What's new in NEW CONSTRUCTION?

Week after week, we travel around the North East looking at gorgeous homes. One of the best aspects of our job is discovering the latest design trends in new construction. Many new home builders and new home buyers hire us to select the finishes for their new homes. From cabinetry style and color, to paint and color palettes, window treatments to lighting, we see it all. It's an interesting dynamic because we have daring, colorful room photos pinned and earmarked in our idea books, yet, the end product is usually much more subdued. Especially when selecting finishes for a home listed for sale. As much as we want to do a turquoise kitchen, in order to appeal to the widest audience, we tend to recommend what we know works as a softer approach. 

Barely a day goes by the we don't get the question: "What's happening right now? 

Here's a peek into our favorite finishes.

I Found Your Favorite Paint Color!

2014 is buzzing along like crazy! I can barely keep up with the pace at which we have quotes and floor plan designs flying out the door. And, just like that.......stopped in my tracks...........I discover the best design tool I have found since Pinterest! Talk about making our lives easier and taking our creative brains to a new pace. I'm so excited to share this! We are obsessed with this tool and started using it from day one. Check it out... it's called Chip It, from Sherwin Williams.

Here's how it works: Go to www.LetsChipit.com and drag the Chip It button up to your browser.
