Dining Room with Depth
To help break up the monochromatic feeling of this dining room the chair rail was put to use to create a lower wall color lighter than the new gray blue upper wall color. The butler pantry is changed to the main hallway color and looses the faux stripe finish.  See Copper Bling pic for color flow.2013-01-28

Blah beige
This tired dining room and butler pantry need a boost.  The butler pantry has a stripe finish on the upper wall. 2012-09-15

Copper Bling
The new copper color in the kitchen brings the details to life in the back splash that otherwise would just define the stove area; now its details sparkle a little more.  2013-01-28

Kitchens can help connect other rooms in the house too.  This copper color connects the living room and family room.2013-01-28

Modern Lake House
Brewster Gray HC-162 accented the new tile in this lakeside home to give it a modern, open feel.

Angle Detail
Brewster Gray Hc-162 paired with Hc-168 Chelsea Gray in the lakeside kitchen

Modern Lakeside Kitchen
The warm wood is complemented with an urban feel with horizontal wire loft railings and Brewter Gray HC-162. The homeowner warmed up the stove exhuast pipe by tying in the wood tone to the connecting pieces.

Kitchen Open to Family Room
Splendor AF-385 unites the kitchen counter tops and cabinets with the open floor plan to the family room.

Peach of an idea
The homeowner wanted a soft peach color for the kitchen. Ansonia peach HC-52 fit the requirements.

Smoothing out the wood strength
The feature of this kitchen was the wood cone ceiling. The homeowner was drawn to peach colors. We found the perfect fit with Ansonia peach HC-52 to coordinate the cabinet and ceiling, while giving everything equal balance.

Hallway Uses Color Carry Thru
The hallway in this home was painted the main color so it could seamlessly transition into the bathroom and bedrooms' colors. 2013-03-04

Transition Hall Color
This color is on the darker side for some hallways, but the lighting worked to bring the main living area taupe into the hallway and to showcase the master bedroom's smokey purple walls. 2013-04-25

Master Bedroom

Light and bright

This master bathroom was previously a very, very dark mossy green.  The homeowners were planning to add an larger window to the space.  Now with the new paint color it is light a airy, even if they would have picked different tiles.....no extra window needed now.

From white to peachy keen
Builder white is changed to a soft peach to compliment the homeowner's skin tone. 2012-08-18

Metallic Faux
Main floor powder room gets a metallic faux treatment.

Master Bathroom Glam
Gray Mountain 1462 gets some glam with a sparkling crystal sconce.

Purple Gray
Gray Mountain 1462 keeps this master bathroom masculine with a touch of purple for the femine touch.

Bright, colorful Powderroom
Anjou Pear AF-425. This powder room is bright and cheerful in the muted pear green.

Laundry/mud room
A small space wouldn't seem like a big challange-but these cabinets put on a good fight. We found BM Indian White OC-88 calmed the space down while remaining bright enough.

Powder room with Umph
Not a girly pink, but a dramatic grown up pink for this main floor powder room. BM chippendale rosetone HC-58

Waterbury Cream HC-31
A color mix of green and creamy yellow. Not sage, not gray, not gold. Perfect fit.

Chamois 1108
To differentiate off the hallway color (powder puff 1143, chamois tied the bathroom elements together but kept the room light.

Making a border seemless
Chamois 1108

Uniting the Tile with the Wall
Walls were white. Now the tile melds into the space and makes the bathroom feel roomier and warmer.

Jamesboro Gold HC-88
7-2011. Love HC-88, but it doesn't work in everyone's space, so I was quite pleased the rich brown, gold color was perfect for this masterbathroom. The window wall is painted in Bennington Gray HC-82 to help give HC-88 extra accent value.

Accenting Bathroom Walls
7-2011. Carrying the master bedroom colors into the master bath unified the rooms and made the space with lots of tile and hard surfaces much warmer.

The foyer now color flows into the great room. 2012-12-13

Girly Chair Better Than a Chaise
The homeowner added this fun 'girly' chair instead of a chaise to allow more traffic flow from the great room into the kitchen.  The two different paint colors define the spaces, but allow visual flow. 2012-12-13

Lakeside Family room
Connected to the kitchen, this family room is in HC-162 Brewster Gray and HC-168 Chelsea Gray and ties in with connecting hallway and kitchen.

Music Room
Faux finish in three colors: granite AF-660, silhoutte AF-655 and caponata AF-650.

Streamlined Colors
The fireplace has the same stone as the new exterior. The room is open to the kitchen, so accent walls are opposite in HC-162 Brewster Gray and adjoining walls are in HC-168 Chelsea Gray.

White walls (before)

Lenox Tan HC-44 was used on a single wall in the foyer to complement the fireplace also in HC-44. Both are visible when you enter in the front door.

Eye Pleasing Fireplace
Lenox Tan HC-44 added a color change to the great room with HC-93 Carrington Beige. It also provided an eye pleasing transition to the kitchen side of the fireplace that is in a wine/burgandy color.

Painted Brick
Fireplace OC-1 natural wicker~was red brick; walls: HC-74 Valley Forge Brown

Room Connections
Window wall accented in HC-74 Valley Forge Brown to tie in with adjcent LR also in HC-74.

Color transition
HC-79 greenbrier beige and HC-74 valley forge brown

Comfy Living Room
Accents of rust and warm golden brown tones change this plain living room into a comfortable gathering place right off the foyer.

Front Room
Metorpolitan AF-690. Smooth smokey blue/gray. Lovely!

Front room nook
Metropolitan AF-690. Soft but noted background for a reading nook.

Arch detail
The lower section of the column is Woodstock Tan HC-20 and ties in with the family room fire place that you see from the foyer. Upper wall is Splendor AF-385, the main house color.

Tying the Inspiration Piece Together
Colors of the inspiration piece, the foyer rug, tie the rooms of the house together. Splendor, Metropolitan, Woodstock Tan and Antique White.

Inspiration Piece
The foyer rug helped determine the color families we would choose from.

Splendid Two Story Family Room
Splendor AF=385 warms up this tall space and connects the kitchen to the area as well.

Chris's Office Pick
This room was painted when I came over for the color consultation. Duxbury Gray HC-163. Love to spec this color in the right situation now.

Splendor in Family Room
The grand space of the family room is cozied up with Splendor AF-385

Loft to Family Room
Splendor ties the loft, kitchen and foyer together.

Living room
Hush AF-95

Family Room
Safari AF-335 with accent wall in Carob AF-160

Coordinate woods
The walls were as white as the ceiling before. Now the angled wood ceilings relate to the space with BM Brookline beige HC-47.

Warming up the Great Room
This room has so much warm wood, a warm, darker beige was needed to balance it.

Open plan with loft
The loft divides the foyer and greatroom, but the walls are like one with no clear cut off. BM Brookline Beige HC-47 fit the entire space.

A way to keep the wood unpainted
By changing the white walls to BM Brookline Beige HC-47, the wood on the angle ceiling and trim work make sense in the room and help add accent to the darker wood around the fireplace.

Family Room with flow

 The new wall color makes the built in entertainment center and the fire place tiles unite to give this family room a contemporary, clean line look.

Living room in Use

This living room is a functioning part of the house.  To create a flow from it to the Family room, both used the same color BM Cream Soda 1082.

Living room and Foyer connection

Tints and shades: Foyer in King Arthur's Court 1081 and Living room in Cream Soda 1082.  The colors are definately personal to this space.  Most rooms can pull too much pink.  They work perfect in the spaces.

Slate Blue/Gray
7-2011. Duxbury Gray HC-163 was the perfect fit of a 'slate gray' to add color and warmth to a large family room.

Slate Blue/Gray 2
7-2011. Duxbury Gray HC-163 adds a slate blue depth to an open, two story great room. The hallway in bennington gray HC-82 ties hallways into the foyer and garage entry door.

Upper view
7-2011. The second story has a loft opening to look into the family room. Duxbury Gray HC-163 defines the room and adds warmth at the same time.

A 'Great' Great Room
Walls: China white. The wall next to the piano was a sage green. Now the accent wall is the loft wall (see pic in this album). Have suggested moving piano to face fireplace on same wall, at angle; angle red sofa, flank fireplace w/ wingback chairs. . .

Terri after (3).jpg
The main area was a light sage green. It fit the space, but did not go with the client's new furniture. Coastal Path AF-380 fit the area perfectly.

Terri after (4).jpg
While the foyer has defined wall space, the client kept the color the same as the great room.

Inspiration piece number one on the back wall.

Terri after (6).jpg
I suggested keeping the hallway a bit lighter than the main color. HC-26 monroe bisque worked in this space nicely.

No accent wall needed here. The client's style lent to keeping the space moving and open.
