About Jenny Wojcik
Expertise
Decor: I've written about it, planned it, designed it and colored it, and I've never stopped loving it. It's not what you spend, or who made it, it's how it makes you feel. I take pride in assisting people with virtually every aspect of making their homes more comfortable and livable on a budget! As an advisor and decorator, I have assisted many do-it-yourselfers in the quest for developing their own unique home style.

Experience
College, advertising, public relations, marketing, free-lance writing and a plethora of creative endeavors have led me here. A stint at a law firm taught me humility too, but I really never scratched the creative itch until I became an Interior Decorator. Some three thousand questions ago, I wondered if I could really help. I think now that I am, and it feels great to give something back.

Decorating & Furniture - interior paint color


Expert: Jenny Wojcik - 1/28/2006

Question
I have a home that was built circa 1963.  The interior has wood floors and trim that has turned a darker shade with a touch of yellow to the sealer.  The living room has very little natural light.  It also contains a brick fireplace.  I love the brick and the color of the wood trim, but am looking for a paint color to make the room appear larger and warmer and lighter. My furniture is done in jewel tones.  I really like colors with yellow undertones.  Any suggestions on a paint color would help greatly!!


Answer
Why not use a golden yellow.  Take a look at Glidden's gold tones (at Home Depot) particularly, Dessert Camel.  You can't go wrong with a medium gold for the room.  It will certainly make the room feel cozier and lighter.  Keep your wall color in a medium shade of whatever color you select.

Regards,
Jenny
