The designer has to take into account all the "givens", i.e. brick color, mortar color, roof color, neighboring structures, etc. as well as the client's personal preferences in order to achieve a truly successful color scheme.

Interior Design Project Testimonial:

"I cannot imagine a better client-designer experience than what I had with Mary Donovan. My project included selecting interior colors for our entire house, redecorating our den, and getting lots of ideas on updating almost every room in our house."

"I never felt pressured to do something I was not comfortable with. Mary went shopping with me and I always came home happy with what I had purchased.  Mary is so good with selecting colors, furniture, and accessories in the appropriate sizes and arrangements."

-Virginia L., homeowner 

Kitchen Update - Keeping Cabinets White

These clients recognized that their entire kitchen was out of style. They were tired of the busy wallpaper they had chosen when the house was new.

With so much updating needed throughout their house the clients asked that all of the kitchen be redone except for the cabinets. The updated kitchen was accomplished with new overhead lighting, new undercabinet lighting, new solid surface countertops, wallpaper removal, new wall paint color, new dishwasher, new sink, and new hardware on the cabinets.

 Two Different Porches - Updated

 Porches are very much back in style!!!!

This first porch featured newer furnishings and floor tiles but its white, monochromatic color scheme and white ceiling fan left a lot to be desired.

The solution was a new ceiling fan as well as new wall, ceiling and trim colors. 

When the clients put their furnishings back everything flowed together beautifully.
