76th Annual Persimmon Festival
Schoolhouse Collection
The 76th Annual Persimmon Festival embodies a muted, earthy orange that pays homage to a cherished Indiana tradition. This subdued hue captures the essence of ripe persimmons and autumn's gentle touch on the landscape surrounding the old schoolhouse. It evokes memories of community gatherings and harvest celebrations that have marked the seasons for generations. In modern interiors, this understated orange brings a warm, inviting atmosphere without overwhelming the senses. It's a color that whispers of crisp fall days, shared stories, and the timeless connection between the schoolhouse and its community, infusing spaces with a quiet, enduring charm.
Patina
Schoolhouse Collection
Patina is a deep, rich green that exudes sophistication and tranquility. This shade draws inspiration from the lush Indiana forests surrounding the schoolhouse, evoking images of moss-covered stones and verdant foliage. It's a color that might have adorned the schoolhouse's original chalkboards, bearing witness to countless lessons and youthful aspirations. In modern interiors, Patina brings a sense of grounded elegance and natural beauty, perfect for creating serene spaces that feel both timeless and contemporary. By choosing this color from the Up Paint collection, you're not just transforming your walls; you're becoming part of a century-long narrative of renewal and sustainability.
Arbor Day
Schoolhouse Collection
Arbor Day embodies the spirit of growth and renewal central to the schoolhouse's history and Up Paint's mission. This fresh, lively green recalls the annual tree-planting celebrations that might have taken place on the school grounds, fostering a deep connection between students and nature. It represents hope, new beginnings, and the continuous cycle of learning and growth the schoolhouse has witnessed over its century-long existence.
Dried Alfalfa
Schoolhouse Collection
Dried Alfalfa pays homage to the schoolhouse's stint as a farm from 1934 to 1956. This warm, muted green evokes sun-dried hay fields and the earthy scent of harvest time. It's a color that bridges the building's educational past with its agricultural interlude, representing the versatility and adaptability of both the structure and the community it has served.
First Grade Blue
Schoolhouse Collection
First Grade Blue captures the innocence and promise of new beginnings. This cheerful, clear blue might have been the color of little chairs or cubbies in one of the schoolhouse's four classrooms. It embodies the excitement of young minds embarking on their educational journey. Now, Up Paint's upcycling process brings that same sense of possibility and freshness to home decor.
Corn Husking Bee
Schoolhouse Collection
Corn Husking Bee celebrates a cherished community tradition once held at the school. This warm, golden hue evokes memories of autumn gatherings, where families came together to work and socialize. It represents the strong bonds of rural communities and the schoolhouse's role as a central meeting place, infusing spaces with a sense of warmth and togetherness.
Knobstone Brick
Schoolhouse Collection
Knobstone Brick honors the very foundation of the schoolhouse. This rich, earthy brown captures the essence of the sturdy bricks that have held the 1914 structure together for over a century. It's a color that speaks of strength, permanence, and the solid craftsmanship that has allowed this building to transition from school to farm to family home.
Eraser Dust
Schoolhouse Collection
Eraser Dust is a playful nod to the schoolhouse's educational roots. This soft, chalky pink hue recalls the fine powder left behind after erasing chalk from a blackboard. It represents the learning process - the ability to make mistakes, erase, and start anew - a philosophy that aligns perfectly with Up Paint's mission of giving old paint new life. In your home, Eraser Dust offers a gentle backdrop for creating and recreating your personal space, much like the ever-changing chalkboards of the old classrooms.
Pressed Peony
Schoolhouse Collection
Pressed Peony captures the essence of Indiana's state flower in its dried, preserved form. This warm, soft tan hue evokes the delicate petals of peonies pressed between the pages of old textbooks, a common practice in the schoolhouse's early days. In modern spaces, Pressed Peony offers a neutral yet inviting backdrop reminiscent of aged paper and vintage photographs. This versatile color adds a touch of nostalgia and local pride to the palette, bridging the gap between the schoolhouse's rich history and its contemporary role as a family home.
Winter Cedar
Schoolhouse Collection
Winter Cedar evokes the serene beauty of Indiana's landscape during the colder months. This rich green hue captures the essence of hardy evergreens standing tall against snow-covered fields. Its color might have adorned the schoolhouse's exterior, providing a steady, comforting presence for students trudging through winter weather. Winter Cedar represents resilience and timelessness, much like the schoolhouse itself, which has weathered over a century of seasons. This color brings a touch of nature indoors, creating a cozy, grounded atmosphere that bridges the gap between the building's rural past and its contemporary function as a family home.
Fresh Paper
Schoolhouse Collection
Fresh Paper evokes the crisp, clean scent of new notebooks and the potential they represent. This bright, slightly creamy white hue recalls the excitement of the first day of school, fresh starts, and blank pages waiting to be filled. In a home setting, it offers a clean backdrop for creating new memories, much like the schoolhouse itself has been a canvas for various chapters of community life. From classroom to farmhouse to family home, Fresh Paper continues the tradition of new beginnings, inviting you to write your own story on its pristine surface.
