In like a lion…

March. We are nearly out of the woods of winter anticipating the new beginings that spring brings. Yet, oddly enough, among the gray skies and melting snow you can find the perfect inspiration for a new project. Mother Nature again providing a creative nudge through a small piece of birch bark blowing across the yard…which leads to the selection of a terrazzo vessel…which then leads to a new backsplash? Bath renovation? OK, let’s not get nuts…maybe a few new towels is the simplest solution. http://www.target.com/s/bathroom+home+spa+towels
Here’s the answer…

to my most asked question. “What color should I use to paint my______room?”. Well, my go to inspiration that works every time…for any room…in any style…in any part of the country… is a simple kraft paper bag. That’s it. Simple. Have it color matched at your favorite paint supplier in your choice of finish and it will transform your space magically. I know it will work for you and I haven’t even seen your space…this solution is THAT good. Deep enough to be dramatic yet not so deep as to be viewed as ” too dark”, and the perfect neutral to compliment ANY color on the color wheel. Any.
Looking for a neutral that might be more modern? Pick up a stone, drop it in that bag and take that to the paint store for a color match. Bingo! Another successful choice.
Add a great textured linen (see the neutral thing happening here?) like Calvin Fabrics ECO Linen #8384 and you my friend are on your way.
