January, 2011

p>Happy New Year!  Gather your thoughts and your creative energy and decide what changes you can make to your home to improve your home for market or just for your enjoyment.

Here is my Staging & Decor segment form January 4, 2011 on FOX5 Good Day Atlanta. This house was a lot of fun…the biggest challenge was one of the bathrooms was painted black…COMPLETELY..baseboards, walls, ceiling, crown molding…everything was black!  We used Behr Paint and Primer in One to cover the walls, it covered in one coat…however we used two coats for coverage.  The bathroom was very spacious approx 10″ x 10′ but the black paint made the bathroom appear small and cave-like…not in a good way.  So my team and I went to work and brightened up the wall with a neutral paint color called “Brandished Clay” to open up the room and warm it up a bit.  The black and white floor tiles provided a nice contrast for the Crimson accents of the shower curtain and accessories.  This bathroom is proof that you can give a space new life with paint and the right accessories.  TMW
