Fabulous Friday Favorites - Neutral Paint Edition

Paint, paint, paint.........it can be one of the hardest decisions in decorating your space, BUT can make the biggest and most amazing difference.

Paint sets the tone, mood and atmosphere in your space. There are cool colors that have a calming effect (blue/green/violet), warm colors can make a space feel smaller (red/orange), colors that make you want to eat (red), and colors that make babies want to cry (yellow). So, it's very important that you choose the right color for the right space.

Today in my Fabulous Friday Favs, I list some of my favorite "go to" neutrals.

These neutral tints can provide a feeling of openness. They bring style, sophistication, and glamour.
Plus, you can accent with any color and it will work.

1. Perfect Greige - Sherwin-Williams - SW 6073. Perfect naturally neutral gray that is a perfect complement to white.

2. Hazy Skies - Benjamin Moore - OC 48.  A beautiful but subtle gray.

3. Manchester Tan - Benjamin Moore - HC 81. This is a neutral on the khaki side that is classic and elegant.

4. Grant Beige - Benjamin Moore - HC 83. This is a timeless color that can be used in a traditional space as well as a contemporary space.

5. Agreeable Gray - Sherwin-Williams - SW 7029. For interiors or exteriors. It's in the cool neutral family and gives a soft look that looks great with wood floors.

6. Revere Pewter - Benjamin Moore - HC 172. A light gray with warm undertones that creates a unifying look and is calming. It's great for open floor plans.

Next week we will talk about some bright colors to light up your life.

Have a fabulous Friday!!

Friday Fabulous Favorites - It's Fall Ya'll

Fall is my favorite time of the year. I love the leaves changing colors, I love sweaters and boots, I love candy corn, I love any hot drink with caramel in it, and I love me some football.

That brings me to this weeks Friday Fabulous Favs - It's Fall Ya'll Edition.

Decorating pumpkins can be fun for the kids and even more fun for the crafty adults.

Above you see a canning jar ring pumpkin made from the screw on lids of mason jars....www.yellowblissroad.com.

The carved gold tribal pumpkins are a great twist to your traditional jack-o-lantern face...www.tatertotsandjello.com

And, you can always paint your pumpkins with a trendy chevron or dot pattern.

The branch lamp is by Nate Berkus from Target and sells for $60.

The must have Aztec Alpaca Wool Throw is from Ilovelinen.com $120.00

Get yourself a chunky sweater and some ankle boots and you will be ready for fall.

Now, bring on the chilly weather and sit back and listen to Carrie Underwood sing "Waiting All Day for Sunday Night".

Happy "almost" Fall Ya'll.

Trust in the Lord

This week is the start of a new school year. Not only for the kiddos, but for me as well. I start my 3rd semester in Interior Design School on Friday.

The classes that I will be taking are:

Construction Methods and Materials
Building Codes
Commercial/Contract Design
Design Products
Sociology

16 hours but thankfully two of those classes are online and I will still be working with Jenn Britt Design as well. Busy, busy, busy.

The kiddos started school Tuesday.

The yearly verse for Wake Christian Academy is Proverbs 3:5-6.
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight".

This is not only the school's yearly verse, but has become the The Britt family yearly verse as well. In the season we are in right now, we are truly trusting in the Lord each day. This verse also reminds us of our dear friend, Linda Aikens. She use to quote this verse to our youth group all the time. I can still hear her saying it and it brings a smile to my face.

We are so very thankful for Wake Christian and that our kids get to go to a school that is teaching them to Trust in the Lord! Jake's teacher cried during orientation because she was thankful for the great group of kids that she gets to teach. Jake already loves her and we are thrilled with both Allie and Jake's teachers.

Allie 8th grade, Jake 3rd grade, and the banner I designed hanging in the elementary hallway.

Phil and I will be volunteering every chance we get at the school. Phil already serves on the Franklin Pierce Educational Foundation board, which provides financial assistance to families in need and he is the announcer for the MS boys soccer games for the fall. We know the importance of volunteers and we want to serve!!

....and He will make your paths straight.
