October is usually a month of apples and Halloween candy, but it is also a time to remind ourselves to be safe. This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, an opportunity to take care of ourselves by making an appointment for our yearly breast exam. October is also Window Safety Awareness Month, so it’s also a good time to take stock of your windows and make sure that they are as safe as they are beautiful.

The color pink, symbol of Breast Cancer Awareness can also be electrifying and exciting, especially combined with bright yellow. Lemon Sorbet is Benjamin Moore’s 2013 Color of the Year. Look how great it looks with pink – a dynamic combination!

How about this yellow laundry room…the pink shelves give this room some real pizzazz!

Or this dining room? Delicious!
