Truthfully, Color Changes Everything

Written by faith | 2

I am passionate about color, and yes, it does change everything. Especially in an interior design project, the mood and feeling is altered by the colors selected. To get you in the mood, I have Target and Weiden Kennedy to thank for saying it SO well.

Color Changes Everything

For example, what about the bedroom? What colors will soothe you to sleep and welcome you to your day? Thanks to Benjamin Moore I have some ideas.

Is it a quiet, monochromatic setting with tone-on-tone colors and textiles?

Can You Color Your Ceiling?

I’m a color-lover in my Seattle interior design practice. I love the uplift that color adds to interior design. And one of my favorite places to find inspiration is at the Benjamin Moore Facebook Page.

What happens when you color your ceiling? The mood and feeling of the room is altered so if you paint a ceiling, know in advance the mood you want to create. Here are two examples:

Musings About Leprechauns, Green and St.Pat’s Day

Written by faith | 0

Growing up in a family that loves ALL things Irish, my memories abound around St. Paddy’s Day. On that day I donned something green, an Irish button, ate corned beef and sent celebratory cards. I especially enjoy the legend of the Leprechaun. The ‘wee folk’ make mischief so if you capture one, be very careful. You will have 3 wishes. As an interior designer in Seattle, I still LOVE green…and have some wishes.

My 3 wishes are GREEN for sure but interpreted differently!

Three or more of these will be JUST fine with me.

These days I’m loving Converse, Trina Turk for Schumacher and Anthropologie to name a few.

 

Next, I’m focused on Benjamin Moore greens.. an abundant offering of them is available.

Benjamin Moore Greens for March

Add some green to your home with Benjamin Moore

From left to right the color names are: Stem Green, Lewiville Green, Fresh Cut Grass, Cedar Green, Mesquite. I like the vibrant Stem Green for a laundry room, a kitchen with white cabinets, an accent wall. Where would you use it?
Reuse, Reinvent, Recycle
The go-to message: Reclaim furniture from your family that lingers in attics or basements. Check out an estate sale auction. My clients did this with an early 20th century settee family heirloom. It was in pieces, horsehair filling smelled awful but now it’s a useful family treasure. I used Cowtan and Tout Baudelaire Stripe.

Seattle Interior Designer says Red = Hugs, Heart, Happiness

Written by faith | 2

First, a confession from Faith, your Seattle interior designer. I am happy in a room with anything RED. Red sparks my creative spirit, ups my energy and warms me in all the good ways. February is the month of love and passion ~ and RED. I prefer to associate RED with hugs, hearts and happiness. I am SO happy in a room with anything red!

Faith’s RED Inspirations for February

My RED inspirations for Valentine's Day

My preferred places for red in interior design and remodeling projects are powder rooms, dining rooms and front doors. After that, I introduce them into accessories in much the same way I use them in my wardrobe. Think of using red as you might use shoes, a purse, scarf, belt, sweater or jacket.

In this powder room in the Madison Park neighborhood of Seattle, I added lots of spice by painting with Benjamin Moore Chili Pepper Red, 2004-20.
