Fresh Summer Greens
Green finishes and colors are very popular for interior design projects right now! Just in time for summer, greens are leading the way in trending colors. I just finished a master bathroom project with a soft gray green painted vanity combined with a beautiful...
Sunny, Mellow Yellow
Spring time turns my thoughts to warm, sunny days and to the color yellow! Yellow is a mood lifter, can create mellow spaces or intense, bold spaces, and although it’s associated with Spring and Summer, can be a wonderful color to live in year round. Even on a grey,...
A Hint Of Peachy Pink
During these chilly winter months, I look back at one of my favorite projects – a master bathroom renovation in a classic Colonial style home that transformed a chilly and bland space into a warm and welcoming oasis. The client was interested in creating a...
Bold and Beautiful Bronze
I find that I like to blog about color quite a bit. I love helping clients pick out paint colors for home or office, and over the years I’ve developed a nice niche in expertise on color selection. I’ve noted in past blogs that I enjoy seeing “Color of the Year”...
