A Natural Beauty: Plum Love
Even though the leaves were turning, it was still warm enough for Megan to open a window in her loft to enjoy some fresh air while she painted the inside and the outside of her bowl. Exclusive Plum (SW 6263) adds a soft touch of color that won’t overwhelm the small piece.

A Dresser Re-loved: Step 5
Now to add some bold color… On its own, Exclusive Plum (SW 6263) is an elegant shade that can be used in any room (it is the Color of the Year, after all!), but pair it with Tricorn Black, and it makes a real statement against a dark frame. The short-handled brush came in handy again to get into the beautiful scrollwork on the faces of the drawers.
Drawers have a natural frame around them, so choosing a contrasting or complementary color can make them stand out. Just make sure the color combo you choose adds to the room you’ll be using it in.
