A GOOD WARM NEUTRAL GRAY

HELP WITH A NON GROSS COLOR

When you buy a previously owned home, you buy that owner's taste in color and surface materials.

Sometimes you are lucky, and its a neutral you can live with for a while

but sometimes, you can't wait to make changes...

CURB APPEAL

LOOKING GOOD!

Our houses can't go to the gym to get a quick workout

Or hike

or run

and they can't trim their own shrubs

So when it comes to getting in shape

looking good

and creating a beautiful curbside look at your home

your house has to rely on you.

CELEBRITY HOMES....

LOOK-E-LOOS

Former home of Michael Jackson, Los Angeles, California

Yes, I'm as guilty as any of you...

I love to look at other people's homes, especially celebrity homes.

One of my favorite blogs is Hooked On Houses where you get to peek into beautiful celebrity 

and non-celebrity and even fabulous movie set homes on a regular basis.

So, I thought I'd take you on my own little tour and share my guilty pleasure, 

because I'm always amazed at how 'ordinary' celebrities turn out to be.  

Like this house - home to Harrison Ford.

COASTAL COLORS

• WHEN THE BEACH IS A STATE OF MIND
  
  
  
  Coastal decor is one of my all time favorites.  
  I live on the West Coast, but any coast would do.  
  Its a casual, easy living, non-fussy way of decorating.  
  A nod to the seashore in a 'not in your face' sort of way... 
  not contrived ... 
  a lifestyle not a trend.

IN LOVE WITH GRAY

Welcome home.

A few simple rules to choosing exterior paint color - 

Consider the roof color when choosing your new color -  Roof color should be darker than the house color - Make the door stand out with a darker or bright color - Accent the trim and architecture of the house with a contrasting or complimenting color - take into consideration size as a dark color will make a small house look smaller.
