| 2009-04-20 | Ruth | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much, Cyndie, for your very quick and helpful response. Now I understand why the dining room colors don't work with the rest of the house. We're taking your advice and painting the area under the chair rail the same teal color that's under the chair rail going up the stairs. We did one wall so far and it looks great. Thank you again! |

| 2009-01-29 | Denise | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-01-28 | Denise | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | |
| 2009-01-28 | Lisa | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | I love these suggestions !!! I had never thought about balancing the ceiling with the floor .. or bedding. I will send you pictures as I progress through the design. The painters are arriving tomorrow so I can send photos soon. The Madura fabric is not the one you thought - it is called Duomo and it is a silvery/taupe with a very subtle medallion pattern (large pattern). The paint is slightly lighter than the fabric. Thank you so much - you answered my questions before the painters arrived, you gave me such good advice I can't wait to get this room started! |

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.
