Do you like this room, inspired by a spring day down by the creek? We used old claret 2083-30 with wrought iron 2124-10 to accent, and icicle OC-60 on the trim!

Painting a faux wood wall

before pic of baby D's room

It’s amazing what paint can do!

This plain looking spare bedroom really needed a lift before it became a baby boys nursery.  Mom and Dad wanted a wood wall, but for re-sale purposes didn’t see it as a good idea. Our friends at Spaces Design created this wall with painters tape, two tones of paint, and some water.

Rust coloured dining

warm dining rooma warm dining area

This neutral home needed to warm things up in the dining area.  The home main colour was HC-45 Shaker Beige and sets off a nice calming feel. The depth of orange in this colour  2175-30 Rust is a perfect pairing with lighter toned flooring. Painting only a few walls is a perfect way to make the dining area stand out.

Gold leaf walls are luxurious and reflective, and can be pricey.  We suggest one focal wall to glam up your space, gold leaf or gold paint.

Kelly green

The name kelly green for the color originated in Ireland. The name derives from the fact that the surname Kelly, as well as the color green, are both popular in Ireland. The first recorded use of the term kelly green as a color name in English was in 1917.  Kelly green is most associated with the color you see on St. Patrick’s Day decorations. It is a medium, bright green color. It is usually considered a spring color, so you will see it more at that time.
