I am thinking about making salsa but my mother is allergic to citrus fruits like oranges, limes, lemons, grapefruits, and so on. I can't seem to find a salsa recipe without lime. Can you just use the recipe and not use the lime juice? Would it taste very different? Thanks!
I am not sure what room in the house you are doing...maybe your bedroom, I am guessing~white always brings any color out~Tangerine can really make it pop with lime green. Another shade of light green a little lighter would look look good to. I did my daughter bathroom lime green with hot pink flowers. As for a design the possibilities are endless. There are some really great stencils, Pre-cut shaped sponges, you can tape off stripes and that is easy. Circles are easy and can be totally random or have a pattern. Cut a heavy tube, find different size round things that you can dip in paint and go crazy with it. Phrases are also very good, words, short sayings. You can free hand them of stencil them.I have done hand prints, doilies, bottoms of shoes with cool patterns, sponge painting, combing (large comb in paint section) paint a second color over the top and pull comb through it, My niece just did an awesome Hawaiian room. Put up grass shirts for valances, put a little clothes line on the wall, used clothes pins (painted hot colors) and put a bikini and coconut bra, etc on the line. It's very cute. Leia's. A surf board. Things you like or hobbies are always a good theme. It is endless...I hope that this gives you some ideas...happy painting!
I love pink or hot pink with lime green. The contrast is great. Purple is nice too, but I prefer hot pink. What you really want is something contrasting. In my girls' bedroom, we painted the walls a VERY light lime green, then I found some pink and hot pink polka dots that are actually wall stickers. Smacked those across the center of the wall in a haphazard border and voila, in 5 minutes it was done. Add in some pink sheer window coverings and it really does look great!
I think it depends on the mood you are going for. Using a lilac purple, the complement of lime green, and some white would look fresh and modern. A dark brown would feel Zen and earthy. Pink would feel girly. Pale yellow may be a cool choice too; I think it would feel like spring. I would stay away from blues and different shades of green, though. Shades that are too similar but not quite the same appear to clash. No matter what shade you choose, make sure that it is warm and not cool.
Stick to black. The lime green is a hard color to find things to match up to and you don't want to take away from the dress. As far as accessories, I would take the dress with me to a store and try to find something like a scarf with the color of the lime green and a yellow to go with it. Other than that I would stay in the gold tones for jewelry. Or for shoes, depending on the weather, a light color beige would go very well with the dress, but they should be fairly open, actually, come to think of it, you could get away with beige shoes, and forget about the black. We are moving into sprink and the beige would work better, more summery. I hope I have helped somewhat.
You have tons of choices, depending on what you like. First, figure out exactly how you're going to use the lime. If you do lime green on all of the walls, you're going to have a very intense room. Try calming it down by using a lot of white in the furniture, accessories, window treatments, etc. Look at this web page, for example. They use lime green, but sparingly. There's a lot of white and pale lime to keep it from being overwhelming. What if you did a bright lime green on one or two walls, and a pale lime or even white on the other two walls? Or divide the wall with a chair rail or border and paint lime at the top and white on the bottom. You can even create a border with paint. Whatever you choose, try to keep a lot of white in the room, whether it be on the walls or in the accessories. Once you've figured out how you want to use the lime, the next step is to decide how you want the room to feel. Do you want it to be cheerful and peppy? Use some other citrus colors, like orange and yellow. Do you want it to be more girly? Add some pink. Lime green and pink look great together, especially with small accents of black. The pink could range from a watermelon color to a pepto bismol pink, depending on what you like. How about young, but not too girly? Try a turquoise blue. Do you want it to be a little more sophisticated, but still fun? Try deep blue-purple accents. Looking for something very sophisticated? A chocolate brown would look good with a lime that is just slightly more olive. In this case, I'd use a pale taupe as the calming color rather than white.
