She was very helpful with color education. Her edges are very clean, and her work is very good. She did paint a wall the wrong color, but she is coming back to fix that.
Description of Work: She painted the living room, kitchen, dining room, and upstairs bath.

Nancy promptly returned my call and scheduled an appointment to come to my home for color consultation. She confirmed the appointment 2 days in advance and arrived on time. Within 1.5 hours, I had a 7-color palette picked out for my new home. Unbelievable! I've been staring at paint chips and color books for weeks. Nancy makes it look easy. She asks some questions and finds items in your home for the beginning of the palette. In my case, it was the living room rug, couch and artwork. Working together, we proceeded from room to room, always referring back to the palette to make sure there was a flow. I am so excited about the colors I will be using. I want my home to reflect a peaceful, natural environment with a touch of creativity and boldness. I feel that Nancy helped me achieve this goal. I highly recommend her services. Paint is expensive and color can be tricky. Nancy left me with a nice folder with my color choices for each room recorded neatly on a worksheet. Also included are large paint chip squares for each color, recommended finish and quantity. Thank you, Nancy!

She was wonderful and very helpful. She was very concerned in terms of exactly what we wanted to achieve. She got everything possible that we could have wanted and she brought a lot of other great ideas to deal with flooring, curtains and stuff. She was really good.

Nancy Johnson with Color by Design designed a color ?plan? for our home that is expressive of our personalities. Our home now has an appropriate identity that feels ?put together?. I believe the mood of my home should be a positive one. We wanted to explore bolder, more adventurous colors to express ourselves, and create an environment at home that is comfortable and elegant. We were tired of the off-white walls and flat white ceilings. My husband and I tried numerous attempts at color and ended up with what I referred to as a "circus house". The colors were too loud and definitely not calming and warm. Finding this balance was a daunting task. Nancy solved this problem for us. Hiring her was one of the best home improvement decisions we have made. Now that we've repainted most of the rooms on our main floor, I can happily say that I am excited to show off my "new" home. Her color choices for our home were brilliant! Each room just flows right into the other. She definitely has a talent for what she does. We spent a couple of hours one afternoon talking about the things that my family and I like to do. She walked through our home and took into consideration, our furniture, our artwork, etc. With that, she went from room to room choosing colors and worked out a plan with me. We should have hired her years ago! The house looks beautiful and we're still getting compliments from family and friends! Nancy is a pleasure to work with. She's very friendly and professional and I look forward to working with her on our next project.
Description of Work: Nancy came to our home, spoke to us about ideas/colors we had in mind to paint the interior of our home. Using our existing furnishings and even paintings I had stored in a closet, she chose a beautiful color palette for our home. She charges a minimum and then a standard fee for each additional room. After a few hours of talking and moving from room-to-room, she drew up a "paint color" plan for us. I took notes on all of her decorating suggestions and she left us with color cards. We chose our own paint and hired painters.

We had a rather tight time schedule to re-do our kitchen to be ready for a graduation party. We originally hired Nancy to help us select the right color of wood flooring to go with our cabinets, and that went well so we continued using her to help with our selections of granite, backsplash tile and and wallpaint. As we got close to the end and were running out of time she even repainted some of the decorative painting in the kitchen and painted the laundry with her sister helping her. Nancy was very accomodating to our difficult schedules, coming over to the house or tile or granite shops to meet us any day of the week and any time. As her posting here describes, she has a strong focus on color selections, which is probably the most key thing in trying to pull together a room like this. We couldn't have achieved the results we did without her.

I called Nancy on Tuesday and she was able to come to our house on Friday. Nancy visited a coffee shop near my office that had colors that I loved. She and Cathy arrived on time and within 45 minutes had all the colors picked for our entire first floor (including the ceilings).

It went wonderful! Nancy came promptly and we started out picking colors. She went from room to room and picked out colors that coordinated with my furnishings and my taste. Also, she coordinated colors, so that the rooms would flow from one to the other, picked certain walls for accent colors, and overall took her time to make sure I was satisfied. And I was!
Description of Work: I needed a lot of help in deciding paint colors for my "whole" house! Nancy came and helped me decide what colors would be best.

I called Nancy on Thursday. She called back that same day and we scheduled an appointment for a week later as I was going to be gone for a week. She called back on Friday morning to tell me her day had opened up if I was available that day. I was, so she came to my home and we spent about 2.5 hours selecting colors. I did not have the fabric samples for my master bedroom, so she took her color chart to another store to see my bedding and select a color for the mb. How nice...and beyond what I expected.
Description of Work: We are building a home in TN. I asked Nancy to help me select colors for the 15+ rooms of the home simply by looking at my floor plans and fabric and flooring samples. She had an unbelievable grasp of the home...you would never have known she had not set foot in it.

It was our good fortune to have Nancy assist us in the selection of the colors for our home addition. She saved us many hours of frustration and produced a color palette that enhanced the appearance of the addition beyond our expectations. Her suggestions were A-one plus.

It went very well and I would definitely hire her again. She is extremely knowledgeable and has been working with color for years (she is also a talented muralist). She shows up on time and is flexible about working around your schedule. How it works: Nancy comes to your house with color samples. Together, you look for a range of colors that will work-- with the light in the room, the furnishings, and what you'll use the room for. Or, for the exterior, the roof, the landscape, etc. You narrow the selection down. For an additional fee, Nancy will prepare samples on large pieces of poster board so that you can really get a sense of how they will work on or in your house (I did this and highly recommend it!). Then you make your final selection. I love the beautiful colors in my house, but the outside is just amazing. Neighbors have stopped me on the street to tell me how much they like it and how much it's changed the look of our block.
Description of Work: Ms. Johnson is a color specialist. She helped me choose colors to paint the exterior of my house. I had some general ideas about what I wanted--she helped me refine my choices and think about some issues I hadn't even considered, such as how the colors would look with the roof and with the landscaping. This is the second time I've hired her. She also helped me pick out colors for the interior downstairs of my house. I knew what I wanted for the walls and she helped me choose the exactly perfect shade for the trim and ceilings. She also showed me how to coordinate colors from room to room, so that the downstairs has a beautiful flow.
