Fabulous New Colors For 2009 

 Yellow has been a recent star on fashion runways, and the sunny shades are now brightening interior palettes, from the soft Daffodil of spring blossoms to the ripened maize of Gambol Gold

Greens are on the move, acquiring more yellow-based shadings than we've seen in the recent past. Grandiose and Lemon Verbena bring grayed-down gravitas to the mix, while elegant Alexandrite, a gemstone-infused green, contributes a touch of blue.

Violets and plums continue their regal influence in '09, although they're more red-based than in '08. Plummy and Plum Dandy add smoky new shadings to the royal mix, and look especially Beth Photofresh when combined with neon greens, pinks, grays and blacks. 
 
Our growing awareness of water as a vital natural resource keeps blue in the color forefront. Dignity Blue offers a deep Mediterranean take, while Quench Blue and Aqua-Sphere suggest the Caribbean Sea. Celestial adds a clean, fresh blue with just a droplet of violet.
                      
 Red gets a mouthwatering new look with a hint of orange zest.  The sweetness of pink acquires new sophistication in shades ranging from Beth PhotoZany Pink  to more romantic tones of dusty rose. Orange inspired spice hues such as Tigereye tone down the Beth Photocrayon-bright orange of the past with just a touch of yellow.

 What Do Our Savvy Clients 
Know That Others Don't?
 
Beth Photo
 

We teach  intelligent design.  Our clients know why a fabric is 10 times more durable than another. They're hip to how much easier and more fun cooking is  when everything  needed is  within easy reach.  They know the difference between truly green design products and those that may have been "green-washed".  The R-value of Duette window shades on west-facing double paned windows?  Our clients can tell you! 

We  free up your valuable time by  focusing  on important design details  so  you don't have to (unless you want to!).  For example, the skilled artisans who fabricate  our draperies and valances hand-sew the  side seams   so they are guaranteed to hang perfectly in your home.  This time tested tradition  doesn't cost a penny more but try to find it from other decorator or designer's workrooms. 

Solving "impossible" design dilemmas is our specialty.  Clients bring us their  most complex design problems.  After 25 years, they trust we'll scour every  resource available to provide the best creative solutions.

Our clients sleep really well at night.  They rely on our professional talent and trained eye to get beautiful results every time.   Our clients never worry about making a decorating mistake again.

Q. 
"I'm not creative. My friends have beautiful homes that honestly look like no one lives there.  I know the colors I like but I'm confused about how to put them together. Help!"  

A.  The solution is really simple.  You sound like a person who could use a quick- start design plan. Gather together your favorite ideas including color and style preferences. Make a  wish list   and focus on the room(s) that are most important to you and your family. What furnishings do you love and what can you let go of?  You'd be amazed at how even small changes can make a BIG difference. This is a great time of year to make a fresh start and discover new ways you surroundings help your feel more comfortable and relaxed.
