With spring coming, you're opening the windows, and you want everything to be fresh and clean. Painting is part of that rebirth mode.

We had gold and avocado and copper-toned appliances and we were so inundated with that color. You had appliances that outlasted the trend.

We see it continuing. It has nowhere reached its peak. We continue to see it as a classic combination.

Every year, we have a color that is building and building and getting much more acclaim. In 2005, it was orange. . . . It was in dishes, blankets, clothing, accent pillows, throws for sofas, vases. It was in your face everywhere.

Our population here in the valley is just booming like nobody's business.
