Do You Like Your Color Scheme?

Spring is a great time for bringing new life outside and in.
Maybe it's time for a new perspective on your interior design?
Before you think about busting out walls or putting in a new window get a new perspective on your color scheme.
Avoid the temptation to jump right to your favorite colors and stick with them like glue.
Instead step back and consider the space you are trying to refresh.
·         Is this a work area where creativity is the desired environment?
·         How about your main gathering places like family rooms and kitchens.  Is it warm and inviting or dark?
·         Are there areas in your home you would like to feel larger?
·         How about more comfortable and relaxing?
If so you would serve yourself well getting up to speed on the secrets the top interior designers use.
First check out this insightful primer on the basic color theory - the basic context of color.  If you are a person who loves to wear plaids and stripes together you may be well served with this quick read.
Once you have this basic idea down don't run to the paint store quite yet.
Instead, take a new look at those spaces you want to do something about in your home or office.
To delve deeper learn from examples of how to apply your new found color theory knowledge to the spaces you want to impact here from this informative 'How To' article from HGTV.
Of course, you can always pull out the checkbook and bring in a professional interior designer for an experienced perspective. At a minimum you'll have a better understanding how your investment should produce the benefits you are looking for.
If you are going the DIY route you'll feel much more comfortable your changes are based on something proven, not just picking your favorite colors at a paint store.
Spring has sprung so it's time to be inspired with your newfound knowledge of color scheme and applying that to the spaces you want to effect change on.
Good luck!

Introducing Humans

A lot of people know how popular video continues to be in helping small business owners communicate with their audience. People on their smart phones alone are a large and growing audience. Businesses know that more people think more highly of them and buy more from them using video than any other platform. But how you do your video is often very confusing for busy business owners. Most successful sales people know that most prospects  buy on emotion and use logic to rationalize their decision.  So how could you use video to create more of an emotional connection with  interested viewers? Turns out that with all the focus on technology, pixels and camera specs the most important thing is to create a more human connection.  One powerful way to do that is through the use of spokespersons. The premise of a spokesperson is actually quite simple.  It's basically a real live person talking about your business.  Sure, the owner of the business ca...

William Maclay Mansion -Home of The First President's Loudest Critic

Image
The founding fathers  checks and balance philosophy of our new nation took on its full force during the first term of Senator William Maclay.  He took on none other than President George Washington in what he saw was the ever expanding power of the Executive Branch. Before he became one of the first class of new senators in the initial two year term in our new nation, Senator Maclay was a soldier, lawyer,  surveyor, state legislator and judge. Senator Maclay was a fervent supporter of the constitution in 1787.  But it is he along with Senator James Madison that were among the first to speak loudly against the actions of the new national government. He was convicted that President Washington was unconstitutionally taking the powers of the executive branch too far beyond the powers of the states. Besides the records of Senatorial debates Maclay also was devoted to his own private congressional journal.  This is invaluable for historians to gain insight on...

Decoration Day

Long before Memorial Day turned into parades and picnics to kick off the summer season there was a much more solemn origin. Imagine a war where nearly every family in the nation had a son, father or husband who served or knew someone who lost a loved one. The Civil War counted 625,000 men who died.  That's more casualties than both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam combined.  Put another way that was 2% of the population which would be about 6 million if such a devastating conflict was fought today with the current population. Putting the loss for both sides in perspective it's easy to understand why families were looking for ways to remember, heal and honor the dead. By the late 1860's many towns and cities began to hold spring time ceremonies.  They would gather to honor those who gave their lives and would decorate their graves with fresh flowers.  Prayers were often given. It wasn't until 1966 that the federal government highlighted Waterloo (ironic na...
