Spring Cleaning

2010.
Time to freshen up with a new attitude.
It’s as easy as 1-2-3. Here’s how:

Think Paint…
Nothing perks up a room like a fresh coat of paint. Get rid of those blah beiges, woeful whites, and gloomy greys. With so many yummy colors to choose from, the possibilities are endless.

Our favorites: Benjamin Moore ‘Urban Nature’ (AF-440) and ‘Flora’ (AF-470) – both shades are from the Affinity Colors Collection where every paint color is made to work with all the others in the palette. Foolproof decorating a la carte!

Snap a Shot…
We tend to stop ‘seeing’ what our spaces really look like after long-term relationships with furniture. Taking photographs helps to capture an impression of each room. It allows us to see familiar spaces through a ‘stranger’s eyes’. Try this… it works!

Trim the Fat…
Really look at your photographs. What is the first thing that pops out at you in every shot? Where does your eye go first and do you like what you see?
Very often clutter is the first impression. Evaluate what you actually need and what you actually love, then pare down or eliminate the rest. The cardinal rule of interior design… ’Less is More’. Always.

“Limitations live only in our minds. But if we use our imaginations, our possibilities become limitless.”
- Jamie Paolinetti
