As Pam Buda (Heartspun Quilts) explains: "Some of the most treasured antiques are those with original paint. Red was a standard color in early American times, and over the years, the red patina often takes on a muted brown color that is very warm and lovely with lighter wood furnishings and floors." Paired with brown wood trim, the color pair is a favorite just as brown and red is in quilts of the same pairing - this is the inspiration for my new Redwood Cupboard collection."
