Happy New Year to you all!
Just saw this looming over Albany Bulb which I see as a good omen for 2016…
It has been such a busy year and now that the rain is falling and I am cozied up in my office for a few days, I want to share some of the many highlights from 2015.
2015 was definitely the year for dark colored exteriors with bright pops of color…here’s a great example.
Starting off a soft yellow-green…
And definitely in need of some love, attention, scraping and sanding…
Now down to the bone – always so beautiful to me to see the grain…
The very lovely owners went for a gorgeous deep, deep blue…
And a bright yellow door to pop…
Talking of pops, here are a series of little popping details from the year that I just love…
A windowless laundry room that popped with a bright orange door against some deliciously acid green walls…
And a fun chalk board rectangle against some bright, cheery walls…
A beautiful pinky-red door against gray walls…
Changing from off white steps…
To a bold, deep red…
Fruity green walls with bright white windows to the world…
Deep gray ceiling and walls allowing the white ceramics and trim to jump out…
And on the larger side, this beautiful house went from an off white…
To a couple of rich blues to match the skies…
And the white did all the popping…
I loved this modern deep gray home with a bright orange door and some very well chosen plants working as the icing on the cake…
And sometimes its about taking the paint off altogether…
And keeping things very simple…
Allowing the wood to look it’s best…
And giving some cedar siding…
An extra beautiful glow…
Taking some intricate weather beaten doors…
Back in time to their former glory…
Here’s another soft green house that we sanded down…
And painted this lovely very deep teal-ish green…
Teaching us that it’s all about the contrast…
And the addition of stylish new numbers always makes a big difference…
And sometimes opting for those natural earthy tones are just the ticket…Subtle, elegant and endlessly appealing…
Back soon with more pictures, meanwhile stay dry and warm.
Thank you to all my lovely clients from 2015.
See you soon,
Ros
