Before You Hire a Painter

Paint and Painters

98% of painters here in Florida will only use the paint brand they have a discount with…

Tip #1

Why Fan Decks Don't Work

Color Samples Are Ink Not Paint

One of the biggest problems I have with new clients is the paint color they just put up looks nothing like the color chip or fan deck color they ordered.

Tip #2

Digital Color Matchers

Color Matching Your Paint Sample

Tip #5

Preperation Rollers Brushes

Preperation is Everything

We have all heard it before but Preparation and the right paint tools is where it all begins.  You thought it was tough enough just to arrive at the right colors and the right paint texture.

Tip #6

Sally’s Coastal Colors

Sally Fretwell has always been inspired by Color in Nature and bringing that color into your living space.  That very problem has prompted her to write 4 professional books on space and color.  Sally has often taken her cameras and special lenses to capture the very pictures you will be viewing in some of her books.  All of the hand drawn illustrations have been by her hand.  Her two children’s books on nature, birds, butterflies, and flowers were inspired by her own backyard efforts to provide eco-systems especially for them.  Some of Sally’s  and net sites are also designed with lots of her backyard photos and videos of natural phenomenon.

Here Are A Few of  Sally’s Books
