Picking paint colors – Week # 3 ORC
This week we had to paint. The house sits on a ledge high up a mountain side with the sun glaring in from three sides but with a steep hill behind the house. The front terrace pool bounces a weird blue light in to the house so it’s by far the most difficult house I’veREAD MORE Picking paint colors – Week # 3 ORC →

My TOP 10 paint colors for the BEDROOM (that will help you sleep)
Paint colors. One of my favorite subjects. While I love bold paint colors in a home (and lots of them), in the master bedroom I prefer peaceful soothing colors as a back drop.

In the perfect bedroomREAD MORE My TOP 10 paint colors for the BEDROOM (that will help you sleep) →

We're finally painting!
A few days ago we started painting, not all of the house, but enough so we at least can move in.

We’re going to move in to the guest room for the first couple of weeks until the floor goes down. The plan for that room is to be a Beverly Hills hotel inspired suite with my own twist, so it was painted coral.READ MORE We're finally painting! →
