Color Consultation  

The Christmas Season is approaching fast!  I can not believe the hectic holiday is right around the corner.  With this Thanksgiving week coming up so quickly, I know everyone is grabbing for ideas what to give a friend or loved one for Christmas.  I invite you to look at my color consultation for a great gift! 

My color consultation is a reasonable gift ($50.00 for one room)!  A gift certificate is mailed and the paint consult can be done at the receiver’s leisure.  Feedback from customers has been that this service is the gift that keeps on giving.  They paint their rooms and enjoy the fresh results throughout the year.  Please email me at lesley@lesleydaviddesign.com for any questions that you might have about the service.  It is as simple as 1…2…3!

I love this concept from Benjamin Moore!  Affinity Palette Exclusive is a new  and original color palette to Benjamin Moore’s high performance Aura Paint! It consists of 144 versatile hues that all harmoniously go together.  So if you love one color and need two more to coordinate…….pick two more from the color deck and an instant color palette is created!

I was sceptical at first so I did thumb through the color deck and found that the concept really worked.  I think this a great tool for the ‘confused on a perfect palette’.  Benjamin Moore offers a wide selection of neutrals. Below is the neutral color, French Press, from the Affinity Collection.  This chocolate brown hue is striking offsetting the cream silk draperies.

The Scott Family used the grouped Affinity Colors in their Westfield Home and shared the project on their website.  Click on each color and view the room.  Job well done!  Good taste paired with The Affinity Collection makes for a beautiful home!

I want to start off sharing my favorite color.  Palladian Blue from Benjamin Moore is my fave.  Currently the outside of my house is this color!  I have to admit, I was even scared when they put up the first coat, but nine years later I still love the decision.  The beauty of Palladian Blue is that it switches from blue to a soft green depending on the sunlight and person viewing the color.  I tell people, I am the blue house with yellow shutters and when they arrive, they tell me…….. “blue house, I see green”.

Paint color seems to be a hard decision.  Sometimes, neutral seems too boring and you are thinking…. something with a little more color.  Try green! It is also a neutral.  Green is one of those colors that is easy to live with.  I find more and more customers are happy with a shade of green on their interior walls.  Males and females tend to adjust well with green inside.  I think because the color reflects the outside…… bringing nature into our homes.  

This Urban Country Kitchen and Dining Room pictured below is featured on an episode of Debbie Travis Painted-House. 

The unique checkerboard pattern with green paint gives a whimsical touch to the country kitchen.  The environment is warm and inviting.  I can just see Thanksgiving Dinner around the table! 

Osborne & Little uses cream walls to offset fabulous green panels accompanied by a brown sofa. Think about fabrics in shades of green, instead of painting your walls.  The combo of brown and green makes for an elegant and current room.  See other roomsets and inspiration to create ideas for your room palette.

  Green, a neutral, that provides color!
