Online color consultant for whole house paint scheme?
Comments (8)dasiychain01- that's good to know. I was thinking of using some bloggers who I thought seemed really knowledgable about color. Figured they might actually be better than an interior designer who is probably more skilled in furniture and things (also being in the NYC area, the one's near me are $$). I asked the builder about using the BM consultant (they use Benjamin Moore paint) but they said the way they get it isn't really through a store so there's no consultant? Not sure if that sounds right. I will double check. Since it's new construction there's nothing to match, it's just picking a bunch of things that work well together....See MoreWhole house color scheme
Comments (8)I've found that I can use all the colors and patterns that I love in my house, and have them be different from room to room (unless you have a completely open plan house) as long as the color intensity is kept more or less at the same level. By that I mean that having one room with all very dark colors and another room with very pale colors will make the house look disjointed. In addition to that if the style of your decorating is fairly uniform from room to room that will also have a unifying effect. Going from Swedish modern to English country will never work, even if you carry the same colors throughout. If you have a fairly consistent style and a palette of colors that is of a similar intensity (the picture with your three beautiful pillows is a good example of that), then there's no need to overthink the process; just allow yourself to buy the things you truly love in the colors you love. It will all come together beautifully and your home will have individuality and character without your having to agonize over rules with every purchase....See MoreWhole house color scheme using Sherwin Williams paint
Comments (1)A local consult from a designer will be the best money you spend on the project. Colors need to be chosen in the light that they will be viewed, and with the phish all samples of the products right there in front of you. You cannot choose colors online....See MoreWhat do you think of either of these coffee tables?
Comments (136)@KL I circled the unfinished portion on the photo. I don't have a finished photo on my phone and I'm not home. I have never tried to sell anything. For half a second I thought about trying to teach people with no artistic experience how to paint faces using oil, wax, a knife, and an outline. I did paint a portrait on Zoom while guiding a friend who was working on the same painting and outline. It was fun! I have given a few paintings away. I think this style table would be easy to market because people could pick any combination of top and legs. Sort of like OshKosh B'gosh clothing for kids. Also, I would only have to flip the legs upside down to make plant holders....See Moreker9
