You don’t think of decorating tips when you think of Family Circle magazine, do you?

Well, Terry Trucco is doing her best to change that. Bossy color is featured in September’s issue of Family Circle, in an article proposing color palettes for three different decorating styles. It’s called, “Fresh Coat.”

Bossy color’s style selection was, “Traditional with a Twist” (I may have proposed the term, “bossy traditional,” but I grudgingly admit that their choice may have broader appeal). Naturally I suggested that an egg-yolk yellow living room can be just as traditional as beige.
Can’t imagine where that idea came from.


The other two styles are “Eclectic Mix” and “Clean and Contemporary.”
The article is only in Family Circle’s print edition, so run, don’t walk, to your nearest grocery store.
It’s on page 44 ;)
