Tuesday Huesday: Thanksgiving Blues

Thanksgiving can be an interesting time of year when it comes to decorating. Many people tend to stay very traditional and decorate using the normal fall colors, yellow, brown, and orange. But how about trying to incorporate some non-traditional colors within your Thanksgiving decorations? Take a look at this Thanksgiving table spread. It is from Lonny Magazine. I love the use of the blues, and gold tones within this table design. Normally blue is not a color you see within Thanksgiving decor. So with Thanksgiving right around the corner think about incorporating some non-traditional colors into your decorating palette.

This palette was created using FolkArt acrylic paint colors:#524 Calypso, #684 Medium Orange, #641 Brilliant Blue, and #905 Buttercup

Tuesday Huesday: Halloween Living Room Decor

Many people often assume that you can only use Halloween themed colors to create scary or Halloween only decorations. Well I am here to help inspire you to use traditional Halloween colors, to decorate your interiors with. I recently stumbled across this living room on a blog called, Modern Design. Look at how unique and different this living room is. I was amazed by the colors used to decorate this room. It looks so vibrant and modern. These colors I normally would only see during the Halloween and fall season, but clearly after seeing this room, colors such as these can be used to decorate all year round.

This palette was created using FolkArt acrylic colors: #627-Tangerine, #508-Orange Poppy, #416-Dark Brown, and #2241-Apple Orchard

Tuesday Huesday: Add A Pop of Color

Whenever you feel that you need a change to any room, why not try adding a pop of color to it? It may seem a bit odd to some, but believe me it is a very hot trend right now. This trend can be seen in many different design houses and publications. Why not try this trend out for yourself. If I was going to add a pop of color to the room of my choice it would be to my bedroom. Ideally I would like to try something similar to this room. This room was found on a website called, New York Spaces. The hot pink wall really adds some punch to this room. It is modern and chic. This color palette is very unique and interesting. I love that bright hues, and paired with the classic colors of black and white. Have you ever only painted one wall a different color than the rest?

We created this color palette using FolkArt Acrylic paints, #901 Wicker White, #634 Hot Pink, # 925 Wrought Iron, and # 503 Yellow Citron.

Tuesday Huesday: 2011 Fall Fashion Colors


Autumn is fast approaching , and with a new season comes new fashion trends and colors. This year there are several new fall color trends. This fall fashion palette from the Pantone Fall Color Report, is a nice mixture of warm colors with cool metals. The mixture creates an even balance between the tones, and there is also a hint of romance that can be seen in this palette.

Bamboo, a surprising fall hue, brings a warm, exotic flavor to the season. Bamboo is a standout yellow with a subtle green undertone.

Emberglow, a traditional autumnal tone, emanates the warmth of a glowing fire – the perfect panacea to the crisp air of fall. Add a spark with shoes or a handbag in Emberglow, or perhaps a patterned scarf combining purpled Phlox or Deep Teal.

Honeysuckle, adds a bold punctuation point. This playful, reddish pink works with any other color in the palette. Flirtatious and festive, Honeysuckle produces a healthy glow – great for cosmetics and holiday soirees.

Phlox, a magical, deep purple with a hint of mystery, is an outstanding statement when worn on its own.

Cedar, is a versatile, mid-tone neutral green.

Deep Teal, a strong, blue-toned green, suggests ocean depths and the color of the sky as daylight descends into darkness.

Coffee Liqueur, brings a sense of elegance to fall, and is a savory alternative to basic black.

Nougat, is a deliciously warm camel tan.

Orchid Hush, a unique tone of gray with complex orchid undertones, blends well with any other color in the palette.

Quarry, a reliable medium gray that is a dependable staple.

We created this color palette using FolkArt Acrylic colors, Lemon Custard # 735,  Graffiti Pink #2504, Tickled Pink #319, Violet Pansy #440, Italian Sage #467, Teal #405, Bark Brown #2560, Country Twill #602, Boardwalk Blue #2487, Skyline #2499.
