Last year I choked for the holidays! I was very busy, so I thought it would be okay to “cheat” just a bit on my holiday décor. I opted for a faux tree – And WOW! – was I disappointed! Sorry, guys – Some of you may “boo” me for saying this! EEK! -But I [...]

I am not sure if there is any other color in the entire fan deck that has more power than red. It is a color that is confident, bold, alluring and powerful. Red is like no other. In a word, red is simply, well… RED! Recently, I met a client (of Knotting Hill Interiors) [...] 4 comments to Why not Red kitchen cabinets?

Do you know the “official” colors of the American flag? Well, yes, we all know they are red, white, and blue… But according to the Pantone website, the specific colors for our great American flag are Pantone 193 C (red), and the Pantone 282 C (blue). However, their website notes that blues 281 C and [...] Do you think neutral is beige or some form of it? As a newly designated True Colour Expert, and as a design professional who has been choosing color for over 20 years, I have a theory about neutrals that happens to be, as far as I can tell, unique to me.

I agree 100%. I’m a “real” tree kind of girl, too! Nothing beats how wonderful it makes my home smell. The only down side to me is that the tree can’t be enjoyed as long as an artificial one, because mine just starts to dry out after about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks. Some, for example, put their trees up the day after Thanksgiving Day. Well I’d love to do this, because it takes me about 2-3 days to get the tree fully dressed. However, I don’t think my real tree would last this long. I’ve tried all the suggestions (such as adding Sprite to the water, checking and adding fresh water as needed, even the store bought product to extend tree life).If anyone has any other suggestions, I’d love to try some of them. Thanks for this great post, Kimberly.
Thanks, Kimberly–I need all the shortcuts you have in your repetoire! Christmas really gets away with me.
Great blog, there are some nice bits in here. Worth a bookmark for a read another time. Cheers.
I am an artist and designer enthusiast. Do you have any tips or (Maybe even a new video on this be great) for hallway designs. Thanks.
I am looking for different photo examples of using ribbon to hang pictures in my dining room for the holidays. I have three Norman Rockwell prints in golden frames that I would like to showcase on one wall next to one another. Can you help?
