The article goes on to state promising data regarding increases to personal income and job growth, with a decline in jobless rate – all indicators that our local economy is on the road to recovery at a faster rate than the rest of the State of California.

One of the easiest ways to add a little personality to a new home is with a fresh coat of paint. But picking a paint color can be a daunting task. It’s a tricky balance between lighting, personality, mood and current trends. Are you one of those people who feels overwhelmed by the process of picking “the right color” and are left with a dozen swatches on walls and no direction? Pantone to the rescue! The leader in color and design recently announced their much-anticipated color of the year. Pantone’s 2011 Color of The Year – PANTONE 18-2120 Honeysuckle. Pantone’s website describes the vibrant color as: Energizing Honeysuckle lifts spirits and imparts confidence to meet life’s ongoing challenges. A Color for All Seasons. Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day — with nothing “everyday” about it. So how does one incorporate this playful color into an interior design theme? Their article goes on to say: Honeysuckle is upbeat and dynamic when used on large areas like the entry area of a house or an apartment. It is an appetite and conversation stimulant when used on the dining room walls. In the kitchen, it adds a fun touch on the table in placemats and other linens (patterned or solid), colored glassware, candles and small appliances. Honeysuckle is a great color to cover up shabby kitchen cabinets, or, if that’s too much of a color statement for you, try repainting knobs and drawer pulls. But be warned – once you try this arresting shade, it can become addictive. You can read the entire article at the Pantone site here. Happy Decorating & Painting from the Altaire Team!

Stanford is Orange Bowl bound!December 6th, 2010 by Altaire Townhomes Credit: gostanford.com (AP Photo/Paul Sakuma) Stanford is off to Florida where they will face off against Virgina Tech in the Orange Bowl in Miami on Janaury 3, 2011. The Stanford football team has come a long way under the guidance of head coach, Jim Harbaugh, who inherited a program that posted a 1 -11 season prior to his hiring and now have an impressive 11-1 season, now at #4 in the BCS national ranking. This Orange Bowl should be an excellent game; the two teams have never played and Virginia Tech dominated the Atlantic Coast division, beating traditional powerhouse teams such as Miami and Florida State. In a recent mercurynews.com article, Coach Harbaugh discussed the Orange Bowl challenge. “It’s a great bowl, and it’s a great reward for our players,” said coach Jim Harbaugh. “Now it’s known where we’re going, and our intent is to win it.” Good Luck, Stanford. We will be rooting for you! In other local athletic news and not to be outdone by the Stanford Football program, Palo Alto’s High girls’ volleyball team ended an incredible season, posting many firsts for its volleyball program - The Vikings won the SCVAL De Anza Division title, captured their first-ever Central Coast Section Division I crown, won their first Northern California championship and qualified for an appearance in the state finals for the first time. On Saturday the Vikings rallied for a thrilling five-set victory over Long Beach Poly in the CIF Division I state finals at the San Jose State Event Center.
