"Before we had our house painted, I did not like the exterior look at all.
The colors Mary selected complemented the color of the brick rather than making it stand out. Now I love the outside
of our house." - Beth K., homeowner

Interior Design Client Testimonial "The interior paint color choices Mary made for our house were excellent
as well. The paint colors highlighted the architectural features (fireplace,cabinets and windows) of our home beautifully.
The twenty foot high ceilings in our home's foyer and living room had made it feel like an amphitheater. The colors
Mary chose turned these rooms into comfortable places to entertain." - Beth K., homeowner

Exterior Paint Colors - Stucco
& Stacked Stone Home
This family, thinking of moving, wanted a real estate staging consultation,
both indoors and out. Color changes were needed plus the foundation plantings were too dense and overgrown. The exterior Before picture shows the older
yellow stucco with white trim combination that was out of date. The foundation plantings were creating a cluttered appearance.
The new color scheme is up-to-date
yet conservative in nature so it appeals to a large homebuying audience.
|
| BEFORE - outdated colors on stucco and stone home |
|
| AFTER - warmer colors on stucco home flatter the stonework and roof even in winter |
"On
two earlier occasions my wife and I picked out the colors when we repainted our house. We never had anyone notice that
we had repainted nor complement our choices. With Mary's help, the third time was the charm. She put together
multiple choices for us. We actually picked her favorite which used four different colors and it looks fantastic.
We can't even begin to count the compliments we've received. Two-three hours of her time can make all the difference
in the world. She's good!" - Wayne Light,
homeowner
