    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.

    RugMark Launches New GoodWeave Label!

    Layout 1

    GoodWeave Label

    Congratulations to Rugmark on the launching its new GoodWeave label! We’ve been with Rugmark for four years this October and are excited to partner with them to promote the GoodWeave brand.

    For of those of you who are not familiar with RugMark, it offers a third party certification program to ensure consumers that independent inspectors have visited the loom or factory where their rug was made to ensure no child had a hand in the rugs making and a percentage of the rug sale is used to educate children in weaving communities in India.

    Here’s a video Walter took on one of his last trips to India:
