Historical Paint combinations that still work today, Cottage Paint, Thunder Bay, Ontario

Sometimes we can get all wrapped up in the latest trend in colour, or lack thereof, at the moment. You may be tempted to paint all your walls white, and grey, rip out all your carpets, and throw out most of what you own in Home decor. Trends are well, Tr-ends, the very word itself ends with -end. Trends end, they come and they go. Don't get caught in the Trend of the moment. If you're going to be in your house for the next 10 years or so, paint your walls with colours that make you happy. How happy will you be with drab, grey walls in the middle of winter? Don't be afraid to add some colour to your decor.  

Today we look back at Historical colours  - what was popular in early Virginian homes?  Board and Batten, Mouldings and trim painted in various hues, these all add interest to rooms. 

Someone confessed to me, the other day, that she had a thing for antique chairs, and collected them at auctions and yard sales. The green of the chairs stands out from the blue of the walls, yet it all works beautifully together. 

This is a wonderful example of a two-colour distress technique. One colour is layered over another, and then distressed. This gives a piece of furniture a wonderful, old patina. 

Visit our store, the Camellia to see Cottage Paint furniture charts, sample charts, and much more.  Yes you can buy Cottage Paint to try out. They come in 8oz.jars, quarts, and gallons.

Modern Fall floral decor

Does Fall decorating involve a lot of orange and rust...my home is neutral, and oranges just don't go with our home! Help!  Fall can be all neutrals, with touches of browns, with the addition of pieces of driftwood from the Lake, pine cones and other found treasures.

Neutrals don't have to be boring. Fall Floral designs add warmth and texture to your room. At #TheCamellia we have Ash rounds for sale, these are great as charger plates, decor pieces, and they serve as hot mats on your dining table. Add a bit of Olive oil to them to bring out the patterned wood rings. 

In this design, bits of cork and driftwood add interest & texture, and don't you just love the how the greys and browns and whitewashed pods blend seamlessly to provide a stunning accent for your Table. Stop in at #TheCamellia today to order your custom Floral for your Fall table.

What's involved in ordering a custom floral?  Measure your area in terms of height and width, bring in any paint or fabric swatches you have, come into The Camellia to choose your flowers and container, we get back to you with  a price, most custom orders will take about a week or so. 

Our popular flocked branches, a statement if you use them on your own, or as you see them here, with palm spears, pods, and wood flowers. 

Take your cue for Fall decor from the worn patina of this Brick exterior, on this stately Colonial home in upstate NY.  

Reds, rusts, burgundys and taupes look wonderful together. You can always punch up a neutral with a burst of RED!
