I am a big time do-it-my-selfer but I had to finally call in for help after I picked colors for my house front door & frame 3 times and each time it looked tacky, yucky, terrible. So I heard about Ideas Only and Geri the color expert came to my rescue. She spent a good hour educating and demonstrating why my color picks were wrong. She guided me to the best color scheme for the brick and style of my house. If she would have given me her picks up front I would have said no, but she was patient, had brought 1000s of color chips and had me stand on the curb and guided me to understanding how and why certain colors would work and why others don’t. I ended up having front door, and rest of house painted and it was a neighborhood smash. I get compliments all the time from strangers and neighbors alike… Geri’s bold selections were different but perfect. She has degrees in interior design and is a fabulous color specialist. She is also trained in «visual merchandising» for some big store chains in our area. Her hourly rate is $ 75 and worth every penny. She does not push you into buying stuff, but will help you use what you have if you want to keep costs down. Don’t waste your money or time trying to make design decisions on your own. I spent 10 hours painting my front door 3 different times and should have paid her the first time.
