  Windows, trim and baseboards don't have to be always white - in fact, sometimes white will look
  all wrong, and a creamy/ivory color (or even a shade of the wall color) will work best.For
  more, see: Ch...

• Posted in thread: Master Bedroom Help! PLEASE! on 04-01-2010 at 08:21 AM
  Based on your description, you already have at least 5 colors in your decor. So to find a paint
  color for the walls, it's better to re-use one of the existing colors, instead of introducing a
  new one.

  Even though white reflects light better than most colors, it doesn't add light to a space by
  itself. The only color that adds luminosity is yellow, period. I recently wrote an article
  about choosing p...

  another idea is to do some faux wood graining on your beams - with the right tools and all the
  how-to information available now, you don't even have to hire an artist for that. Yelena

• Posted in thread: website for exterior color matching on 02-23-2010 at 08:30 PM
  Most paint companies have some kind of virtual painting software available on their sites. I
  personally like the one from Sherwin Williams - Color Visualizer: will take a couple of
  minutes to load, t...

• Posted in thread: My bedroom is a disaster.. on 02-22-2010 at 06:34 PM
  The current stain color is in a disastrous condition - to make it look really good, you have to
  re-finish the wood (wood cleaners won't help much in this case), and it's very labor intensive.
  So even ...

• Posted in thread: Woodwork is White, can the doors be stained on 02-22-2010 at 06:20 PM
  you can pull it off - as long as you stay consistent throughout your entire house (meaning all
  the doors have to be stained, and all the trim painted). Yelena

• Posted in thread: Help me choose a color. on 02-15-2010 at 05:57 PM
  I would definitely continue with the orange color - the bars are not enough to visually
  separate your living room from the game room, so the space still "reads" like one area. If you
  paint your game r...

• Posted in thread: Paint Color Advice? on 02-13-2010 at 03:57 AM
  Since you have only 2 colors in the kitchen (yellow and purplish-gray), I would recommend you
  to add a new color to the scheme. The best-looking color schemes have 3 or 4 colors. My
  suggestion is sage...

• Posted in thread: Paint too brown! on 02-13-2010 at 03:27 AM
  I'm afraid there is nothing you can do now except repaint with a new/correct color. Applying a
  coat of red-tinted glaze over the walls might add some red to the wall color, but it's not
  fool-proof and...
