Special Opportunity!!!
Anna French Designs and C2 Color Trends 2005


Daly's is excited to host an informative seminar from the English wallpaper and fabric company Anna French, presented by Jonathan French. Jonathan only comes to the states a few times a year, so we are very lucky to have him visit us in Seattle.

Find Robin and Christian in the P.I.

I am very excited to share with you the latest news connected to our design/files radio show, which I share with interior designer Christian Ursino... We now have a weekly column in the Seattle P.I.! You can find us every Saturday in the new "@ home" section of the paper, starting May 7th.

Christian and I answer your questions, dilemmas and give tons of advice. While our approach is fun, our answers are full of real information that you can personally use in you own home.

This means you can find us on the dial at 1150am, KKNW every Sunday at 1pm AND now you can read us in the P.I. every Saturday, over your morning coffee.

Dear Robin ~

Q) With the weather is getting nicer, I'm noticing that the exterior of my house needs to be repainted. I would like to update my color scheme without being too trendy.

A) At Daly's we are seeing a lot of interest in some of the deeper tones for exterior colors schemes. Many people are showing interest in colors that are reminiscent of dusky chocolate, rich mossy greens and even dark navy blues.

Taupe (in it's" infinite" range from medium beige to medium beige) used to be the main color story for our homes, and this lasted for many years. Recently there has been a shift towards a high interest in color with a huge variety of different combinations that people are now using.

Here are a couple color schemes to get you started:




Shown Above
Body Color: C2-7552 Toadstool
Trim: C2-7384 Sandstone
Accent: C2-1329 Hot Tamale



Shown Above
Body Color: C2-7412 Charlie Horse
Trim: C2-8371 Ostrich
Accent: C2-6334 Black Tulip

If you want to explore more color schemes, you might be interested in reviewing the entire C2 Color palette.
