Painting the trim on your doors and windows is a small and (relatively) easy and quick change that you can make that has a pretty decent visual impact. It’s fun to play! I’m not against the trim being white, I just don’t think it should be the default. Would love to know what you think!

Ch-ch-ch-changes! No biggie, and nothing has changed but the name. But Color Chats have officially become House Calls. Everything else is just as good and juicy and full as before, the new name is just a little more reflective of all that goes on. Because we never ONLY talk about color in our time together. And yes, it’s the hook, you know I love me some color, but I care more, deeply infact, about helping you create a home that is a true expression of you!

Yes, it’s a lot, but it’s also everything I was hoping it would be and more. I love to layer living spaces in lots of texture, pattern and color, mixing up the scale of things and seeing what works. I loved this room before, but now it feels complete and the combo of green in the wallpaper and the pink in the dining room feels like this is how it was always meant to be. Figuring these things out takes time and is always a work in progress. But it’s so fun to play and push the idea of what’s possible.
