poor brown. it can unfairly get such a bad rap. they say it’s boring, dull and passe, but i disagree, strongly! brown is earthy, bold and rich with a full range of woodsy tones that tend to make us feel really cozy, warm, and welcome. i think it’s finally getting its due though because i’m seeing quite a bit of brown in design lately. from beautiful handmade ceramics and textiles, to open beamed ceilings brown is getting some respect. this brown isn’t your grandma’s old kitchen cabinets but instead has a much more modern edge to it. so this week’s is celebrating no so boring brown.
