My Color of the Year Prediction was RIGHT
Yes, I was right. A few months ago I speculated that lilac was going to be the 2014 color of the year, and let's just face it, I know what I'm talking about. ;) Technically, it's PANTONE 18-3224 Radiant Orchid. If you like the color, it will soon become available as a paint color selection at Lowe's stores nationwide. What did I think about it then, and what do I still think about this selection now?

Local Artist Spotlight: Peyton Avrett
Just recently I ran across some work by a talented local artist and craftsman - Peyton Avrett. I was completely blown away by this custom chandelier in Aged Silver Leaf: This custom Sawyer Chandelier stands 5' tall. [br]But, this image just sparked my investigation. I had to find out more about the people who made such a unique light fixture. And, sure enough, they were from Charleston! Peyton works with Avrett, who makes handcrafted furniture, lighting and accessories, and they've been gracing historic Charleston with beautiful pieces for more than 30 years.
