WWhether you love decorating or find it frustrating, I have some exciting news to share. I now write monthly for the newly launched My Colortopia blog. My Colortopia offers inspiration, practical tools, and trustworthy advice from a talented group of bloggers who share their paint, color, and decorating experience.
Recognize these lovely and talented contributors?
And me.
I’m honored to be part of the My Colortopia Team.
You might be wondering why I joined, since I’ve often said I’m not a fan of painting. The truth is that’s exactly why I’m part of the team. I still have things to learn, and I empathize with anyone who feels overwhelmed by paint choices, color coordination, and design decisions. I’ve been there—I know how discouraging it can be.
Many of you remember my struggle with regrettable paint choices (not the flu, but bad colors) and my quest to replace them with hues I truly enjoy.
Through years of trial and error, I’ve picked up practical tips to simplify painting and decorating. I’m excited to share a new monthly post with readers on My Colortopia and offer useful, down-to-earth advice.
