One of My Decorating Trademark’s…
I have been using this paint treatment for years…and I love it! It puts that unique stamp on a room! What is it? Paint panels!!!
It takes a room from ordinary to extraordinary!
Taking the ceiling color and dropping it down…just gives that fresh new direction without going to far out of the box!
For those that are willing to step out of the box…run the paint panel through the bottom of cabinets…a show stopper!
Or how about this…make a large square paint panel to feature a corner or entrance of home…fabulous! Stay tuned for more inspiration!
Design, Create, Repeat…
Keeping it fresh in the year twenty sixteen!
White, black and gray and natural tones. Naturally!
That touch of PINK! Pantone of the year!
Laminated or decorative fronts on furniture!
Install cabinets with a purpose!
Mix old and new design layers for a truly unique room.
Plus add in lots of over sized art too.
The Art of Paint…
Many are confused about selecting the right paint color for their home.
We have experienced a sea of neutral paint tones for the last 15 years. In fact it has been a sea of beige for a long time now. Neutral still reigns, but the next fresh color direction are shades of white and gray.
The difficulty comes into play, even when we are thinking of selecting such simple colors of gray and white; and that issue is… the undertones.
So when you are selecting white paint place a black piece of paper under the color chips that you are considering to make sure that certain shades that you like do not have red or blue undertones.
When working with gray use a sheet of white paper to see how those read.
Then after you have narrowed it down…purchase a sample amount.
Apply color with brush to several walls to see how the light reflects off each individual shade before you make your final choice.
These steps will help you find that PERFECT shade for your own individual home.
Happy Painting!
Style Crushing…
I have never really coveted other people’s homes large or small…but what I can seriously crush on…are elements of certain homes.
I have very eclectic taste, maybe because I am an interior designer!?!! Maybe because I have seen so many homes with so many different styles that they all start to run together after awhile.
But it is the attention to details-elements of obscurity that captures this girl’s attention!
I LOVE details, organic elements, combination of multiple textures and How about a TREE in the middle of your house? Yes please!
Mixing old and new, layering art instead of always hanging (to typical)!
Mixing chair sizes and styles, coordinating missed matched fabrics, blending modern and traditional!
If it looks like you bought it all in one place…not interested…I need the mix!
What are the home elements that you are crushing on?
GENIUS…
I THINK THAT THIS IS FABULOUS!
Desired MAIN VUE…

Next Gen Colors of Hard Woods…
We are finding a love affair with shades of grays and light sands in the floors for a lighter and fresher feel!

Ceiling Play…
As a designer one question that I get asked a lot is…what wall can I do an accent color on?
Not being a fan of this look to begin with and feel that it can appear dated. Here is my answer to an accent…THE CEILING!
