Hand painted walls…Laundry room

by

I have been searching for a stencil for a long time for my laundry room walls.  I wanted something that was large scale, so that ruled out all of the local shops.  I found something close to what I wanted online.  But, the stencil was close to fifty bucks and I didn’t want to spend that for a small room, especially because I probably wouldn’t have used it again.  So, I decided to hand paint my ...

How To Choose a Paint Color

by

I’ve worked with a lot of people who think I select paint colors with the TINY paint swatches that paint stores carry.  If I did, I would have a lot of unhappy clients!  This is also why some people that don’t use an Interior Designer have a hard time getting the exact color they are after.  I’ve heard this many times, “I picked out a color at the paint store that I loved, but the paint swatch ...
