My house has a tin roof that is a burgundy shade, but I think burgundy door and shutters is overkill. Please help me figure out another color that will complement it. I am thinking black ...»

    She has white accents, and the shutters would enhance, not do harm aesthetically speaking. The door could be anything, really, due to the yard she has. Even a Grass GREEN!!! It would tie everything together and look welcoming.

  • Dreamy new colors in the bedroom make all the difference.
  • Bold red, and knotty wood wasn't doing anything for the  "mood" in this bedroom.  It was time for a change.
  • We started out the weekend just painting the walls a new color but that bed just kept calling to me....

The Power of Paint

Sometimes all it takes is a little paint to entirely change the mood and feel of a room. What do you do when you hear that voice inside your head that says "go ahead and paint that wood...you know you want to!"

    concern that they will 'come off' anything other than ceramics or wood (paper of course). So I'd love to take part in this party as well! I think something with the drop cloth would be cool. Is it a plain beigy color?
