What's your "Flavor"?

To me, paint colors are like flavors of ice cream. Who is to say what's the best? It's entirely a personal choice. Like they say, "that's why there's chocolate and vanilla." 

House Beautiful recently queried top designers and color authorities as to their predictions for what colors are going to be trending for interior design this fall. Here's the scoop.

1. Behr Tropical Tide 520D-5
"Blue has been a top mover and now greens are edging ahead, and this color is the bridge between them - a beautiful turquoise blue that makes you feel as if you're in a warm, sunny place. It's like an instant getaway." -Erika Woelfe
null
2. Pantone Linden Green 15-0533
"Green will continue to be important. We want to celebrate and preserve nature, and green is the first color we see every spring. It's renewable and refreshing. There's hope in green." -Leatrice Eiseman
null
3. Benjamin Moore Sea Haze 2137-50
"Gray has been so popular, and now we're seeing complex grays with an undertone of color. This one has a hint of green. We've gone through a cleansing of the palette. People want quieter surroundings with just a pop of color, and gray works very well with yellow, which is also trending." -Sharon Grech

4. Glidden Indigo Night GLV 21
"We're all trying to switch off and be quiet. This midnight blue, edging toward purple, is soothing, relaxing, and so enveloping that you can get lost in it. Perfect for those times when you want to escape." -Barbara Richardson
null
5. Valspar Salmon Run 2002-6B
"Pastels and pretty colors are coming to the foreground. This coral has the lightheartedness of pink, but it's more sophisticated, with chalky-gray undertones. It has a warm, soft touch that feels very embracing." -Sue Kim
null
6. Pratt & Lambert Sunspot 11-10
"This is sunny and rejuvenating, a golden yellow the color of a marigold. It feels wholesome and authentic, the kind of color that would bring new life to a room. It reflects the optimism we're feeling." -Donna Schroeder

Online Design and 3D rendering

Online Design:
You don't have to live in Denver to take advantage of c2Design's services. If you live outside of Colorado, c2Design can design your space with the help of the internet.  This process is done by the client submitting pictures,  floor plan measurements, inspiration pictures/Pinterest and Houzz pages, and a list of needs and requirements of and for the space. We will then take this information and will send the cleint a full design package including a space plan, 3D renderings and specifications for what to buy and where to get the designed look.
 
This particular project we recently completed in Denver, however it is a very clear represntation of how wonderful 3D rendering can be. It gives our clients a vision of what their space is going to look like (generally speaking) before we start swinging hammers and placing orders.

Making a House a Home- c2Design Completed Project

This project has been an absolute joy for me to work on from start to finish.  Ever since they got in touch with me through my facebook page, I knew it was going to be a fun ride with these fantastic homeowners.
Both of these homeowners explained to me that between work, volunteering at school, piano lessons, play dates, and attending to their 2 adorable younger children, their home was not a priority for them. They had reached the point where they just wanted to make their beautiful house their home and feel comfortable and proud of it....I was up for the challenge :)

The house started out with AMAZING bones after they had gorgeous hardwood floors installed throughout the first floor. It was just a matter of taking what they already had, shifting it around, building on it, and pulling each space together. 

After completing the project over a glass of wine, the Mrs. said that she had been entertaining and inviting guests over to enjoy her beautiful HOME! Mission ACCOMPLISHED!
