Bridget Beari Color Rule #4 - View Spaces As Volumes

   #4

   View Spaces as Volumes

Trim does not need to be painted white to stand out. Here a taupe purple color against these gold walls draws your eye right to the architectural trim and doors. By painting the ceiling and walls the same color, the ceiling becomes higher and the space becomes viewed as a volume.

Sidebar:  Bellagio Blue is named after a horse of one of my employees. 

                 Mr. B is named after my dog Baron. Since he is the biggest boy and my only boy, we call him Big Boy or Mr. B. He is half Sharpei and half pit bull. We took him from a guy who had brought this tiny puppy down to Virginia from NYC for his girlfriend. She did not want him. He saw us walking my dog Beari the Sharpei and asked if we would take him. Of Course!!!  He did tell us he was a Sharpei but as he grew we began to see the pit.  We named him after the guy Baron Hunter. 

 Bingle is my cat. She is grey, peach and white. Her real name is Bing but her nickname is Bingle among others. She was another stray that came into our lives. 

Tip:  The Golden Ratio is 1 to 1.62

Need Help With Paints?

Have you seen the new House Beautiful Paint App from iTunes for $4.99? It was given to all the participants at Blogfest. It arrived last week but I have not had time to play with it until I returned from Atlanta this week. It is quite amazing!

All the major brands are here: Benjamin Moore, Duron, Farrow and Ball, Fine Paints of Europe and more! 

The app allows you to select colors based on moods, editor's picks, spaces and just by color. You can organize them all in your paint can, match them with other colors, and even see a room view. You even get a description of the color from one of the top designers. They haven't included me yet - Darn. I wonder if they will add the new Bridget Beari paint line? They should! 

You can email, facebook or tweet your choices! Did I mention the color personality quiz? 

I'm a violet!

The only glitch was in selecting the moods and spaces. It just did want to change them quickly and got stuck a few times. Patience with all things new. Fun Program!
