Sherwin-Williams 2014 Color of the Year


Hello paint lovers! I hope everyone is having a great week and gearing up for tomorrow. Sherwin-Williams has just announced their 2014 color of the year – Exclusive Plum. It’s a grayish purple that could be used in many different rooms and environments, some of which you will see in their infographic below.  I think it would look awesome in a powder room or small bathroom. I love the one they have pictured below. So if you are wanting something different but not sure what, Exclusive Plum might be your answer. Have a wonderful weekend, please be safe in your travels and Happy Thanksgiving!

My Top Ten "Turquoise" Paint Colors

Happy Friday everyone! Today I am sharing with you my favorite blue/green, or "turquoise" paint colors. I was looking through my paint decks trying to help a friend who was looking for the perfect turquoise the other day and realized there are so many I love. So I wanted to share them with you today. These blues are super popular right now and look great as accents, in bedrooms, bathrooms, laundry rooms, cabinets, book cases – you name it! If you check out the blue section on the left hand side, you can see that there are a TON of them. 210 blues to be exact, our most popular color here at FPC. So if you are feeling a little overwhelmed and are wanting to paint something the perfect blue/green - then here are my top 10 picks. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Ours is going to be filled with football and Thanksgiving preparations. Can't wait! What about you, any fun plans this weekend? See you back here next week.

Also, just a reminder that Sherwin-Williams is having 40% off of their paint and stains this weekend. By far their best sale. So if you are planning on doing some painting soon, now would be a great time to buy. AND they have a $10 off $50 coupon here to make it an even sweeter deal. Remember they color match other brands, too. I posted about it on facebook a few days ago as well, so if you haven’t “liked” FPC yet, I would love you to come on over so you don’t miss out! Have a terrific weekend! I’ll be back next week with more inspiration.
