On the eve of New Years Eve it seems like a good time frame to reflect back over the past twelve months and share a few ways I was able to ~Make Color Personal~ for clients. I look forward to helping more clients in 2016.
The calls for help with paint colors and placement were a (always welcomed) steady stream in 2015. Sources continued to include direct contact at a local Benjamin Moore retailer, repeat and past client referrals, painter referrals and inquiries from Houzz (click the link to visit my page).
A fantastic commercial project was with a Condo Association that was looking to add sophisticated colors to the exteriors of the units. Based on the location near a golf course and a request for six color options, compared to two, I provided new colors that would meet the Board of Directors request as well as keeping the painters in mind by staying in the same color depth of the previous choices--no extreme color changes--.
 |
| 'Green' -really a gray green- is subtle but stands out next to gray and tan neighboring units |
 |
| Yellow without glowing |
 |
| Taupe in the right hue is like a perfect river rock |
 |
| Blue per a Board choice request. Used sparingly it adds a punch of color among the neutral tans and grays |
Residential exteriors were also individualized for each home owner. Based on requests for 'something that stands out from the lake view' to 'something that looks impressive/rich' homeowners had ~color made personal~ to help make a house into a home for curb appeal.
 |
| Stucco, trim and deck boards now work with stone and brick |
 |
| Gray and cream stand out but work with the brick |
 |
| Eye catching even from the lake |
Interior consults were a full range of refreshing a room with a similar color, with less 'pink' or 'yellow' to new construction with primed walls, and some needing flooring and counter and cabinet color choices.
 |
| Saturated ('dark') gray to balance strong natural sunlight |
 |
| Master Bath waiting for wall and floor choices |
 |
| Navy Blue off sets the white Wainscoting and dark furniture |
 |
| Consults can include details like making sure the trim work lines up with fixed items like windows |
 |
| Change from gold to rich taupe |
I look forward to moving on to 2016 and more opportunities to ~Make Color Personal~, maybe for you, maybe for a friend, neighbor, coworker or family member. I bring a professional, unbiased view of color and decorating recommendations that won't break the budget. In fact, a consulting appointment will out weigh the cost of time and samples that just aren't working. Take a look at my website for more information to see if I am a good fit to ~Make Color Personal~ for you!
Until Next Year
