We make choosing the perfect paint color easy!
Noir – Last week I attended the Sherwin Williams ColorMix presentation. The palette of colors which made the biggest impression for me, was the “Noir” collection. It is inspired by night. The darker colors in this collection are not for the meek, however if you have a small space (a powder room or den) and you would like to be daring these colors are rich and bold. They remind me of rooms I have visited in Europe.
Mistakes Could Be Costly. I get asked all the time, why would I hire a paint color consultant? Cost! Paying for a professional paint color consultant is often a good investment. If you’re not quite sure what you’re doing – you risk having to repaint your mistakes. Instead of saving money by doing it yourself, you could end up paying twice for the same job. Sample pots cost money as well. We are often called to help make a decision, our clients have spend hundreds of dollars on sample pots and just can not decide.

Feng Shui – Red is best!
If your front door faces south according to Feng Shui you should paint it RED. Red is considered one of the luckiest colors and is associated with good fortune, prosperity and strength. The front door is the mouth of chi, the entry point for all positive energy to flow into your home.

Benjamin Moore “Advanced” – I decided to give my home a facelift with a fresh coat of trim paint. So I tried “Advanced”. In general I liked it, it was creamy and applied nicely. One thing to take into consideration when using this paint is the re-coat drying time is 16 hours, not 4 hours like other waterbased paints. For me this was not a problem, since I was just re-coating the same color trim and one coat is all I needed. Is it more durable then others? time will tell. One thing I did find odd was that I started with a quart and the consistency was great. I liked it so much I decided to buy a gallon, however the consistency was much thinner than the quart. I am not sure why. In the end all trim seemed to be the same.

I recently read an article by Christine Kane “The Psychology of Going From Employee to Business Owner” and as a new franchisor, had some thoughts about how it related to America’s Color Consultants’ approach to entrepreneurship.
NOW YOU ARE YOUR BOSS!
Yes, a very different experience than being an employee – and it needs a different approach and motivation. You’re now the one who sets your schedule, manages your time, makes the “rules” and keeps the books. Ack! While some venturing out on their own are totally prepared, or hire consultants or coaches to get them started, others turn to a franchise system: the support and systems have already been created and you adjust it to your immediate needs and professional goals.
At America’s Color Consultants, co-founders Florence Jones and Susan Mintz are always available to further train, coach, assist, motivate and emotionally support franchisees as they move long their colorful journey!
