• Loving Benjamin Moore Color Stories Collection
  

  Choosing paint colors can be challenging for anyone. Even as a designer, I’m faced with thousands of paint choices when selecting the perfect color.  I was intrigued when I first saw Benjamin Moore’s Color Stories™. Traditional paint fan decks (which make me feel like a kid in a candy store just opening one,) represent over [...]

• The Appeal of Curb Appeal
  

  I may have mentioned in the past that I love driving around and looking at homes. There is something so beautiful about a home that just shines from the curb.  Any home, from a tiny bungalow to a sprawling estate, can have that curb appeal star quality.  In my work helping people prepare their house [...]

• Some Spring Love for Your Front Door
  

  One of my favorite low-cost projects to spruce up a home, is painting the front door.  It’s an easy way to express your style, without making a major change to the exterior of your home.  For those of us who love decorating our porches for the seasons, a painted door makes a great backdrop for [...]

• Wake Up Your Bedroom With Fresh Color
  

  I’m a morning person. If the day greets me with sunlight and singing birds, all is well in my world. What if I open my eyes and instead see gray, dark, skies? Or what if you’re not a morning person by nature?  Can we create that happy, perky, leap-out-bed smiling feeling with color?  Yes we [...]

• Decorate a Man Cave
  

  Man Cave. This is one of those rooms that needs no other description. Two little words can conjure up an entire genre of decorating.  Of course, what goes into that man cave changes with the man that will be dwelling in there. Probably the man cave of the past, was the garage. Filled with tools, [...]

• Falling In Love With Red
  

  Remember in the 2000s when we all painted our dining rooms red?  Red was the color of choice for dining rooms all across the World.  Dining rooms were the one room where you could really express your formality, even if the rest of your home was casual.  Red is an energetic color, and known to [...]

• Hello Sunshine!
  

  Right around February I start feeling overwhelmed and under-inspired by the dark skies, and lack of colors in the world around me.  Being in the Pacific Northwest presents a special challenge for a California girl like me. I love color, I love sunshine, both of which are in short supply in the winter in all [...]

• Color Resolutions for 2012
  

  While it seems that everyone around us is resolving in the new year to lose weight or get a raise, I’d like to present Color Resolutions for 2012.  Unlike personal resolutions that fill the gyms every January, only to find plenty of open parking spaces in in March, these resolutions work for anyone and last [...]

• Perfecting the Dining Room
  

  The last thing you’ve probably got on your mind right now is Thanksgiving.  You’re busy with squeezing every last drop out of summer, with pool parties and baseball games, and entertaining outdoors.  You may not be thinking of Thanksgiving right now, but you will be.  Soon your attention will shift back indoors, and you’ll ask [...]

• The New Rustics
  

  If you’ve been watching the previews of the upcoming fall fashions, or been in a fabric store lately, you’re seeing a new color trend unfold. It seems like we’ve been playing with super brights and cool spa colors, for several years. Now here comes, what I like to call, “The New Rustics.” The current fashions [...]
