WEEKLY NEWSCAST














DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK




When painting a room a dark color, be sure that the walls are as smooth as possible.  Dark colors show up the imperfections in the wall.  Also a satin or eggshell finish looks smoother than a glossy finish.

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:




Well the holidays have come and gone.  I enjoyed them a lot, but I did not do any work during those days.  So I'm back, restored and revitalized and ready for the New Year's projects.  I'm working with two clients, one is redoing their master bath and one is redoing their kitchen.  Both of these projects will take much patience and flexibility from these families and I hope to help them make the work as easy and organized as possible to begin the New Year.

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:


Well, the holidays have come and gone and I did not post any design tips.  But I guess that is ok. The holidays are a good time to get away from work and enjoy the festivities, family and friends and then January comes with its own quiet retreat time.  And then about mid January I am ready to begin the next projects.  I'm working with two clients, one is redoing their master bath and one is redoing their kitchen.  I recommend only doing one of those big projects at a time.

Guest Rooms are great spaces for dark, rich colors.  They make the room cozy and invite you to nestle in.

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:

With the change in the sunlight and some cooler nights, my morning glories are thriving.  I recommend planting these tiny seeds and letting them climb up railings, columns, fences...wherever you want a spots of color.  While other plants are finishing their season, these are in full swing and will bloom all the way until frost.  They make my exterior spaces as lovely as my interior spaces.

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:

Well, in the redoing of my living room (photo posted last week), it seems it was not quite finished.  With the addition of one bright red wall, I think we can settle down and enjoy the new modern look.

DESIGN TIP OF THE WEEK:

We have just finished redoing our living room...and it has turned out wonderfully, but it was not done without worry.  I experimented with a much lower sectional sofa in two shades, beige/gray and soft white and going from standard 18" high seating to 15" high seating was a little nerve wracking.  But I was so much more comfortable on the tight tufted bench style seats than I was sinking into down filled loose sofa cushions.  The room is ever so much more spacious.  And it passed it's first test on Saturday night when we had friends over and they were comfy, too...no problem getting down to that seating height.
So my tip for this week is:  Expand your horizons!
