Give your home a new look!

When you are sick you call a doctor who will give you medicine and recommend healthy options to heal. When you are in a bind you call an attorney who will recommend plans and views you might not had thought possible to resolve your issues.

And when your home, your shelter and refuge from the world, needs some TLC you call a Color Consultant to recommend color options to make your home look its best by scheduling a "Exterior Color Consultation".

BEFORE, just a plain little Split-Level with lots of visual breaks and no real warm "welcome"!

Such was the case with my clients in Castro Valley, California. Their American classic "Split Level" home was just crying out for a new look. Randy and Brenda had a loose idea of what color they might like for the body, but at a loss as to trim, accent, sheen, and "what goes where" had them stumped. So they did what many are doing, they called out for help, suggestions, options, solutions and instruction for paint color selection from a Color Consultant....me.

Black and white, always right!

Q. I'd like to have a black and white living room, can you suggest how I might go about doing that?

A bit of green and pink adds a nice vibe to the room.  And the area rug adds movement and interest!

A. If you have lot's of windows giving ample light, you can paint the walls a black semi-gloss.  Semi-gloss paint reflects light and gives the space a bit of glam. Make sure the ceiling and trim are a bright white and that there is just a bit of another accent color to pop against the black and white. The photo above is a perfect example and inspiration...go for it!
