We would not love our home so very much AND have so enjoyed the process of making a new house our home if we had not worked with Cathy. What an expert, and what a joy she is! Her depth of knowledge about color and light is amazing. Cathy really connected to what we like […]

We didn’t know we needed a color specialist until my husband and I spent over 4 weekends choosing colors for our office.  The time, effort and money spent picking a color we thought we liked, painting the room, and disliking the outcome was incredibly frustrating.  When a neighbor recommended Cathy, we decided that it would […]

We needed help updating both the interior and exterior of our home. My husband and I tend to be drawn in different directions, and then we don’t like either of our choices once they are installed. Cathy was able to quickly pick up on what works for both of us, and develop color palettes that […]

The front door is painted and gorgeous! It’s so funny how such a little thing can help so much. I’ve wanted to do something with the door forever and painting it saved me a lot of money from buying a new one! This is all I needed. Thanks! Debby  Boulder, CO

My house wasn’t working for me anymore

My house wasn’t working for me anymore

It was late summer and about a year and a half after Marianne took her solo journey down that lonesome valley from which there is no return.  Sitting alone in the living room, it became increasingly apparent that my house was not working for me anymore.  There was just too much stuff, having spent over […]

| March 24, 2013 | Reply

Adding color to our many white walls was more than we felt comfortable dealing with. So we asked Cathy to help us. That she did indeed do! It was so easy to work with her; she was always on time and followed up after each phase. Cathy created a whole house color design that worked […]

When I contemplated the project of painting our living room and dining room I was overwhelmed.  I had done lots of painting myself…picking the colors and doing the job for small bedrooms and bathrooms.  But the living room was going to be too big for me…vaulted ceilings!  I knew it would require professional painters and that […]
