Beautiful Brown


<>I love the combination of a rich chocolate brown with white. There is something reassuring and comfortable about deep brown. It's not taupe or beige, it's espresso, chocolate fondue, buckhorn, willow, night owl, hedgehog, saddle leather, warm brownie, cocoa, earth, pumpernickel, root beer, auberge, java, mink, brown sugar, pine cone, bittersweet chocolate, mississippi mud, caviar, black bean soup (All Benjamin Paint Colors).

Patricia, Your design work is taking my breath away. I want you to know that you are really, really, really talented. 'Class' & 'Comfort' oozes from your rooms. Bravo. Loving the brown & white. p.s. Thank you for your lovely comments on my blog.

Brown is one of my favorite colors too. I just used that west elm rug in a children's playroom for a clinet. Great "hide factor". Nice post!

It's hard to choose a favorite!

When we got married in the early 80s we started out life with a chocolate brown suite. I loved it - but as the years went by - I hated it. Finally we replaced it with a cream suite - but I have come full circle - and I LOVE chocolate brown again!

For some reason I have been in a Brown phase for a while now - both my bedroom and living room have had lots of brown added to them - and I can't wait to have the opportunity to paint a wall brown!
Great post!

I absolutely ADORE brown as an interior color. It is so versatile to be paired with many different colors and is so rich and inviting.

Brown is my other all time favorite hue. I painted my office in chocolate brown. My favorite are the lacquered brown walls in one of your collection of photos. Just stunning! Brown can match with so many other colors.

Hello-
I am currently attending school for interior design. I have a paper to write on a designer that is an inspiration to me. I have chosen to do my report on you. I love your work and it is a great inspiration to me. However, I cannot seem to find enough information on you to write my paper. I thought I would give this a try to see if you would be able to provide me with more information. If you are able to do so, please contact me via email at: nick88rum@yahoo.com
Thank you very much for your time and I hope to hear back from you.
Nicole
