Though many of the beautiful gifts being exchanged today come with a red silk lining, I thought it would be fun to share a beautiful "Silk Lining" of another kind.
Martha Stewart Living Paints' "Silk Lining" (#MSL021)
It is a luxurious, muted red with a hint of orange.
I discovered this beautiful color when my niece Molly signed the lease to her first apartment in NYC. She began planning how she was going to furnish her new place. I knew, with her taste, the apartment would be packed with style! She pulled together an eclectic mix of old and new furnishings - dusting off some pieces and giving them new life with a fresh coat of paint. I consulted with her on a few colors for the painted pieces to give her new home, with the standard netural walls, a little burst of fun.
I suggested this fabulous color by Martha Stewart Paints (available at Home Depot). Painting an old chest of drawers with "Silk Lining" in a high gloss finish helped add a little drama and warmth to the room. This color is simply GORGEOUS! I love how it adds wonderful contrast to the surrounding neutral walls.
Painting a piece of furniture can be a fun winter project. Painting it red in a high sheen can add a little glamour and wonderful, warm energy to your Valentine's Day!
