October is known to be the spookiest month of the year. When the skies become dark and haunted, we are surrounded by witches’ hats and Halloween bats. Hazy fog, spiderwebs, and ghostly spirits fill the air. All this chill is offset by the sweet spice of seasonal pumpkins, the pop of autumn colors in the leaves, and the sugary candy corn treats we love to eat. These October hues; Broadway PPU18-20, Smoky White BWC-13, and Maple Glaze PPU3-16, are representative of just that.
As the air gets cooler, enjoying the last few warm nights outside is a must. This means we want to pay extra attention to our exterior. Broadway is a deep slate shade of black that adds a vast amount of visual interest. This hue updates the typical Farmhouse style with a modern twist. Adding Maple Glaze to the door is just the right amount of color to draw attention to the entry. The combination of these three colors will have your home looking festive.
Getting plenty of rest is important as always. In this bedroom the brick was painted Smoky White and upper wall Broadway. The white color freshens up what once was a traditional look, while the black evokes more of a classic feel. With the addition of black bell pendant light, wood floors and modern styling, the overall feel is fresh and classic – a space that will comfort you after a night of ghost stories with your family.
The combination of Maple Glaze and Broadway make a statement in this bathroom. This combination pairs well with the gold and white accents. The orange glow enhances the slate gray making a statement that is rich with character.
Porches serve as a transitional area between the indoors and outside world. It is the perfect place to gather as we celebrate the fall holiday with social distancing and drive-by festivities. We want a safe place to sit that is warm and welcoming. This home surrounded by Smoky White and added details in Broadway give the porch the comforts we need to keep the normalcy in our lives.
