meet emma.

Today is a fun day for us because we get to share with you something new.  Something we have been working on for a few weeks now and that we hope you love as much as we do.  It's a new color. 

We call her Emma.  Lisa and I began discussing adding an emerald tone to our collection before the new year.   Almost immediately after Lisa started mixing, Pantone announced it as the color of the year.  Since then, we've been seeing emerald everywhere and we've been anxiously awaiting to add our own to the mix. 

Well, today it is ready.  Our take on emerald is strong, deep and beautiful.  It's the perfect color to bring a little intensity to your space.

Emma can be found in our home collection along with the other stunning colors of the Estate palette.  

   

   

  

I'm currently painting the stairs that lead to my office in this new color.  I can't wait to share the results with you. 

What would you use Emma for? 

A living room?

Dining room?

Your little one's nursery?

A fine piece of furniture?

black friday.

How many of you are braving the stores today? Or waited in line started before midnight to take advantage of the deals found on Black Friday?  I've never been brave enough to venture out on this day... and let's face it I am usually still recovering from a serious food coma.  But for those of you who partake in the tradition - I hope you packed leftovers!  

What else would we do on Black Friday then feature some rooms inspired by that very color.  Would we perhaps offer a deal of our own?  Scroll down to find out! 

It's all about black today...  in small doses and large.  I love the look of decorative black chairs given new life with a shiny coat of black.  

Love this black cabinetry paired with the wood wood tones of the floor and accessories...  I am always drawn to white in the kitchen, but the black feels just as fresh to me. 

A bold living pulled together with beautiful black walls...

I love this idea... the stairs, floors, banisters - all in black make the hallway feel grand. 

And finally...  black in the bath.  I adore this space. 

What about you?  Would you paint a piece of your home black?  

Well, we've got a deal for you if you're willing.  Today, in honor of Black Friday, you can receive a free quart of Vintage Tux (our seriously beautiful black, just faded enough) with your purchase of $50 or more.  Just enter the code upon checkout and it will be included in your order and shipped to your door.  So get painting!  

Use code: BLACKISBACK

We hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving!

one year old & 20% off!

As you all know, I am not yet a mother.  And while I do not have a baby, I do have this:

 

but now she looks more like this: 

because last night we celebrated her first birthday!!!  She has changed so much over the past few months, but hasn't lost her puppy charm (or energy!).  We started the day off with a birthday swim, her favorite activity, and then celebrated with a few new toys and a doggy cupcake.  Yes, she is spoiled and yes, we are those people.  At least we didn't dress her up in a birthday hat and have a doggy birthday party... or did we?

Anyway, today I wanted to do something slightly different and share with you some awesome birthday/milestone marker ideas that people have come up with - all using chalkboard paint: 

I love this idea...  listing the things your baby loves, does, etc. at different points in their life...  and how cute is baby Claire?!

Here's another take on the same idea... 

Same shot at different milestones, just change up the text...  

Keep track of that growing belly! 

And finally, the birth announcement. 

Now, what's the one thing all of these shots have in common?  The chalkboards are all black!  And while we love a black chalkboard, the really wonderful about our chalkboard paint is that you can order it in ANY of our colors.  And even better?  Our paint is organic, completely non-toxic, and safe for both you and baby.  

If those sweet little baby (and puppy!) faces aren't worth going organic for, what is? 

Today, we are offering 20% off all chalkboard paint products.  Pick your color and get creative!!

Merry Monday and Mother's Day Gift Ideas

Good Morning all and a Merry Monday to you!  After a week plus of rain and gray skies I woke up this morning to blue skies and sunshine.  And it feels so good!  Well, actually first I woke up at the hideous hour of 4 am to drive the boy to the train so he could catch a plane to San Francisco, the whole time willing myself to only wake up enough to make it safely there and back.  Then I crawled back in bed.  THEN I woke up to sunshine.  It's a beautiful day and we have a lot on our plate this week.  No time like the present to dive on in... 

But first we wanted to share with you some of our picks for Mother's Day gifts... 

And of course, up first is our very own paint:

Has your wife or mom been hinting about a painting project she wants completed?  Do you need to finish the nursery before little one arrives?  Now is the time.  Surprise her with the gift of a new room.  A coat of organic, VOC free paint is all it takes.  We have a great deal going on now for Mother's Day.  20% off all colors in the nursery line, so don't delay.  Order today and you'll have it before the weekend! 

Mom is the Heart of our Home... 

 I am a firm believer that a beautiful card with a hand-written, meaningful note from the heart inside goes a long way.  You can get this one on etsy. 

Here's a beautiful gift for those professional, polished moms out there who spend a lot of time at their desks:

We love this two-tone leather mouse pad.  It's feminine and tough at the same time. 

And finally for the mom who loves to decorate:

We adore Angella Eisman Designs... she does both scarves and pillows made from old cashmere and wool sweaters.  We particularly love her rosette, ombre pillows like this one. 

Enjoy!!  And don't forget to take advantage of our great mother's day deals!!  20% off and an additional 5% if you like us on facebook and share our page with your friends!!
