Pantone: Emerald VS Orchid
Comments (171)I always read the comments with glee----there are always those who relegate colors they don't like to either being "Teen age" or "Grandma"----are those the most awful comparisons that they can visualize? Someone said, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and that includes color. My life is filled with color and it has been for 84 years so I have experienced the ages of teen and grandma and if I could choose a time, I would definitely choose the grandma age, being a teen is much too hard these days. My preference here is the orchid, perhaps not in exactly that shade, but it has more possibilities in MY eye. I will use the SW purple in my new bedroom, it is exactly the color I have been looking for. Ellen---re: towels. In the early 70's I chose a beautiful Garnet red carpet by Karastan for my living room and stairway to the second floor. I had a small powder room in the entry way which I felt required towels in Garnet red. The color was not to be found anyplace beyond this one carpet manufacturer but I kept asking for it when I went into a store and guess what---within 6 months there were Garnet red towels in every store in Seattle. The same with an antique gold velvet sofa. It took me 8 months to finally find the exact shade of gold I wanted and by the time that special order sofa arrived, there were antique gold chairs and sofas all over the place. It doesn't take a lot of people asking for something, it just takes one person asking in a lot of places! I applaud Pantene for having the courage to promote a color that is so definitely NOT beige, it may give those who are too timid to follow their own taste to at least try something they secretly like, even if it is only on a sofa pillow....See MoreWhat changes are in store at your place for 2014?
Comments (207)Except for the furniture, this is what the dining room looked like before and after. The table we have now is only a temporary table (we used to use it at the cabin because it folds down to nothing and stores the chairs, so it's not exactly trendy, but it's something we can use until time to move. New, light, pulled down wallpaper border, new paint, new trim, new doors, widened doorway to the kitchen, new floor, some electrical work and a LOT of damaged wall work. Before and after (sadly, the color looks a bit lemony in these photos…..it's really a beautiful buttery color. So lovely that I'm having one of the rooms in my new house painted this color even though I don't normally like yellow rooms):...See MoreCannot find the page I saw a Sherwin Williams color pallet on
Comments (0)It was my first time using Houzz right around Jan 1, 2014, and I found this color pallet by Sherwin Williams that I loved. I just spent a few hours trying every search I could think of and I just can't find it. I started out trying to determine my style, which was somewhere between modern rustic and beachy. There was a white, a gray/plum, and some other colors. I know this is a shot in the dark, but anyone have any tips? Thanks....See MorePOLL: Favorite couch color?
Comments (307)does anyone have any experience with pottery barns washed linen fabric or the brushed canvas? Can't decide. I have 3 kids and a dog and need it to be durable. I plan on getting the PB comfort roll arm slipcovered but can't decide on a fabric. I love that either fabric I can wash but nervous about wrinkles after people sit on it....See MoreScott F Smith
