    Dare to live colorfully

    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.

    We give a hoot…

    Roots. There’s always that something special about your roots—where it all began. As you might know, Company C started in New Hampshire out of the owners’ garage, and today we continue to run our corporate offices and design studio out of the Granite State. As a salute to our roots, we recently partnered with New Hampshire Audubon Society, an organization with the mission to protect New Hampshire’s natural environment for wildlife and for the people. It was a perfect match: It’s our mission every day to enhance people’s surroundings and inspire them to share the joys of Colorful Living (and we like to do this through more than just home furnishings). Especially in the autumn, New Hampshire’s landscapes transform into an inspirational palette of colors and textures. Company C values its beautiful home; it made perfect sense to contribute to maintaining its beauty…

    Selecting Paint Color…

    As any homeowner will tell you, selecting the perfect paint color is difficult. And the size of the paint swatch really doesn’t help! Thankfully, C2 Paint started making an oversized paint swatch (7x the normal size)! Hopefully, the other paint companies will start following suit. But there are so many factors that come into play when making paint selections including amount of natural light, ceiling color, type of flooring, etc.  To make your job a little bit easier….we’re making a few suggestions using our Benjamin Moore swatch kit.

    Tapestry with Chips SMTapestry: Go bold with Maple Leaf Red or keep things a bit more neutral by selecting Desert Tan.

    A Pet-Inspired Holiday…

    We recently launched a collection of holiday pillows and accent rugs. The majority of the products in the collection are inspired by pets, more specifically by dogs. Not being a dog-owner myself, I went to the design team to learn more about the inspiration behind this new collection. I probably should note that all four members of the design team are dog owners.

    Here are the comments that I received when asking why they’re so inspired by their dogs. We’d love to hear your feedback as well! Are you inspired by your pet? Tell us about it! Read the rest of this entry »

    Share your passion for pink!

    We recently announced that we’ll donating 15% of ALL sales on October 17 & 18 to breast cancer awareness, education and advocacy. Our goal is to contribute funding for research that could improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This life-threatening disease continues to have an impact across the globe and here at home. We’re inspired to find new and innovative ways to get involved as we dream of a world without cancer.

    To publicly show our support, our retail stores and showroom in High Point, NC will display an interactive message board during the month of October. The boards were unveiled today! We’re inviting everyone to share the passion of pink…our guests are encouraged to write on the wall: a tribute to a close friend or family member, your own personal story, a donation in your name to a terrific cause or what pink means to you. If you’re unable to make it to a Company C retail location or the High Point, simply respond to this blog post and we’ll write the message on your behalf. Interactive Baord

    We’ll also be promoting our Sachi Pink 2×3 accent rug. This rug is available year-round with 20% of the sale of each rug going to support breast cancer.

    For those interested in learning more about breast cancer, please visit one of the following web sites. If there are additional sites that you’d like to share, please let us know.
