Now, I am a snow hater – a winter whiner – and a cold weather pansy.

I will admit it.

Remember the post I did last month on some of My Favorite Things? I even dedicated a section on ways I keep warm. Read up if you are a cold-natured person like me!

MFT-COLD

However, gorgeous white, grays, and neutral décor are beautiful and make the long winters more bearable. (kinda)

So, let’s get to it while I am sitting here with my heater on – seriously.

Our January Velvet Finishes Colour of the Month is

Understated.

Restrained, low-key. This beautiful shade of beige has just a hint of a green undertone.

Bottom line – IT IS BEAUTIFUL.

Such a great wintry shade, don’t you think?  A beautiful neutral beige that looks great with all colors.

Let’s take a peek at some Understated painted pieces and inspirations, shall we?

Here is the ultimate post on How to Paint with Velvet Finishes. For this beauty, I covered her entirely with VF Understated and filled in the details with VF Opulent and Timeless. I love, love, love these three colours together. You can read more about this upcycle here!

I love a unique project and this one is definitely worthy of sharing. A DIY coffee table painted neutral. Love this shabby chic look?

Below is mine and the BHE’s master bedroom – I love the Understated vibe of this room.

It’s one of my favorite rooms at Casa de Loco.

I find myself saying that a lot about all of the rooms at our house!

Do you love juju hats as much as I do? They bring an organic and natural element into any space. White, colorful and a DIY version are all here. Take a look!
