Description

Have you ever said, "I didn't know choosing paint colors was going to be so hard!" Have you ever walked into a paint store and become completely overwhelmed with too many color choices? Or have you ever made a mistake choosing the wrong color and now you're afraid to ever choose colors again? Cindy Gelormini, aka "The Paint Diva" is a professional paint color expert who has helped tens of thousands of clients choose paint colors. She has created the method outlined in this book that she uses with all of her clients. This is not an Interior Design book, but rather it's a very practical, step-by-step way to choose paint colors that makes the process of color selection incredibly simple and stress free. In the beginning of the book, she gives easy to understand explanations of how to see the undertones in the paint colors. She breaks them into 4 Color Season Palettes and includes a list of her favorite colors by Benjamin Moore and Sherwin Williams. Next, she walks the reader through room by room explaining how to choose the right colors for each space. She discusses choosing colors for the walls, ceilings and trim, which finish to use, and even which types of paint to use. You'll learn the correct way to sample colors and find solutions to problem situations like having low ceilings, or where to start and stop colors in an open layout. By the time you finish reading the book you'll feel like a color expert yourself! You'll have colors chosen for every room in your home and can record them on the worksheet provided at the end of the book.
