Acacia American Clay - Voted Best color

American Clay recently did a pole on what was the American Clay fan's favorite clay color pigment and Acacia was the winner!

Funny thing is, that was the same color one of my favorite clients picked for her beautiful home on the lake. One thing I liked about that color is that it was warm and yet subtle. Acacia perfectly accented every piece in her home from art to the various wood tones.

Here is a home done in the Acacia American Clay color:

Isn't that gorgeous! Not only are the walls spectacular but the room has so many interesting accents. The RICH wood floor paired along with the grey cabinetry is perfect. I also love how the wood beams pick up on the color of the flooring and how the fire place picks up on both the rich wood tones and the grey stone colors. The floor to ceiling window is such a focal point along with the old wagan wheel turned light fixture.

Here is a picture of the home I did in Acacia.

It truly is an amazing color. Although, there isn't any color in the American Clay family that I don't like!

What I have found from most of my clients who are looking for a concrete fireplace surround is they aren't excited about astronomical bid they get! What they get from me is a work of art (hand troweled and artistic) for a fraction of the cost. Over the next few weeks I am going to showcase the MANY firepl...

Review for The Clay Trowel - Rustic Kitchen in Enjarre American Clay

Hello Friends! I just finished a LOVELY home project way out in the Coeur d'Alene forest :-) My team applied a very rustic, one coat Enjarre finish to their kitchen. I always feel honored to turn a client's home into a work of art. I appreciated her "glowing" review. BEFORE AFTER Their little girls room was done up in clay also.
