Next up - Orange! (Sorry Orange, you didn’t get much of an intro there). Orange is one of those colors that most people either love or hate. Personally, I have to admit that Orange has found it’s way into my heart.

From Red-Orange to Yellow-Orange, this color is known to suggest humor, happiness, encouragement, adventure, spontaneity, creativity, and abundance. A common element in nature’s palette, Orange is frequently represented as the undertone of many wood grains, soil/earth, sunrises and sunsets.

Hello again! I’m having such a great time with these colorful posts - hopefully you are enjoying them as well. Next in our series is what I would refer to as Blue-Green or Turquoise.

Although Pantone may have coined their “Turquoise” as Color of the Year for 2010, I wouldn’t consider Blue-Green to be out of fashion. After all Blue-Green encompasses a wide range of colors. For example, ”Quarry” is a hot color trend for Fall 2011.

Maybe it’s the soul of summer, but Blue-Green (or Turquoise) is really speaking to me.

Hello and welcome! Great to have you back :) Next to be featured is a color that has made quite an impression on me. So much so, that I even went so far as to include it in my business name! That’s right, you guessed it: Purple.

Purple, or Violet, is known to embody passion, drama, artistry, spirituality, opulence, determination, independence, wisdom, intrigue, and wit. Feast your eyes on these delicious images:

Welcome back for another exciting post about color. Today we will be discussing… Yellow!

A strong contender for my favorite color, Yellow has helped to lift my spirits on many occasions. Yellow is known to be the color of sunshine, friendship, optimisim, hope, joy, confidence, and spontaneity (to name a few). Yellow, well it’s just so darn happy!

Below are a few images for your viewing pleasure. (I dare you not to smile).

In what will be an exciting series dedicated to color, I have decided to start you off with one of my absolute favorites: Green.

Green is known to represent hope, growth, luck, nature, fertility, rebirth, peace, balance, luxury, prosperity, vitality, abundance, and more. From yellow-green to blue-green, there are more variations of green than any other color in the world. Green has become associated with environmentalism, and is considered to be Nature’s perfect neutral. Enjoy!

Now a couple months into another NH winter and I’m ready for color. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun to play with these firey hues. Enjoy!

Success! The faux brick wall in the office of Main Street Concord looks sensational! Sincere thanks to Sherry Burnett (Burnett Designs) for her creative talent and hard work.

It’s official: the project for Main Street Concord, Inc. is underway! Sherry Burnett and I have been working to create a faux brick wall in each room of the Main Street office. Below are a few images of our progress so far.

First room - Tape, tape, and more tape…

As you can see, I was a little loopy by the second room

The response so far has been fantastic. More images are on their way - stay tuned!

The sun is shining, birds chirp outside my window, and the curtains float up on a gentle breeze. The smell of lilacs and apple blossoms fill the room. Green explodes outside. Spring is a time to celebrate the joy of a new year, starting over, a time for growth. It’s time for change and your home is a great place to start.
