Getting Complex in Weddington, NC

All colors are from the Sherwin Williams Paint deck. 

Complex neutrals that is. Look at this amazing color scheme!! I just had a Color Consultation here in Weddington, North Carolina which is in the outskirts of Charlotte. My lovely client Pam has a huge home, open floor plan and more nooks and crannies then a Thomas English muffin - gorgeous home!

She contacted me the other day asking if I could please help her with color. She found an article in the local paper that featured my Color Consulting and she had to have me to choose color for her the very next day.

“Your just what I'm looking for!” Pam said. I was glad to help her. This is her situation. Like I said, she has a big beautiful home with many twists and turns. I was able to see 5 rooms and the upper hallway from standing in front of her fireplace. She would love to have bold, bright colors but … she plans to sell her home in 2 years. Hello neutrals!!!

Having just taken the amazing Color Certification class with Kate Smith and Kiki Titterud of Sensational Color, my color skills were fine-tuned. Who would think a Color Specialist would need to get a refresher course after 20 years? Well it was exactly what I needed! I flew through this color consultation with flying colors - no pun intended. The best part about it is this beautiful color scheme, which Pam loved beyond words. As a matter of fact, here are her words in an email she sent to me.

Dear Donna, Thank you so much for the productive consultation yesterday.  You put me at ease and came up with the perfect selections.  I am so excited to get started. I would not hesitate to recommend your services, such a positive experience. Pam G What I was surprised to hear from Pam while we were chatting at her home was that she preferred to have a Color Specialist help her with color instead of an Interior Designer. “Interior Designers try to sell you all kinds of things once they get in your home. Since I know you specialize in just color, I know THAT is what I was going to get”.  I still have to put my color portfolio together but I just HAD to show you how amazing this scheme looks. It has a great flow (hard to tell on monitors) and the undertones change slightly from room to room. A few rooms do have an accent color to anchor the scheme and each color I chose matches and incorporates her decor.  I would like to thank Kate and Kiki for the fine tuning they provided for me and again, I HIGHLY recommend taking their course. You won't believe how it will change your views on color or fine tune what you think you already know! Would I have been able to do with without the certification class? Of course but I'm so glad I did. To be updated on color trends, reunited with the color wheel and just some tips and tricks from the Pros was just what I needed to get my business soaring. Wait to you see what I have in store for the Queen city next. I'll give you a hint … it's going to be very colorful!!
