modern paint techniques for 2013

A colourful wash is a great faux finish for the walls, try doing it as a band around the room instead of a whole wall.

Drip marks are fun and in a simply black and white, very classy.

This room features a beautiful Benjamin Moore paint technique, finished with vintage furniture…a romantic look.

For a funky modern look,  highlight a feature or area in a room with rolled out, rough edged design.

Visually expand the look of a room by using stripes or bands of colour.

Chevron is a very trendy pattern to use as a wall pattern.
Stencils are easy and with a continuous pattern looks like wallpaper.

A feature wall of waves is so fluid and fun, great idea for a kids bedroom.

Ceilings are never to be forgotten, the perfect place for an unexpected pattern.

Bold Gold

Have you ever wanted to add some glamour to your home, but not sure where and how to start?  Gold is an eye catching metallic that isn’t just for the wealthy, but can be luxuriously applied to your home too!

Gold leaf walls are luxurious and reflective, and can be pricey.  We suggest one focal wall to glam up your space, gold leaf or gold paint.

Gold leaf on a coffered ceiling or a powder room ceiling are stunning, reflective and elegant.

White and gold, what a beautiful pairing.

Gold grasscloth wallpaper on the ceiling and a few vases on the gold leaf coffee table, the perfect dose of gold.

Benjamin Moore Color of the Year 2013

We chose today’s topic to be pastel yellow, one of the emerging pastels of the future…the 2013 Benjamin Moore Color of the Year!

“Lemon sorbet is a perfect colour to begin invigorating change for 2013,” says Sharon Grech, Benjamin Moore Colour Expert. “Colour has the power to evoke a mood, and yellow, in its many variations, represents optimism and light for 2013.”

2019-60 Lemon Sorbet

We love it paired with watery blues…

Painting the outside of an old claw foot tub

Exciting, re-inventive and limitless colour options. Painting the outside of your claw foot tub is a lot easier than you many think.Once you clean the surface, you need to get a primer coat down as soon as possible. This is particularly true with a sandblasted tub. Exposed cast iron can begin to show signs of surface rust within hours of exposure.

We recommend having the claw foot tub feet sandblasted. They have so much detail that is so difficult to clean out and the results are almost always worth the extra effort to find a sandblaster. Again, make certain to get a primer coat on them as soon as possible to prevent rust from starting.

Find the colour you would like, we recommend using Aura or Regal for best results and durability.

Sarah Richardson is a queen of colour, you gotta love the way she pulls colour from accessories and fabric. This yellow is perfect for a fresh country bathroom.

If you aren’t ready to go wild with colour, try the ever classic black.

As seen in Urban Country Style, “Feel free to have fun with vintage pieces. In this bathroom, an old claw-foot tub was juiced up with orange paint for a more contemporary feel.”

Choosing an unexpected colour for the bathtub is refreshing, buy a few towels in that colour and it will tie it all together.

Pulling colours from your wallpaper is bold and sure to work.
