Gorgeous Grays

If you were to survey 100 people on their favorite color, we are willing to bet that you won't get more than one person! However unpopular gray is for a favorite color, it continues to gain traction as one of the hottest colors to use in your home!

While it is believed that a gray is achieved with a 50/50 blend of white and black, this is not always the case! Often, a gray is created with a blend of other colors. This becomes noticeable when redecorating a home; if you change the color of the sofa in your gray living room, it will appear as though you've painted the walls as well!

“[Gray] gives people the ability to change the mood of a space by changing the accent colors of small things like throw pillows and small rugs. Switch out a soft, calming blue for bright colors like red, yellow or orange and you add pop and action.” Scott Bodenner

#SolarSunday

Having a pool to cool off and relax in is a luxury that is especially nice during these hot summer months. But, like most luxuries in life, time, energy, and money must be put into owning a pool. One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector.
