Design: Mint + Gold

Hello Made By Girl fans! It's Brooke here to talk about my newest obsession: mint.  I sure we're all aware this color is everywhere this Spring, from fashion to home decor to ice cream shops.  Even when I was watching the season premiere of Mad Men (amazing!!), I spotted some minty freshness in the swingin' 60's spaces.  

My absolute favorite was a shot of Don & Megan's front door to their new apartment.  I love the mix of green lacquer the gold starburst escutcheon on the door knob.  I'm dying to recreate the look for a modern-day home:

1. Mid-Century Wide Star Escutcheon by Rejuvenation

2. Mint Julep by Benjamin Moore

The original shot of Don's new doors: 

I probably wouldn't stop at the door, either. You could use mint and gold pretty much anywhere in your home, from the bathroom to the bedroom.  Here's my dream mint/gold 60's inspired dining room:
