The only comment anyone has made about the color choices that Barbara lead me to is:
“How beautiful.”
Seems easy to do, but I was never able to do so on my own—for more than 55 years. The results and benefits are genuine and long lived.

Residential color design: interior and exterior
Barbara provided thoughtful, clear, and sound advice on the wall colors for our downstairs. She was prompt, responsive and happy to provide detailed follow through.
She demonstrated a wealth of knowledge about color and paint, and was a nice person to interact with. Along with the provided advice that matched our tastes, she also injected helpful ideas we hadn’t considered (unlike other designers I’ve worked who were either too wishy-washy or too pushy).
My wife and I are very happy with the results.

Barbara’s digital viewing process is fantastic! We used it for exterior colors but we will also use it for interiors as well. Saves a ton of time and money buying and testing paint.
