Which White Should I Use?

Pink whites, blue whites, yellow whites, green whites! Which white is best white to use when there is so many to choose from?

You would think choosing white is easy right? Sure! Just pick one, paint and you're done. But - after the paint dries you see that your “white” looks a bit green and somehow your beige carpeting looks really pink. That's because you chose the wrong white.

Color that will settle your stomach


Did you know that various forms of Ginger - non alcoholic ginger ale or beer, pills and candied ginger root have been used to counter the nausea of motion sickness? Well why don't you take this stomach setting hue into your home?

Picture these colors in a dining room and yes, they are VERY non-traditional colors to use for a dining room but that's ok!

Earthy Colors


Earth tones are great to have in a home as your base colors. Why? Because you can add just about ANY color with them and it will look great. I actually have very similar colors in my bedroom and I love them. They are relaxing, warm and cozy which is what you want for a bedroom. Here's some accessories you can bring in that will go with these hues. Happy decorating!

Colors to Consider. Peach and Green


Peach has gotten such a bad reputation of being very old fashioned. You really don't see that much peach or even light orange in homes today. Well, I'd like to change that!

Choking out beige with Artichokes


I've been talking, blogging, tweeting and writing a lot lately about how beige is really bugging me. The funny thing is, I see it bugging my clients to. What does this mean exactly? People are just getting bored with beige. It seems that beige is the color people gravitate towards when they just don't know what else to choose. Today and probably for the rest of the year, I'm going to show you alternatives to beige and even colors that you wouldn't think would work in it's place.
