Color Stories.....

A couple of months ago, I was invited by Mallory Paint Stores to participate in a event that introduced the new Benjamin Moore color line called "Color Stories" to designers and bloggers in the greater Seattle area.  It was inspiring to hear the speakers from Benajmin Moore talk about these colors and the inspiration behind each of the different 240 colors.



For me, what really made this paint line unique is that none of these colors are mixed using black or grey, making them each a specific color in the gallery rather than shades and tints of a base color.  Each one, whether light, dark or someplace in between has a richness to it that comes out in any light.

I left with a bag full of goodies and look forward to putting those to work and some paint on the walls!



Tell me.... if you could repaint your wall this weekend, which color would you choose out of these amazing 240 colors?

Fall Inspiration

What a beautiful start we are having to our fall - it seems more like summer and I am enjoying it!  The cool nights and warm days are the perfect setting for inspiration as the leaves begin to change to the warm tones of red, orange and brown.  From nature to fashion, the colors of fall provide a wonderful pallet for our homes.

Finding something that inspires you is the first step of creating a space that reflects you and your lifestyle.   What inspires you?
