Limitless by Glidden

Glidden’s color of the year, Limitless PPG1091-3, is a light and warm hue that reminds us of a quaint cottage in the countryside. Glidden says, “The 2024 color of the year is anything but yellow.

Ironside by Dutch Boy

Dutch Boy opted for a rustic and organic hue as their 2024 color of the year. Ironside 422-7DB is a sophisticated and biophilic rich, deep green. “This deep, comforting green is a richly dimensional hue that soothes and reassures,” says Dutch Boy. Like a crisp and comforting evergreen, Ironside evokes a sense of standing in a dark winter forest, soaking up all of the cozy vibes. A hint of a warm gray rests in the undertones, giving it a more modern and industrial quality. Paired with mixed metals and deep wood tones, this organic color will surely soothe the senses.

The 2024 colors of the year chosen by the experts evoke a sense of tranquility, mystery, and playfulness. Unlike years in the past when heavy themes of crisp and light tones or soft neutrals dominated our palettes, 2024 is ushering in an era of calm color and an exploration into more organic, lighthearted hues.

Where Design Meets Desert: Blue Heron’s Vision for Las Vegas
Blazer, Clothing, Coat

As a third-generation Las Vegas native, I was thrilled to hear that during a recent visit to the city, part of our team had the opportunity to tour a newly completed, luxury desert home by Blue Heron. The home was stunning, far beyond expectations, with every detail thoughtfully and intentionally designed.

Las Vegas has always been a place of transformation and evolution. Founded in 1905 as a railroad stop and desert oasis, the city grew rapidly through the construction of the Hoover Dam, the legalization of gambling, and the post–World War II development that shaped the iconic Las Vegas that we know today. Over the last 125 years, it has evolved far beyond its origins to become a hub for design, innovation, and bold leadership.

My Christmas Centerpiece Method
Candle, Candlestick, Cutlery

Christmas is a few days away and I am getting the final touches ready to host my family. The meal is planned and the shopping list is written. All that’s left is to do is to set the table, prepare the food, and enjoy the holiday. But before that, I need to put together the centerpiece and table scape. My personal favorite kind of table scape has always been rooted in simplicity. At my own wedding, I locked horns with the florist, wedding planner, and even my own mother-in-law, because all I wanted were floating candles and bare, yet sparkly branches. I had the vision and they just needed to trust me. Almost ten years later, while my style has evolved, one thing has not changed: simplicity with a splash of shine always wins. I tend to lean this direction often. It’s classic and never feels overdone. 

So, how am I decorating my table for Christmas this year? I follow the same principle every December, and the method is beautifully straightforward:

PANTONE 2026: Cloud dancer takes center stage
And Pantone's 2026 Color of the Year is...
Adult, Male, Man

Pantone has officially announced its Color of the Year for 2026, and the choice is as bold as it is unexpected. It is white. More specifically, Cloud Dancer (PANTONE 11-4201). At first glance, it’s definitely a move that might raise eyebrows. It has already received criticism for being “flavorless” and even “tone-deaf” in our current political climate, especially with the rollback of many DEI initiatives. 

And, many of us grew up hearing that white isn’t even a color at all, but a canvas. An empty space waiting for something more. Technically, it’s the reflection of all visible colors, which only adds to the irony.
