We DARE you. Go ahead, defy the social norm. Dare to live colorfully. Here at Company C, we challenge ourselves every day. It’s easy to get caught up in mundane day-to-day activities. It’s hard to put down your Blackberry. Time eludes us all. We know. That’s why we dare you to unearth and truly embrace Colorful Living.
Sara Joncas - Create Your Own Adventure
In January, we announced a Facebook contest asking you, our fans, to post a photo and short description illustrating what Colorful Living means to you. What a refreshing few weeks we’ve had here at Company C! Through reading your posts, we reaffirmed that we all share the same vision–to be inspired by the joys of Colorful Living every chance we can. Thank you for being so bold!
All that said, it was very difficult to choose a winner because there were so many uplifting responses. Not to mention that Colorful Living is meant to be personal; each one of us sees the world through a different lens and has a different outlook on life. Our focus was on the posts that embodied Colorful Living as a lifestyle. So, drum roll please…
Mary Kate Goodwin-Kelly - Go out on a Limb
The winner of the 6′ x 9′ rug of choice is Sara Joncas, who believes “Colorful living is… Creating your own adventure.”
And drum roll again…so many posts were so inspiring that we couldn’t help but choose runners up, who will receive a 2′ x 3′ accent rug of choice:
Mary Kate Goodwin-Kelly “Living colorfully entails going out on a limb every once in a while.”
Brenda - Energy for Creativity
Brenda “Every day, I have authentic color in my life. I am an art teacher of young children. Through their artwork and their energy for creativity, I am happily surrounded by color!”
Make Colorful Living your standard. We dare you.

When they open the door to one of our retail stores—whether Concord, Portland or Hingham—or at one of our wholesale showrooms, they stop for a minute, look around, take a breath and say “wow!” As Co-founder and Design & Creative Director, this is my favorite thing to witness, over and over again. It means we’ve been successful at creating an exciting shopping experience—causing a desire to explore more!
Sometimes, after a customer has walked through the store, they’ll ask, “so much color, how can I get this in my home?” and “Where do I begin, my house is all beige?” and “I have mostly brown, red and gold, how do I incorporate color?” I love hearing this—we’ve ignited a fire in their imaginations.
look on your floor and in your own light—day and night. Pick out the one that you’re ready to build your room around. You cannot go wrong if you love the colors. Freshen up with colorful trend accents such as pillows, throws and decorative accessories that are easier to freshen up after a few seasons.
