Happy New Year! Many of us have had a rollercoaster of a year and are happy to see it end. Every year Pantone announces their "Color of the Year" for the new year. This year come with not one, but TWO colors that very accurately represent the time we're in.

Most people don't specifically realize that there is an official color of the year. The way you'll see this is usually reflected in marketing campaigns, clothing, and retail wares. Companies utilize these popular colors to stay on trend and unite their visions.

Because of the trends in retail, home designs trends also follow the popular color of the year. You have a lot of freedom in how you use them - as much or as little as you want! Ultimate Gray is a fantastic neutral that would work well in any home. 

Yellow helps to brighten any room. It works especially well in rooms without a lot of natural lighting to bring a sense of sunshine into the space. Bright colors are best incorporated in ways that are easily updated - pillows, rugs, accessories, to name a few. If you're feeling daring - buy a statement piece of furniture to really add a pop!

Illuminating and Ultimate Gray are two fantastic color options no matter what year it is. Take a look the next time you're in a store and see how many times you can spot them!

Recently we wrapped up a minor commercial renovation to a local shop in Lakeville, MA. Coordinating with a structural engineer, we helped to capture the scope of work that included the addition of a new roof line to accommodate larger garage door bays and clear span work space.

A fantastic client who was patient through the process while we waited for detailing, the owners are hoping to get started in the spring and get their operations enhanced by end of the year.

​If you’re a crafty person, you know how many tools and accessories come along with the hobby. Finding a spot in your home is not only key to taming the clutter, but also giving you an area to let your creativity flourish.
