speechless.
