November 2010
Greetings!
I finally have some new dates for upcoming 'True Colour Expert Training' workshops (see right sidebar) for Vancouver, Los Angeles and Atlanta. I might just end up in Atlanta as most of the requests I have received are from the East. Email me if you are interested in the course. You can also View some video clips from September's Workshop. My special article this month is about the 6 rules for painting woodwork (trim, which includes doors of course). I receive the most questions on whites so hopefully this article will help you if you need to choose one. Thanks for being a subscriber!

6 Rules for Painting Trim. Light or Dark?
|
 Everyone that has read my ' The best Trim Colours-NOT Cloud White' post is convinced that I think it's a bad white, but that is simply not true. To recap that post, trim colours should be chosen based on the 'fixed' white in your home. So if your kitchen cabinets (for example) are anywhere from white, to off-white, ivory or cream then your trim colour should coordinate with whichever shade of white they happen to be (as a guideline, not like this is a fixed-in-stone rule). Click here to see the rest of the article.
