Color Your World

I love color.  It must stem from the days I lived with stark white walls in my numerous apartment rentals.  I recall my first home purchase.  I walked inside to view the property and I couldn't believe my eyes. The walls were peach...or maybe orange sherbert...the jury is still out on that one.  (For the record, I am not putting down peach...it was sort of a decorating challenge for me at the time!!)  The color didn't dissuade me...it was my first home...and my first opportunity to PAINT!!  Every room was transformed into a different color.  I used navy in the kitchen, taupe in the great room, barn red in the guest bathroom, butter yellow in one bedroom and Wedgewood blue in the other bedroom.

I remember when the time came to sell. A few of the potential buyers were suprised by the array of colors that adorned my walls. The property sold and it sold quickly.  That is the beauty of paint.  Paint can completely transform the look of a room.  Your individual paint selections can change as your style evolves and paint can express you and your personality! I found a fun color tool from HGTV.com called Color Code.  Choose a shade on the color wheel and it will reveal your personality.
