Summer Spruce Up

Zachary Wheeler • June 26, 2024

Are you looking to spruce up your home this summer? We're here to help


Happy Summer! It’s officially here and the heat waves are HOT! June here in North Carolina feels like the humid tropics. I’m not complaining, being from Michigan, I love the heat, the sun, boating, and going to the pool. These are some of my favorite outdoor activities. While it is only June, there is still time to start your summer project and have it finished by the beginning of Fall. 


Design projects can take anywhere from 3-4 months depending on the wants, needs, and how big the project. If you want to do a little sprucing up, then that wouldn’t take as long. If you want to completely redo rooms with construction, paint, and flooring, then that will take longer. My suggestion would be to start thinking and planning that now, so you don’t have to worry about that in the Fall. Do you have out-of-town guests or family coming to stay with you this year? If so, then now would be a good time to get this done and not wait until September. My team and I would love to help you with your project. Summer is a steady time when many people travel or have kids home for the summer, but before you know it, we will already be into the Fall. 


I like to plan out these projects with enough time to make sure that your home is perfect. Let’s plan, get your project started, and have it finished up in a few months! 


Check out my other projects here on my website and on my social media accounts. Contact me today to schedule a consultation. I would love to make your home right for you this upcoming Fall. Hope you all have a fun Summer because I know I am!

Go from white and neutral to bold and beautiful

Mocha, Cinnamon, Ruby, Green and more! The main company I use in my business for paint is, Benjamin Moore. I have used them for years and love all their colors, stains, and products. From the whitest white to blackest black, they carry over 3000 colors for all your color needs! Beyond Benjamin Moore, we will touch on other company’s colors of the year. I love POPS of colors in design. Grays and Blues are still my go-to standards, but adding in a pop of color can make your space fun! Benjamin Moore Color of the Year is: Cinnamon Slate They describe this as a mix of heather plum and velvety brown. It is a lovely purple-y hue that would look great in a kitchen, foyer, or primary bedroom. Along with the Color of the Year, they also coordinate a color palette with that. These are colors that will complement each other and can be used together in rooms, like accents, doors, trim, etc. When I accent color, I do not mean an accent wall, just to clarify. These colors include: Rosepine-green/sage, Paris Rain-mint/light green, Sea Salt-neutral grey/white, Glacier White-white hue, Stained Glass-Teal/green, Leather Saddle Brown-burgundy/brown, Chowning’s Tan-Tan/camel, Tissue Pink-Blush pink, & Ashwood Moss-mossy green. Moving on to the other Colors of the Year. Here are my other favorites. Pantone- Mocha Moose A warm rich brown that would be perfect for a big open family room, or in a walk-in closet. HGTV Home for Sherwin Williams- Quietude A neutral green with gray and blue undertones. This would look great on kitchen cabinets or a comfortable sunroom! Behr- Rumors This is a deep ruby red with a bold warmth and would look wonderful in a moody library, home office, or a dining room. If you are looking to update paint in any of your spaces, all these colors would look great. Again, I work with Benjamin Moore, and they have plenty to choose from. I do color consultations often and work those colors into a full design. Get your 2025 started off right, and let’s get to work!
