Color Drenching

I try to keep up with all the trends in fashion and home decor. I mean, I see the trends, but I don't act on them personally, for fear of being accused of being a follower.

I follow a lot of websites and FB pages that offer decorating advice. I didn't need any of it when it came to decorating my den in the popular Early Baseball motif. 

But I have seen this thing they call "color drenching" and I wondered about it. Taken literally, it would seem that it involves soaking your furniture, knick-knacks, bric-a-brac, and objets d art in a huge vat of Sherwin-Williams's finest. 

However, it's not that deep. They just mean drenching the surfaces all in one color. The website OliveandJunehome.com defines color drenching this way: 

In a nutshell, color drenching is the art of using one single color across every surface—walls, ceiling, trim, and even furniture if you're feeling extra.

Speaking of nutshells, Sherwin-Williams has a color called Nutshell (SW 6040). It looks like this, if you want to drench your living room: 

But if that's not your cup of nuts, there's always "Agreeable Gray (SW 7029). 

Go try it! Let's be extra, whatever that means.
