Marsala has a sophisticated earthiness and warmth like a beautiful wine in blood red with a hint of brown .  It’s the red mother nature herself would love.

It ignited the fashion runways, home furnishings markets and beauty houses in recent collections.  It showcases a variety of moods from muted to bold.  I’m asking how about you?   Will you embrace marsala as a fabulous accent or will you go bold with marsala furniture or walls?

Are you on the fence?  Need a little encouragement to try it?

Here are some ideas to help you decide.  You’ll can fall in love with marvelous Marsala.
