May Color of the Month

This is HGTV's color of the month for May:


It is a very bright cheerful color. I think to do this color you really have to love blue.  This color would be great for a bathroom, or of course in a little boys bedroom. It is also a really great color to use as an accent, not necessarily for the whole room, and I love this color paired with the crisp brightness of white.

August Color of the Month

  HGTV'S color of the month for August is Chrome Yellow. While a very bright cheerful color, it can be very overwhelming. I like it as an accent to add a pop of color in a room.

Going green for St. Patty's Day

In honor of St. Patrick's Day we are talking about "GREEN"... For over 60 years, Hunter Douglas has been creating and offering natural and appealing ways to harness heat and light. In the winter, heat leaves through the window when you need it, yet becomes trapped inside in the summer when you don't. Heat loss and gain drive our energy usage up. It can be felt in our monthly utility bills and calculated in our collective carbon emissions. Today, Hunter Douglas is committed to lowering our energy usage and implementing other changes that will ultimately reduce our carbon footprint by 20%. Our overriding goal, though, is to help our customers everywhere save energy the natural way by effectively channeling and exploiting the natural power of the sun. That's Hunter Green. It reminds us of our unique roots, of who we are today and of where we need to go. And while there are many shades of green in today's world, there is only one Hunter Green. More specifically...
