Fallingwater Colors from PPG

If you’re a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater like I am, you’re going to love the Fallingwater paint palette from PPG. 

Fallingwater, the amazing home located in the Allegheny Mountains in Southwestern Pennsylvania was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935. This home was built as a mountain retreat for the Edgar J. Kaufmann family. 

PPG created this collection of 13 different shades from the amazing hues seen throughout this famous home and its surroundings. Lynda Waggoner Vice President and Director of Fallingwater describes these colors as “restful yet intense”.

Color Personality

Do you find you struggle to determine a style or color scheme for your home? Often times I have clients that think they want one thing, but after meeting and beginning to work with them realize we need to tweak those colors to make them ultimately happy in the space. 

PPG has this great Color Sense Game that I recommend you try. You simply answer some questions such as; what color do you respond to most? What word best describes you?

The result is a recommended paint palette in PPG colors.

DRY ERASE COATING FOR YOUR WALLS

It all started with black chalkboard paint. I was designing it into craft rooms, scrapbook rooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, kids' rooms and more. What a great way to make special notes, list menus or even leave a funny drawing. After this came even more excitement with chalkboard paint in COLOR! 

Well, now we can have even more fun! 

Sherwin Williams has gone a step further and has a Dry Erase Coating!

Just think of the possibilities with this product in kids' rooms, craft rooms and more! It's a simple coating that should be applied by a professional painter that simply turns your painted wall into a dry erase board! Brilliant! It goes right on top of your color and wipes clean with no "ghosting". 

Go ahead and let your kiddos draw on the wall with this fun coating!

As you may know, I’m a big fan of Sherwin Williams paint. They have amazing colors and their paint covers beautifully. Their website is even a great help for me when designing. You can find all sorts of help in selecting just the perfect color.

Now that you've selected just the right color and you’re ready to paint, it's time to figure the quantity of paint to purchase. SherwinWilliams now has a Paint Calculator that is AWESOME! 

Start by selecting whether it is an interior project or an exterior project. Then decide if you want a quick estimate by calculating wall space only, or the custom estimate which also takes into consideration the trim work and other details. Continue entering in information such as wall height, quantity of windows, baseboard height and…..Voila! You have a calculated amount of paint required for the project!
