Custom Paint Consultations with Gathered Living Design

They’re backkk! Due to your requests, I am opening up spots again for custom paint consultations in your home. One of the hardest parts of home ownership and the design process is making decisions about the perfect paint colors for your home.  Paint truly is the easiest and most dramatic way to transform any room or update an outdated space without spending a ton of money.  Not only is it difficult to narrow down all the options available, but also to know what shades work together for trim, doors, and ceilings, as well as how to create a color scheme that will flow seamlessly from room to room.  I know how hard it is hard to make these decisions on your own, which is why today I will be opening up a select number of spots for custom color consultations with me in your home!

Easy Tips for Hanging Pictures + Wall Decor in Your Home

   One of the requests I get most from clients is to help them arrange and hang their wall decor.  I cannot tell you how many homes I have visited that have a fully decorated house but still have blank walls, just because they don't know where to get started and are afraid to "mess up."  That's why I've gathered up all my best tips and tricks that make hanging wall decor and frames as easy as possible.  Throughout my experience hanging wall decor in my own home, client's homes, businesses and restaurants, as well as retail and offices, I have learned a lot from trial and error, as well as from working with all different shapes, sizes, and types of wall decor.   Take a look at my top tips, must-have tools, favorite tutorials, and more below!
