WEEKLY NEWSCAST

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK

How about painting a room in a soft, cool aqua to help beat the summer heat!  Then in the winter, it can be accented with burnt orange to warm it.   Sherwin Williams'  "Aqua Pura" SW1200 is my favorite soft aqua and if you want a little more depth, "Refined Aqua" SW1199 is very beautiful.  Both of these colors are from their older sample line , but they can still mix them.

WEEKLY NEWSCAST

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:

"Stay focused"  I hear that a lot these days.  To me it means to check my "to do list" and see if I have done  the things on the list  that can be completed right away. Not let things drag on too long, and from a design standpoint, that means  "clean out the clutter, decide on the new appliances, decide if the furniture in  living room really can be re-arranged, decide the new paint color for the kitchen or decide to get help with any of those projects...to be able to  put them into action as soon as possible!

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK

If you are feeling the need for a new look, but not wanting to undertake a complete redecoration/renovation,  indentify  three things you would like to change.
  
Get a more comfortable chair?  Buy some new window treatments?  De-clutter?  Change paint colors? Add hardwood flooring?  Change the kitchen counter tops? Buy a new faucet.

And begin one step at a time.

WEEKLY NEWSCAST

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:

With spring approaching, this is a good time to paint...to decide if there is one room that could really use a makeover.  Painting  a new wall color can give a whole new look to a room.  If it was dark, a light color will make a dramatic change.  If it was light, a deep rich color can make all of the furnishings look new. Then rearrange the furniture and you have a completely different room!

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:
With Spring coming, freshen  up your interiors by changing the throw pillows in the living room.  Add pillows in  bright, happy colors.  Change out the bed treatments with  comforters in lighter weights and in lighter colors.  And keep on the de-cluttering path...open up the rooms for more light and air as the weather becomes warmer.
