MY CHOCOLATE BROWN BATHROOM WAS "GOOGLED"

HOME STYLE AND STAGING received a phone call the other day from a very nice lady in Indiana, she asked the name of the color that I had used in two of the re-design bathrooms that I done. I was thinking to myself, how in theworld did she know that I did a bathroom in chocolate brown and her in Indiana ??

As the conversation continued I found out that she had "Googled" brown bathrooms and of all the ones that came up she liked the color and the accessories that I had used in mine, traced me by my website and then went to Activerain from there...WOW...all that for the name of the paint that I had used..this lady was on a mission. I asked her to please send me before and after photos so that I could share with you here on Activerain. So I am looking forward to seeing her re-design...

Great post. This is a good example as to why
"images" should always be labeled. Google's search engine indexes these with links to where they were posted. A lot of people will use the "Images" feature on the Google home page. I know I do.

Love that sweet Georgia brown! I use dark brown quite often in bathrooms. I find it makes the room much warmer feeling than clinical white. Love it. Did I say that alreaday? Great work Anna.

Thansk for the comments...yes "google" is a good thing for sure.. and Anna I have also found that the more that you put on the label the more it comes up...
