What do you want to see when you look up?

Most ceilings are white.  Who started this trend?  Paint a wall red, and add a white ceiling... before you know it, something is amiss.  It's amazing, when I see how most clients are afraid of color!  The majority of people were raised to believe... accepting a white ceiling is as commonplace as accepting peanut butter and jelly!

Oh,  how we miss the boat!  Think warm, enveloping tones with "out of the box" finishes.   Live your style, and step out of safety.  Would you be satisfied, with your wardrobe, if everyday you had to wear a white shirt?  Let your passion run wild!  I always find myself wondering... if I looked into the nights sky, to find only black abyss,  what would become of our world?

Today I created a ceiling with a giraffe crackle border.  I am continually amazed when I realize a ceiling can be as sexy as seeing a voluptuous woman, in a low cut blouse!  How can you make your home sexy?  Stay tuned, for the transformations to follow.
