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 I'm going for an ocean/beachy theme for my house. The upstairs bedrooms are painted in behr bedroom 1. Seafoam pearl 470A-2, bedroom 2 southern beauty 140C-1, and bedroom 3 gentle rain 790e-2, the living and dining room are painted in calm air 300e-2, The only rooms I have left are the kitchen and bathroom. The bathroom is bottom half tile and top half dry wall. The wall is painted white and the top and bottom row of the tile is black with the middle being white. Would the bathroom look better painted white or blue and what type and color would look good? The kitchen will have white cabinets with a black and white granite countertop, would that room look better painted in yellow or blue and what color and type of floor would match?
Thank you,
LisaAnne
Answer Hi Lisa,
Nice colors! For your bathroom take a look at Mystic Harbor a nice blue-violet that will look great with the black accent and for your kitchen how about a yellow green such as Celery Spring or if you want more of a blue...stake a look at Windwood spring.
Your doing a great job so far, I can almost smell the ocean air. I love the beach colors.
I hope this helps you. Let me know if you have any other questions.
