What's in a name?

Some call it "Robin Egg Blue"

...or "Tiffany Blue"...

...or "Aqua", its Latin name...

Green Blue when trying to describe it....

Around here, at the beach, many call it Sea Green...

...and depending on the shade, even Turquoise.

We just call it our favorite color of the Season and we are totally hooked!!

What color is your heart painted this Summer Season?...

Color Party!

Party Alert!

There is a Color Party today at 320 Sycamore and since Navajo White and Adobe White (our fave whites) are not very exciting to share... we decided to post Clara's fave accent color. We get so many emails asking the name and the brand used that here it is again...
You can check the entire post HERE,

The color used is "Staqua" from the Seaside Retreat Collection, Valspar. Availvable at Lowe's

From Marcela's house, we picked this yummy mellow yellow:
Shell Flower from Olympic

If you are thinking about re-painting a room or your whole house, this is a great opportunity to get inspired. Head over to 320 Sycamore and visit all the wonderful colors and the talented ladies behind them!
Happy painting!

Bad weather and good color!

Just a little imagination + just a little wall + just a little bit of paint + just a little need of something new + just a little bit of time + $20.00 = A big, big, change!!

In my Professional Opinion (I am a Psychologist after all...) the rainy weather we've been having in Southern California has also a lot to do with it...After days and days of rain, cold, wind and very grey skies, (all of this by Spoiled California standards, I know) the "Princess of all things white and shabby" was in need of some color. And she got it!! This is how Clara transformed her entry way: from white and fab to aqua and fab!!

She even got aqua candles... notice how the color reflects on the mirror accross the way...


To keep the "King of all things not-shabby" happy, she did it all in a budget:

Paint: $18.00 (Lowe's) The color is "Staqua" from the Seaside Retreat Collection, Valspar
Candles: $.99 (.99 Store)

Don't you love it???, I sure do!!... Too bad the bad weather didn't affect me that way, in my case, the formula was:
eat + watch TV = Extra weight :(

Have a wonderful weekend, full of family fun and finished projects!!
