Lynda was prompt and well prepared. A friend had used and recommended her and I really liked what she had done with the friend's house. Not 'designer', just a regular house, but better--warmer and friendlier without being obvious. I grew up in this home and it is very difficult to see beyond the pink my mother loved. Lynda has an amazing sense of color and was able to sort through the hundreds of colors in her color wheels in just minutes. She was able to get me the larger painted color cards in just a few days and brought them to my workplace, saving time for me. I can't afford to get all the rooms painted this year, but the colors are classic and warm and I will still love them next year. Her fees may be going up soon. She has been told by several clients that her rates are quite low, which they are, so don't hold her to this price. You will be getting excellent service at twice the price. She really took her time going over the colors with me and we were able to work out a time to meet that worked with my work schedule. She did an excellent job of looking past the Pepto-Bismol pink kitchen with the turquoise formica (yep, gold flecks) countertops to the warm yellow kitchen I want. I was very pleased and would recommend her to others.
Description of Work: Lynda helped me choose colors for every room in my house. The fee was $200 and she was there for almost 2 hours, the other $35 was for larger color cards. I love the colors. She worked with me to determine the colors that are staying--oak floors, mahogany veneer wall and worked from there to get colors that are warm and consistent with the age and style of my home. She also took into account existing furniture, and everything goes together beautifully. She came well prepared, with full color ranges from several paint companies. After we decided on colors, she dropped large painted cards off for me at my workplace. When I decided I really didn't like the bolder color I had pushed for in the entry she came back, no charge and helped me pick a more suitable one.

Nothing short of miraculous describes, inadequately, Lynda's talent for visualizing the effect of color on walls. I had agonized for months over how to paint the odd angles in our newly remodeled living spaces, not to mention what colors to use! At 3 AM I would be at the kitchen table with one of the 5 color wheels I bought trying, trying, trying to find a combo that would work, only to realize at 10 AM that Joe hated my picks and I was not too sure about them myself. Friends offered me their best color suggestions until one friend REALLY helped: She told me to hire a color designer. On a lucky whim I opened the yellow pages and found Lynda's "Envisage" listing. The 3 colors Lynda recommended were far from any previously considered by any of us and yet I instantly knew they were the right colors. Best of all, everyone else has loved them on our walls as much as we do. Lynda saved my sanity as I am sure she has saved other's marriages and relationships with her great talent.
Description of Work: Walls had been removed and the ceiling vaulted in our newly sheet rocked entry, living room and dining room areas when I called Lynda Landry for help with paint colors. She reviewed the art work, carpeting and furnishings that will inhabit the spaces and then designed the colors to unite and yet separate each desperate area. The entire procedure took only an hour, but I was impressed with how thorough and thoughtful Lynda was, repeatedly rechecking the colors she selected with colors in the surrounding areas and furnishings. She designated "Glowing Dune" for the entrance and one wall in the dining room area, "Sparrow" for the fireplace wall and "Meditation" for the rest of the walls and ceiling. Very unusual combination yet ideal for our remodeled home.
