Have you repainted every room in your house so that you look fantastic in each one?

Probably not. 

I don’t blame you.  One, it is a lot of work.  Two, you already look fantastic – will painting your walls really change that?

Probably not.

Except in your bathroom.  That’s right kids, bathrooms are the one spot that I tend to paint neutral.  Not all bathrooms, just the one that you get ready for the day in.  Especially for all of you makeup wearers out there.  Why?

Because in a smaller room such as the bathroom where you are focusing on how you look, it is really important that you look your best.  And if you wear makeup, you want to get an accurate picture of what you are putting on your face.  I cringe at the thought of any client making themselves look perfect in their lime green bathroom, only to step into the light of day and look like a monster.

So of all the rooms to match to your skin tone, the master bath is BY FAR the best choice.  We aren’t talking  about peach necessarily, just a nice neutral that lets you see yourself for what you truly are: FABULOUS!!!

You’ve been thinking about your skin tone and paint color, haven’t you?  Staring at yourself in the mirror,taking note of those fantastic undertones.  And you are thinking about how to make yourself look fabulous in every room that you enter into.

Look no further, the answer is here!  Truth be told, there is no way you can guarantee fab in EVERY room, but you can look great in every room in your house.

What is the answer?  Dress in colors that you look great in, and then take it one step further: paint all your rooms in colors that you look great in.

Sure, it may seem a little extreme, but it is an option!

A few weeks ago when I got reinspired about blogging and decided to make my blog all about color, I also decided that each week would have an overall theme.  This week’s theme? 

Using paint color to look great.  Why not?  Who doesn’t want to look fabulous in every room of your home?

I once worked with a hospice on their paint colors.  I chose a palette of warm  peaches which generally compliment every skin tone.  It is very important to me that everyone feel peaceful and healthy in their home, but especially people who are ending their journey.

What does skin tone have to do with anything? 

Paint and light reflect back on our skin and can change our appearance.  So if you have olive-toned skin, apple green walls have a very good chance of making you look jaundiced.  Yuck!

I have to admit, when I am selecting colors for people, I don’t always take their skin tone into consideration.  In certain circumstances it makes sense, and it is one more thing to keep in mind as you decorate.
