Why I use color:

Color affects my mood and also how I affect others. In my clothing it can make me appear to be more feminine, more serious or any other emotion that I choose to convey. The same is true for living spaces. I wanted my home to convey comfortable warmth, I achieve this with color and pattern. Using contemporary and mission styles in a very modern space along with soothing warm colors makes mine a harmonious place to be.
