One Step Paint Colors: Greens and Yellow

Color palette inspiration is huge when working on a project whether it is a painting, room, piece of furniture... I have put together inspiration with using the One Step paint colors: Dunavant Green, Cherbourg, and the Mollie Yellow.

One Step Paint Color Palette: 

Inspiration:

I love the great contrast with the Dark Green walls with the lighter green chair and light lamp shade.

The touch of green here really adds to the neutral floral arrangement

Gardens are so inspiring and I love this look

The mix of tones

For a children's room or guest bedroom, I like the use of color on the headboard

The antiqued chest green chest adds character

What about adding color to your front door

Interesting composition of color occurring in nature

The dark green cabinets with the light floor

I love floor to ceiling curtains especially when they are in the same palette at the wall color

Featured Retailer: POP Studios

Our Featured Retailer this week is Pop Studio located in Temple Terrace, Florida owned by Melissa Treadway-Clements. I spoke with her about her store and she shared with me, "It’s rare that two talents combine from the same family and work creatively together. I along with my nephew, Russell Treadway, repurpose, paint and teach with Amy Howard Products. I compliment Russell who has crazy mad skills in designing, electrical, carpentry, and painting while I, who began as a decorative faux artist specialize in decorative wall finishes, Venetian plasters, lustrous metallic plasters , and old world finishes and have always had a gift for transforming old pieces into something new and fresh. One persons trash can be another’s treasure, we have been known to search far and wide for that unique piece to repurpose and love again."

Lacquer Color Inspiration

Color inspiration can come from many different places! I have pulled together a few images that I felt had great color and matched them with our Amy Howard At Home Lacquer color options.

Color Palette Inspiration

I love to use the One Step Paint colors to create a beautiful palette that you could use as inspiration for a room or space that you are decorating/painting. For this palette, I used the Toscana Sage, Rugo, and Credenza One Step Paint colors. 

Color Palette:

Inspiration:

Nature at the beach especially when you are looking for a calming palette

I love vintage items such as these glasses

Beautiful detail on an old French antique

Work space that has a very subtle blue.

Great mix of textures here with the Acrylic desk.

Simple touch of the blue painted chairs adds to the dining room environment

I love how the room is very neutral here but the couch has a great color pop!

Nice calm bedroom setting

This room looks more open with the addition of the Antique mirror but I love the neutral blue and cream tones that are used.

I hope you are inspired to start your own DIY Project!
