Painting Season is Here!


Summer is almost here and the smell of paint is in the air...well, at least it is at my house. Did you know that paint is the least expensive and most dramatic change you can make to your interior? My foyer went from a deep, dramatic red (loved it but it has been here for 11 years!) to an elegant gray with off-white trim and crown molding. One wall will be a focal point because it will be papered with "grass cloth". My design is to have an architecturally rich but coastal/relaxed space with a neutral palette but plenty of contrast and texture!


I have a designer deck of colors from Sherwin-Williams that allows you to see the color in a larger swatch. You can also visit their site to play with the on-line color studio.
