Riding Boots

V083-6

Riding Boots is a dark saddle brown with a red orange base. It feels worn in. It makes sense for a front door, den walls, or lower cabinets with stone counters.

The low reflection will make the room feel smaller, so commit to the mood. For Riding Boots, Cream trim plus aged brass. Satin shows the warmth best. Check it in evening light.
