50’s – aqua blue, candy pink, lime green and other pale colors
60’s – jade, mint green, sunshine yellow, blue and cherry red, orange
70’s...

I showed this photo a couple of days ago. Nothing like a photo of an incomplete room to motivate you to find time to think it through.
Issues in the space to be aware of as it pertains to design:

A confession – I haven’t gotten a ton done on the house since my last updates which can be seen on the tour page, but I have done some things. Here is an update on the dining room.

I hope the tips here and here as well as Painting 101 have helped so far.
Picking a paint color isn’t as easy as you may think. In fact, I think the type of client design consultation I like least is paint color consultations.

Upon request, after doing a series on greige, I have created a post on white paint. I promise my blog is not just about paint. Paint is just on my mind lately.
The post includes tips on when white is a great choice for walls as well as tips on finding the right white. But, you’ll have to hop on over to Cassie’s blog, Primitive...
