Greetings!

Spring is here, and all around us nature is springing into life again. Homeowners are getting in the mood to breathe new life into their homes as well. If you are planning to remodel this season, it is wise to make sure your color selections are keeping pace with current trends. You can learn here about new directions for color in 2012.

Color Forecast 2012

Are you longing to tear down walls and transform the dark, closed-off rooms in your home into open light-filled spaces that connect to the outdoors? You want your home to feel refreshed, invigorated, and up-to-date. But how can you know your color selections won't go out of style in a year or two, making your new space look dated? The 2012 colormixTM forecast from Sherwin-Williams helps give you confidence in choosing colors for your remodeling project.

Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing for Sherwin-Williams, points out that a dominant trend this year is for pairing colors within the same color family--but not the expected tone-on-tone pairings we've seen in the past. The new color forecast features 40 hues in four vibrant palettes that help you discover a fresh array of combinations within color families.


Reds Burn Brightly
This vibrant palette includes hues of brilliant flowers and glowing embers. It isn't a single red, but a deep gradation of fuchsias, red-oranges, violets and delicate pinks. "Red has a renewed dominance," Jordan said. "But the old taboos about mixing reds with oranges and purples don't apply.


Blues Not Washed Out
This soothing palette celebrates a pair of functional and treasured blues: denim and water. It explores the darkest indigo to faded-jeans hues, some with violet undertones, as well as the calm, shimmery shades that reflect rivers, lakes and seas.


Greens Firmly Planted
Representing a shift from some of the yellow-tinged greens of the past, this eclectic palette focuses on greens that are lush, moody and complex. It showcases the depths of the sea and forest, leafy motifs, rustic natural textures, and organic elements such as algae, moss and seaweed.


Neutrals Provide Balance
Raw materials continue to influence color trends, especially the more subtle hues. Picture a field of grain, pile of pebbles, weathered wood and earthen clay. Gold tones embody the sun and soft metallics--and warm up this understated yet refined palette. Textural elements, such as linen, unfired porcelain and mixed woods, provide subtle variations.

"Done in a Day"

-- Say goodbye to the "Honey Do" list


Finally there's an answer to the "Honey Do" list and a way to budget for your home's ongoing maintenance needs. Do you or your spouse have a list of items around the house that need attention, but, for a range of reasons, never seem to get completed? Whether it's cleaning the gutters, touching up some flaking paint or fixing a door that sticks -- every home requires ongoing maintenance.

At Louisville Handyman, we have a talented team of craftsmen with 20+ years' experience who excel at these repairs. We have developed a program called "Done in a Day" which allows you to budget for the expenses and takes full advantage of the varied skills of our craftsmen. This program started with our regular customers who had a list of projects to be completed. We found that by working on multiple projects on the same trip, our customers saved money.

"Done in a Day" allows you to plan for regular maintenance and work on a set budget. Options include a half-day, full-day or multiple days, depending your particular needs. You provide a list of projects; we will complete as many as possible -- efficiently and professionally -- in the time purchased. If there are items we can't get to within the timeframe you have purchased, you can move them to the top of the list the next time we come out.

Give our office a call and/or email us your list and we will work with you on how much time to purchase.

Finally, a "Honey Do" list that gets done!
