color story: rootbeer.

vintage modern kitchen with pops of brown, copper and wood. / sfgirlbybay

this week’s color story is brought to you by good old fashioned rootbeer — the kind that you mix with vanilla ice cream and end up with a delicious summertime treat — the drink of childhood memories everywhere, the much-beloved rootbeer float. rich, creamy with a lovely brown fizz, that’s what we’ve got going on for you today. brown sometimes gets a bad rap (it is not broing) and it’s really just a natural — found in nature, in beautiful wood tones, velvets and leather. whether on your body or in your home, you can’t lose with rootbeer brown.
