Ask Casa: Help Me Choose Paint Colors
Hi Casa,
My boyfriend and I are about to move into our first house and I couldn't be happier! I can't wait to get in there and start putting our touch on things! The only problem is that I am having a tough time picking a paint color for the living room.
Color Theory: Bold, Beautiful Red
You can't go much bolder with wall color than red. The color of fire and blood, red is associated with passion, love, power, energy, and determination. Given its intensity, it's sometimes hard to get red just right.
Color Theory: Mix Pink and Red
When you're talking fashion, there are a lot of rules about color. No white after Labor Day. Black and brown clash.

Olga Kurylenko, Lady in Red Valentino: Love It or Hate It?
Ukranian beauty Olga Kurylenko has been MIA for a while, but she's back, and bolder than ever. At the 2010 Campari Calendar cocktail party in Milan, the actress showed up in a can't-miss-it red Valentino couture gown that perfectly matched the red carpet. Up top she's fully covered in a turtleneck and long sleeves, but she's showing a bit of leg and thigh in a high slit.
Get the Look: Red Gossip Girl Room
In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, Blake Lively and Tyra Banks got cozy in their silk robes on a red velvet settee. The showstopping piece certainly makes the room, but the matching red damask wallpaper and blue velvet curtains continue the baroque theme throughout the room. Then, accents like the black and white embroidered pillows, brass bird wall sculpture, and rope tassels add another element of luxurious detailing.
Get the Look: Folksy Red Cushion Room
After reading my Decorating With Cozy Fall Throws slideshow, one reader wrote in saying, "I am in love with this room and want to know where everything is from, particularly the pillows and the artwork." You know me, I love to help you all "get the look," so here we go! The success of this room is driven by the mix of pink and red textiles, including cushions, a throw, and a floormat.
2010 Spring New York Fashion Week: Phillip Lim
When the runway is red and the invite has a threaded red stripe through it, does that promise a red-hot collection? When it's Phillip Lim it does. As expected, Lim's first couple looks were red — a lipstick-red double-breasted shirt jacket and roll-down waist pants, a slick red rain trench, red crystal sunglasses (have to have those).
Technicolor Toys: Red Gadgets and Accessories
It's common to see red when your hard drive quits, but sometimes seeing cherry colored gadgets is a good thing. Red is a staple hue for gadgets and gear this season — from rosy cameras, fire engine laptops to brick USB devices. The powerful color is cheerful, unisex and will help you spot your gizmos in a flash if they aren't neatly organized in one place.
Crave Worthy: Harwick Bench
You don't need to paint your house a neon hue or put a middle finger sculpture outside your home to make heads turn. Set a glamorous, cerise bench like the Charleston Gardens Harwick Bench ($1,195) on your front porch, and your neighbors will be drooling with envy. If you'd prefer this elegant Chinoiserie-style seat in a more subtle color, the cast aluminum bench is also available in a powder-coated white or black finish.
