Staging a sale

Carole: I don't mean one color throughout the home, I meant one scheme...that is one of the things that I felt that she didn't really get and explain properly. For instance I meant take something you really love like a carpet in your living room and pick some of the colours in that rug and use those throughout the house. Don't paint every room a different color of the rainbow. In my own home I have brown, tiramisu, and coffee colours and various shades of turquoise. I even have some kiwi accents which look fabulous with the brown. All  used in different ways in different rooms. In my living room it is brown but I have a lot of turquoise accents and creams and taupes. Up stairs I used a variation of the turquoise in my bedroom with a subtle shade of blue/green and then added brown accents. Of course my kids room are not matchy poo with the rest of my house that would be too much. Really what I was trying to portray was a cohesiveness throughout.

I mentioned in Kathleen Garvey's blog http://activerain.com/blogsview/331749/SPOTLIGHT-If-the-localwhich refers to this one that the mistake when doing an interview for me, was that I didn't approve the article before she printed it and I feel that some of my statements weren't portrayed acurately. That is a lessson I learned.

Thanks for the comments.
