There’s a new paint line available in Atlanta. And for someone as obsessed with color as I am, I’m not sure that’s a good thing! Especially since I just repainted! On my way home today, I stopped into the Jerry Pair & Associates showroom at the Atlanta Decorative Arts Center (a to-the-trade complex open to design professionals and their clients) to pick up a fabric swatch I’m considering for two chairs I bought this past weekend at Scott Antique Market. While I was there, I ran into Jerry Pair Vice President Barbara Brown who showed me the new paint line they are representing called Stark Paint (it’s from the same venerable company that owns Stark Carpet). The palette is just gorgeous and is created in conjunction with London-based color specialist David Oliver. Since I literally popped into the showroom right at closing, that’s all the information I could gather. Oh, and that it is a low-VOC line. Click here to read more about it.

Since it’s almost spring (therefore I need a house project), I have decided to paint 75 percent of the interior of my house. I owe a debt of gratitude to designer Amy Morris for the color inspiration stolen right off the walls of the bedroom she did at AH&L‘s 2009 Christmas House. The paint color, Amazing Gray by Sherwin-Williams, was my favorite in the entire Christmas House. I am going to try something different with the chair rails and crown mouldings, though—rather than painting them a different shade than the walls, I am going to paint them the same color, but with varying finishes, eggshell to gloss, to create definition. I can’t wait to see it all finished!
