A BEFORE & AFTER SHOWCASE

BEFORE
A new home and oh so many decisions to make. The client started out with a deep lavender on the walls but soon tired of it. She still loved the idea of using lavender but not as the main color. She came to us and together we made some changes.

AFTER
The walls are now painted Para's Shrimshaw Ivory Tint II. We added soft moss green crinkle side panels with a swag in moss green, lavender and gold paisley. We picked up the green using  a fabulous table centrepieces and in the corner of the room we placed a tall vase with lush grasses. The best part of all was using her Grandmothers sideboard. A large open framed mirror and side  crystal and chrome side lamps bring attention to this treasured piece. Finally we centered a crystal dish from the IMAX design decor collection and  now she has the perfect dining room for her family and friends to enjoy.

 

Did you Know?

Nothing can quite change the complete look of a room the way a new paint color does. Look at your furnishings, your fabrics, the prints and accessories in the room, and pull out a new color. For every room there is more than one color, more than one look. You’ll always need to work with your big pieces; like a sofa , but after you’ve chosen a new color perhaps you could change the pictures on the wall, add some new pillows in your wall color, or even add some trims and tassels to your draperies in your new color. Changing your window draperies with a new style you’ve been dreaming about can also dramatically change the look and feel of your room. This is another chance to add a new color to the room’s décor. At Finishing Touch we have over 2400 amazing Para colors to choose from and fabrics to compliment every one of them.
