It's Thursday... Etsy Treasury Feature Day! oh..and one more day 'til friday.

Often we get ready for an update to our home, and usually it is one or two rooms at a time. We can get a little overwhelmed with where to start but we know we want a change. My first choice is always a color palette and paint. For me, it establishes a solid foundation on which to start. But I have had many friends who get nervous about color and end up selecting cream or white walls simply by default...and a little bit of fear.

One way to break into a more interesting group of options, if you are not quite ready for a broad or intense palette is to select one color and use multiple tones and many different textures. This will create a more layered look and will also add warmth and interest.

This is shown in the treasury featured today. I selected a beautiful warm gold color and simply added different tones as well as textures. It certainly represents a home I would love to live in! How about you? Do you have any rooms in your home that are based on one "foundational" color with selected tones and textures throughout the room?
