I’m here in Toronto leading one of my Specify Colour with Confidence™ Trainings and I was walking by these two front doors and had to show you. You know what’s cool about front doors? Because they are an accent colour and you want them to be noticed, they can be brighter and cleaner than usual. I…

Vintage is really the prettiest (source) So I have a confession. Call me unsophisticated but I had no idea cutlery (which is what I thought it was called) or silverware is actually called flatware. And I’m pretty excited because on the way home from Seattle yesterday we stopped at Crate and Barrel and bought a…

A designer emailed me the other day asking whether taking a few drops of red out of Muslin would give her the perfect colour she needed for a clients bathroom. It’s been so long since I tried to ‘tweak’ a paint colour for a client, I forgot that I used to think it was a…

Unfortunately, nothing. Could not think of a single little thing to connect the two, and sadly it’s what I’m working on all weekend as I have a commitment to get them done by Monday for my meeting with my Accountant. I am still in the dark ages with my books, I seriously need to get…
