Guest Blogger: CC, Just Say No to naked walls

Speaking of wall colors-I miss the paint I labored over picking in my house I just moved out of. All that time looking at paint chips and buying test samples! I’m a big fan of Sherwin Williams colors, especially neutrals like Crushed Ice (pictured in my living room), Mannered Gold and Navajo White.

The Makeover Has Begun

It’s been a little less than a month since the better half and I moved into our first home and while we still have boxes to unpack and furniture to buy, we decided it was time to paint!

The living room/dining room and hallway will be receiving a coat or two (if needed) of Benjamin Moore’s Silver Fox. It’s a gray paint that changes dramatically as the lighting goes from natural sun to artificial lamp.

Here is a taste of what’s to come.

 

A Truly Unique Vase


Designer, Kris Lovett, has figured out a way to turn your finger print into a one-of-a kind 3D vase. Using a process called rapid-prototyping tech that “reads” your prints and converts them into a 3D object, Lovett has created the vase, “Embossed” and can create one for you as well.

Light Emitting Wallpaper

Wallpaper has come a long way in recent years. Once considered by many to be a decorating don’t this paint alternative has become a real designer do. Check out this Light Emitting Wallpaper that, when switched on, creates stunning moving works of art made out of lights embedded in the paper itself. When off, the walls look as if they are covered in plain wallpaper.

This illuminating product was created by Dutch designer Jonas Samson. Unfortunately, we don’t have any details such as price and availability because it is still just a concept.
