Wallpaper Book of the Month Jan 2011

Seabrook’s Antonina Vella “Dolce Vita”

By Marcey Pillow – Decorating Consultant
Texas Paint & Wallpaper – North Dallas
 
Every year, Pantone, the world-renowned authority on color, announces the next year’s hottest color. 2010’s Turquoise, still running strong in wallcovering and paint selections, is about to share the spotlight with Honeysuckle.
 
No, it’s not a yellow.
 
That was my first thought as well. Think vibrant, energetic, bold pink. Think courage, tenacity, and the ribbons from breast cancer awareness campaigns. Without even seeing the color, I am already in love with it.

Easy Faux Finishes

Faux Finishing Today

By Gene Lemons
Texas Paint & Wallpaper
 

Faux finishing is historical, decorative, unique and a current decorating explosion!

The current use of faux finishing reveals many facets of an individual’s lifestyle. The use of dark and light hues along with metallic and pearlescent glazes produces a beautiful and inexpensive finish that will make your family and friends amazed.

Everyone is searching for a unique identity – for their home, apartment, and office environment. Decorating walls, furniture, doors and cabinets with a faux finish satisfies that craving for distinctiveness, like no other decorating style has.

When faux finishes are combined with using wallpaper, there can conceivably be no end to this decorating explosion of textures, colors and special effects.

Pottery Barn 2010 Winter Colors

Available at Texas Paint & Wallpaper

Look for the Pottery Barn™ Winter 2010 color displays, available now through January 2011, from Pottery Barn™ and Benjamin Moore and available at Texas Paint & Wallpaper. These colors are available in 2-oz wet paint sample jars and 18″ x 18″ jumbo dry samples as well.

The wet samples can be brushed onto your walls with a sponge brush to display the actual paint color when dry. The 18″ x 18″ dry paint samples will provide a fast and convenient way to move the color around the room, or the entire house to make your final color selection based on morning, noon-day and evening lighting in your home.

You will need to make your final selection of color in person, and not online. Color needs to be selected based on how it appears in your home, in your lighting, with your furnishing and in your surroundings. Don’t depend on a computer monitor because it cannot show the true color of paint, as it needs to be viewed.

May we suggest that you print the convenient list of color selections on this page and bring them with you when you shop with us at your local Texas Paint & Wallpaper store, and let us help you coordinate your New Year decorating ideas with these beautiful and bold paint colors, exclusively from Pottery Barn™ and Benjamin Moore Paint Company, and available at your local Texas Paint & Wallpaper paint and decorating center. 

But, if you would like to see the colors online, please use the official Benjamin Moore Pottery Barn 2010 Winter Colors Website.
