By specializing as an interior color consultant, I am able to assist clients more efficiently in selecting paint color that visually enhances their existing furnishings and space. I am able to work within a full range of color schemes from neutrals to dramatic accents, not just current color trends.

In addition to color consulting, my background of 30 years interior design experience enables me to provide guidance regarding:

• Furniture layout, rearrangement, and placement of art and accessories
• Coordination of surface materials and finishes for remodel projects
• Addressing any design questions and concerns
• Guidelines to follow when shopping for furnishings and products on your own regarding style, scale/dimensions, color, quality, and finishes
• Resources

Professional guidance can save you time, trouble and money down the road.

Helping you to select colors for your home or business is a collaborative process.

Through my years of experience as an interior designer I have found that an individual's response to a color is complex and unique and can be based upon a variety of factors. Therefore, respecting your color preferences will be a main component of the collaborative process. By listening to your needs and concerns and finding colors that appeal to you, we can work together to achieve through effective color choices an environment that YOU enjoy, are comfortable spending time in and transforms and enhances your existing furnishings and space.

When we meet at your home or business, I will bring larger paint chip samples and color fan decks and we will discuss the goals of your specific project. It is helpful if you have magazine pictures of rooms or ideas of colors that appeal to you. If not, that's okay too. I have put together color idea notebooks containing pictures of rooms from magazines so as we discuss options I can show you what the effect might be of a certain color approach. The pictures also help us to narrow down to your color preferences more quickly. Then we will begin to work with colors to see how they read with your existing furnishings and space. Through a collaborative process we can then select specific colors. Before you paint, I always recommend that you go out and buy a small quantity of the paint color so you can test it on either your walls or a sample board so you can view it in day and evening light.
