SHAPESHIFTER There are those who always seem a little ahead of their time. Visionary and creative, this palette reaches into the cosmos and returns with a whole universe of inspiration. Atmospheric wisps of colors, grounded by deep dark blues, capture the unique space between technology and spirituality.
INFLUENCERS RINGS OF SATURN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SPIRITUALISM HEALING ENERGY
Paint Colors:
BLUE SKY SW 0063 ELATION SW 6827 (182-C1) NUGGET SW 6697 (137-C4) EXTRA WHITE SW 7006 (257-C1) ENDLESS SEA SW 9150 (223-C7) CELESTIAL SW 6808 (179-C3) DARK NIGHT SW 6237 (222-C7

WANDERER Some spirits can never be fenced in. They need to soak in the blue of endless horizon and the subtle earthy colors of the high plains and desert. Sun-washed and warm, this palette can be seen in the baked clay canyons, worn leather and woven wool blankets of the true New West.
INFLUENCERS CAREFREE BOHEMIAN MODERN COWGIRL UNBRIDLED ADVENTURE SOUTHWESTERN TWIST
Paint Colors:

ORIGAMI WHITE SW 7636 (259-C3) CAVERN CLAY SW 7701 (290-C6) MOTH WING SW 9174 (249-C4) BAKED COOKIE SW 9098 (202-C5) DARK CLOVE SW 9183 (277-C4)DISTANCE SW 6243 (224-C6) CARAMELIZED SW 9186 (291-C4

AFICIONADO Devotees of the best in life appreciate the well-worn, the bespoke and the rare. Like a bookcase of leather-bound classics, this polished palette evokes nostalgia and timeless tradition. With copper and gold anchored by merlot and deep dark gray, these tailored tones make everything feel impeccable, tasteful and elegant.
INFLUENCERS READING NOOKS BRITISH ACCENTS TWEEDY MENSWEAR 60’S NOSTALGIA

ANCESTRAL GOLD SW 6407 (144-C1) ALAEA SW 7579 (276-C1) DRY DOCK SW 7502 (250-C6) WHEAT PENNY SW 7705 (287-C6) CHARCOAL BLUE SW 2739 (253-C4) MERLOT SW 2704 (276-C7) GRANDIOSE SW 6404 (143-C6

ENTHUSIAST There are those who don’t know the meaning of “less is more.” Passionate and eclectic, they have a calling to be unique. They embrace the details and create scene-stealing worlds that burst with beauty. The proof is in this palette that features bold pops of vivid color, maximum impact and lots of energy.
INFLUENCERS MAXIMALISM COZY CHAOS OVER-THE-TOP OPULENCE MORE IS MORE
Paint Colors:

NATURALIST Walking barefoot in the garden, nature lovers instantly connect with the wonder of the world in full bloom. With roots in the forest, this palette’s colorful tendrils grew in hothouses and conservatories until they became these lush, sophisticated tones. Ranging from mushroom to leafy green to passionate floral pink, they’ve now found a place where they’ll never fade.
INFLUENCERS PRINTS BUTTERFLY COLLECTIONS TERRARIUMS
Paint Colors:

PRIMAVERA SW 9031 (148-C3) MISTY SW 6232 (222-C1) DARD HUNTER GREEN SW 0041 SHIITAKE SW 9173 (248-C1) FELTED WOOL SW 9171 (245-C4) DELIGHTFUL SW 6289 (109-C2) EROS PINK SW 6860 (105-C5)

RACONTEUR From ancient sagas to today’s motivational speakers, we love our storytellers. With colorful accounts they sum up our very nature and remind us how we’re all connected. Passed from grandmothers, traders and nomads, the tales traveled the world, gaining artistry, until we’ve translated them into a rich and modern palette that spans space and time.
INFLUENCERS DESERT OASES GLOBAL STYLE LUXURY SAFARIS SPICE MARKETS
Paint Colors:
Zebra-pattern wall hanging is nan

No matter what your budget shopping antique shopping can be a great source for unique one of a kind items. The pictures below are a sampling of some items that caught my eye.

So this is a product that I came across in Lowes that I think is worth showing off. How many people love the look of hardwood for the kitchen but cringe at the thought of damage, flooding etc. Well this product may prove to give you the best of both worlds. This product is called Style Selections Colonial Wood Pecan Floor Tile. It comes in 6 inch x 20 inch ceramic planks and is very durable and water resistant. It can be used for floors, walls, countertops. It is a great solution if you want the look of hardwood without the risk of damage.

I was asked to freshen up a master bedroom closet.  So off I went shopping and found this black chandelier at Lowes on clearance for under $50.00. We needed two and for that price I couldn't resist. The two beauties added the needed drama to her closet that the client was looking for. What would I do without my Lowes?

I recently came across this fabulous PS Maskros pendant lighting at Ikea. It is eco- friendly as the flower petals are made out of durable paper. What impressed me most was the presence this piece lends to a room. I loved it so much I designed a teen retreat with it. Take a look at the design board below. You can get this pendant in two sizes and the cost is very affordable at under $100.00. So if you're on a tight budget and your room needs a wow factor this pendant is a great deal.

The color I want to introduce you to today is Whythe Blue HC-143 by Benjamin Moore. It has a very soothing quality that is great for bedrooms, bathrooms, family rooms, and the list goes on. It looks fresh when paired with white and elegant when paired with espresso. Due to its versatility and ability to provide comfort and stability it was chosen as Benjamin Moore's Color Of The Year.

Flor Tiles Are Great For Any Room In Your House

What are Flor Tiles? They are an innovative system of carpet squares that you assemble to create custom rugs, runners, or wall to wall designs of any shape or size.

I have found that these carpet squares are very versatile. They can be used in pretty much any room in the house. Their best asset is the ability to change out just one carpet square if it gets damaged, which makes this flooring an excellent choice for families and people with pets.

The styles and patterns offered are numerous and can cater to any design style and because they can be custom designed, these carpet squares are one of my favorite flooring resources.

Try them out and let me know what you think.

Ciao,

Dana
