Why I use color:

Honestly, I'm not sure yet. Until recently I had been bouncing from apartment to apartment never caring enough to paint the walls. Upon finally purchasing my own house I really liked the idea of having more color in my life... of being able to play with space, texture, and aesthetics. I suppose my goal right now is something that looks nice, but is still comfortable. . .

2 good color tips:

These may seem obvious, but

1. Expensive paint can be color matched.

2. Don't buy the really cheap paint.

2 good color resources:

1. My mom (an interior designer)

2. Any high end color palette binder I can get my hands on!
