A Color-Inspired Win-WIn

I'm obsessed with color. And I have an inability to leave well enough alone. Which I'm constantly painting more walls. And i'm left with shelves of half empty paint cans. But latex paint can't be thrown away, so what do you do with it?? 

Turns out, there's a delightful, repurposing solution! Repcolite, at the Benjamin Moore store on Plainfield, takes old latex paint (that is odor-free and non-clumpy). The paint is then turned into new paint—a 50% recycled paint, called re-coat. The reprocessed paint is a environmentally responsible, top-quality, economical paint and it's available in 20 colors. 

It's an easy way to clean old buckets out of your basement and keep hazardess waste out of the landfill!

Trendy Tiles

Two summers ago I was lucky enough to admire the tiles at the Alhambra and the intricate patterns of Gaudí in person. When I returned, I noticed that Anthropolgie was using the intriguing sites, and their patterns and architecture as a backdrop for their photoshoot. 

Well where Anthropolgie goes, apparently others follow. It isn't Spain, but the tile trend is showing up in all sorts of catalogs. I noticed it this month in both Free People and Banana Republic. The bright, colorful detailing is perfect for summer. 

And since everyone loves a colorful accessory pop. So the style transcends the background and appears right in the product!

Not a shock to find McD's on the Burger of the Week. But check out their chalk billboard—hand drawn twice a day in Warsaw, Poland. It's a difference view of McDonalds.

JCP Universe

JcPenney's has been on a ride lately. But personally, every time I go in there, i'm more and more impressed. And nothing is more eye-catching or impressing than Pantone Universe—now available at the JCP.
