decorating: Color (Colour) Theory 101, some basics on TAUPES...a much needed review - 01/01/08 12:33 PM
OK. Seems some of us need a paint color 101 lesson. I just read Kelly Townsend's blog asking for some help with colour suggestions for dated tiles in a bathroom. After reading some comments I see there is a lack of knowledge of color theory.

When a house has been staged, a professional decorator, or stager has marketed your home for the purpose of selling. There is much thought, put into the purchase & placement of accessories, art, furniture, carpets, linens, etc. that can only be covered to a … (11 comments)
