Paint my barn red...and blue...and green...



Colors are tricky. Why sure, I could google "color combos" or "decor palettes" or even "what stinkin color should I paint my living room?" but is that really going to satisfy the likes of this internet surfing professional? No. That does not satiate this faux-decorator. (oh and I did google that last one - yea - lots of color-confusion out there!)

But there is one site we girls can always go to for the cure to our hue blues. Yes - let's say it together...Potterybarn.com :)

So what color is the barn o' pots sportin these days? I am so glad you asked.

Gray + wood tones

White + Chartreuse

Rusty Orange + Chocolate

Navy + Marigold

Stormy Blue + Harvest Yellow

Muted Green + Honey

Maybe you need some inspiration for your office or maybe you would love to change the walls in the bath - whatever your conundrum, check out the Benjamin Moore colors for 2008 and see how those designer whiz kids run with it. So go ahead - grab ahold of the PB trend and paint your barn...er...room red or green or blue!

Oh and if you decide to change your drab to fab - please share with me the pics - I love seeing results (especially ones I don't have to lift a finger for!)

Love the last two pics. Clean and simple, yet still colorful.

This is exactly how I picked all the wall colors for our house... looking through the Pottery Barn catalog, taking it to the store and saying, "Make me this!" I'm happy I'm not alone!

Hello! I finally got to your blog but I am unable to get to the current ones now! This page only asks about going to previous ones - ARGHHH!! I wanted to enroll for the drawing for the picture book but alas I failed again! Oh, yeah - I like the silver, neutral combination at PB - tres' chic to me!! -Mom XXOO
