January always holds a little extra calm for me. It’s like a deep breath – after the holidays, after the family gatherings, after the cleanup. A lot of good has happened, and now there’s a fresh clean year in front of you. And you finally sit and relax and think about that.
How’s it looking from where you’re sitting now?
Color is my thing, so I think it’s important – but I’m not the only one, because even psychologically, color changes your mood and your view. January is the perfect time to freshen up your walls inside — and if you’re wondering what color will go with that restful feeling and the cup of cocoa in your hand, Sherwin Williams might have an answer.
They just released their Color of the Month for January: SW6039 Poised Taupe. They liked it so much it’s also the Color of the Year. I hope I can describe my 2017 as “poised,” but regardless, it’s definitely a good description of this earthy, cool tone taupe. It’s got enough purple undertones to give it a classy look that pairs well with silver, but it keeps enough warmth to bring out wood tones and sunshine.
Taupe does vary in tone depending on the light, so if you’re loving this color but aren’t sure what it would look like in your space, give me a call! Maybe painting isn’t your thing – that’s ok. We’re here to make your life easier, and still give you the paint makeover you’ve been dreaming of.
2017 is looking poised and classy already.
Love,
Katie
