Spring Renewal
W hen friends ask Little Rock designer
Cortney Singleton for inspiration for a
can’t-go-wrong color scheme, she often
tells them to look out their windows.
“ Nature doesn’t make m istakes,” she
says. An overcast sky inspired this palette
of washed-out gray-blues and golden
neutrals. A vibrant green gleaned from
budding foliage adds energy. “ It’s that
touch of new life associated with
spring— a surprise pop in an otherwise
subdued and classic color scheme.”
