His description of the multitude of choices that one faces at the paint store when trying to make a selection describes the confusion from all the possibilities quite well. I think it is not unlike choosing from an a-la-carte, gourmet-food menu, in the sense that there are so many choices and things to consider that even though you&#8217;d like to try them all, it&#8217;s often too overwhelming to narrow the field. (This is usually when I get called in by a client.) His sentiment, <em>&#8220;When it comes to painting a room, it&#8217;s more than matching a paint chip to a petal&#8211;color alone isn&#8217;t going to capture the beauty of a rose. A finish brings magic to the color,&#8221;<\/em> is a quote worth repeating to every client I meet.

As it turns out and it shouldn&#8217;t be all that surprising, our Colonial ancestors were &#8220;<em>flashier than we thought.<\/em>&#8221; Actually, using bright colors was not only a way to spruce up one&#8217;s interior and make a statement with bold color but also express wealth &#8212; in being able to afford because the pigments were expensive to produce. It seems like making statements with bold color is timeless as choices tend to be going in this direction again. I also find it interesting that a high gloss finish is making a comeback. I love it&#8217;s reflective quality.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4061\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4061\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4061 size-full\" title=\"HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-2.jpg\" alt=\"HB_9-10 Coloring History on casartblog 2\" width=\"325\" height=\"432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-2.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-2-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4061\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Beautiful, History of True Colors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I&#8217;m lucky to live so close to many of these historical places to view these early interior colors in person. Mt. Vernon, George Washington&#8217;s home is right down the street (parkway rather) from me. It&#8217;s not in this article, but as a decorative painter, I always found it amusing and intriguing that our first President was practical enough to use trompe l&#8217;oeil painting of faux stone on part of the outside of his mansion rather than the real thing. This was the more economical route to take, however, he still wanted the more expensive look of a stone facade.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4062\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4062\" style=\"width: 325px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4062 size-full\" title=\"HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-3.jpg\" alt=\"HB-9-10 Coloring History on casartblog 3\" width=\"325\" height=\"411\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-3.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.casartcoverings.com\/casartblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/HB_9-10_ColorHistory_casartblog-3-237x300.jpg 237w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4062\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">House Beautiful, History&#8217;s True Colors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I visited Frank Lloyd Wright&#8217;s famous Fallingwater site for the first time last fall and it was a remarkable setting.
