Welcome to my Blog

Although I have been involved in the Design Industry for the past 13 years I see myself as more of a "design on a dime" designer. I've been involved in kitchen and bath design, residential additions and remodels, and commercial construction. My experiences have given me insight as to the most cost effective way to achieve the look you are going for. Great design does not have to be expensive, nor does the cost of a product have any bearing on it's quality for it's purpose. I strongly believe in re-purposing products. Through my blog I will share with you some of my tips and findings on my creative journey.

Green,green,green

.........I'm not talking about the term for eco-friendly products but the actual color.  Green is considered a neutral color by the color institute.  So forget the days of painting your home beiges, tans, creams, with the thought that later these colors will make the home more appealing if you were to sale it.  Go for a shade of green! 
To keep up to date on the latest color trends check out the Pantone Color Institute website:

I receive the Better Homes and Gardens magazine each month and they always have a decorating color theme mentioned in each issue with coordinating paint manufacturers and numbers.  Check out their color choosing guides on the website below:
