NEW WALL COLOR...

 NOTHING DATES A HOME FASTER THAN COLOR......

If I were to say forest green and mauve

you'd think early 80's

dusty blue and pink?

90's

gold, tan, green and red....

early 2000? 

so what color trend will our current decade be remembered for?

THE COLOR YOU CRAVE: BEIGE

NEUTRAL OR NOT

For some of my readers, beige is a nice safe color

it is neutral and it stands the test of time

but neutral doesn't have to also be boring...

GRAY AREA

A LIGHTER SHADE OF PALE

a lighter shade for a wall color will make a room feel more spacious

a darker shade - more cozy or dramatic

Little Friends

[I love the photo above, and the book by Seth Casteel featuring his amazing underwater photography.  This is a completely unsolicited blurb.  Just love the images.  Click on the link above to find your copy.]

So, I have a few friends and clients who have downsized lately.  Many from very large to not so large homes.  But some from large to very very small homes or apartments.  

Some are retired, some are divorced, some are empty nesters, some are temporary,

 all are trying to make small spaces cozy and efficient.
