Experience I began as a decorative painter/artist 15 years ago. My work has appeared in magazines from award winning designer show houses in New Jersey and Pennsylvania and Architectural Digest. Most recently I have spent the last 3 years creating, developing and patenting a numerical color selection system that takes the subjective nature out of color. Since it is numerically based, color can be chosen quickly and accurately. For the past year, I have conducted training seminars for the "Color with No Regrets" System to decorating professionals around the United States. My background in decorative painting/art, has given me real life experience of how color works but more importantly why it works based on sound color principles. I am also an authorized Aqua Finishing Solutions Distributor and a certified training instructor for the Society of Decorating Professionals.

Question my husband painted the fence a bright brick color i hate it could you reccomend a color that would blend with a spanish white house
Answer Hi Vel,
Is it possible for you to send me a picture of your house? I am thinking in terms of gray or a tan, something more neutral. What color is your roof? Please let me know so I can provide you with more specific colors and information. Thanks.
