A Sunday recap of paint, design, and preparation from Fairfield County’s trusted painting company.
Good Morning, Fairfield County
Welcome back to Color Notes, your weekly pause point in a busy season. This week, we explored how to warm December interiors, how holiday design can feel imaginative rather than overwhelming, and how to prepare your home before the decorations go up.
As winter draws closer, color, light, and thoughtful prep matter more than ever.
This Week’s Highlights
Cool December Paint Colors That Don’t Feel Cold
Winter light can drain color if you’re not careful. This post explores hues intentionally chosen to stay warm under cloudy skies: soft blues, winter greens, muted lavenders, and grayed neutrals that feel cozy rather than chilly. It’s a guide to making December feel calm rather than stark.

North Pole Interior Design: Mrs. Claus Paint Colors
Instead of bright, sugary holiday color, this piece imagines a more refined “Mrs. Claus aesthetic”: warm reds, woolen neutrals, gingerbread browns, spruce greens, and candlelit creams. It’s festive without being kitschy—a holiday palette built for real homes, not toy workshops.

Winter Prep Checklist: Before Holiday Decorations
Before wreaths, candles, garlands, and trees come out, the home deserves a moment of practical attention. This post outlines the essential early-winter prep: wall touch-ups, trim repairs, entryway refreshes, scuff removal, high-traffic repainting, and seasonal maintenance that keeps a home beautiful through New England’s toughest months.
