Color Consulting
Extensive experience with most interior and exterior paints is an immense help when choosing color, brand and sheen. Each consult is billed by the hour, beginning with listening to client expectations and ideas. Laura will then work with several fan-decks, not limiting the color choices to one company's choices. The color consult is completed with written instructions including color names, codes, sheen, and amount of paint needed. Laura always keeps a copy for her records so there is no confusion when you meet with your contractor or paint supplier. Color consults can be completed via the internet also.
Before: This country kitchen had been painted in a semi-gloss off-white from ceiling to floor
Sherwin Williams "Ablaze"on walls. SW Proclassic water base "Apple White" for the upper cabinets. Using the White on the uppers and Oak finish on the lower cabinets gives the room a more open feel by visually continuing the white from the ceiling and the wood tones from the floor to the lower cabinets.

3 layers of linoleum and subfloors covered the natural wood floors. This room was re-designed. Inspired by the vintage enamel dinette table, upper cabinets remained and were finished in an oil base, satin sheen white. Badly damaged lower cabinets and counter were replaced.
Cabinet paint is used for the trim. In this photo you can see how matte paint on the ceiling removes the glare seen in the 'before' pictures

Plain off white for many years, now rich greens highlight the architectural elements that were unnoticeable in white.
