In this post I will be discussing "long distance color consulting" that I did for a client building a new house in the Adirondacks. It was too far to travel and we decided to choose colors not on the actual site.  It's a challenge because colors change in different lighting and all the things the client chose like tiles, bathroom fixtures, kitchen cabinets, etc. were things I would see only in pictures. She did have a few actual samples of tile for me to see which was very helpful. Part II is the discussion for [...]

Purple Master Bath

By |2018-12-21T09:36:48-05:00August 25th, 2015|Bathrooms, Case Studies|

How did we come up with a purple master bath? This was a new house construction. It was a large traditional house.

When we came to the master bedroom suite we continued choosing colors that were muted and soft, colors that went beautifully with the carpeting and bedding. But when we came to the master bath the client wanted something different, something that would stand out but not knock you out. She [...]

Making a Screened Porch Inviting

By |2018-12-19T17:01:13-05:00July 29th, 2015|Case Studies, Exteriors|

A client called me to help choose colors for a screened porch she was remodeling and painting to make it more inviting and more harmonious with the rest of the house.

Warm Tones for Exterior of House This new house in a traditional style with a Southern flair and lots of architectural detail was recently completed and painted. All the trim is white and roof black.
