Color is extremely emotive and quite personal; and is a powerful tool to create a seamless background for the everyday drama and function of your life. Something as seemingly simple as choosing a white wall paint can be quite challenging when you discover the plethora of options. Deciding the right shade, the right product, the right sheen, and the right contractor can be time consuming and frankly overwhelming. And mistakes are not just disappointing but costly. That's where Studio::Modry comes in! As lead Colorist, Andrea's unique background in art, theater and interior design has armed her with insights and color visions for residences and businesses alike. Not only is she highly experienced in the nuanced world of color, paint and wall augmentations but has vetted contractors and artisans to make your design dreams come to life. And what sets her apart is that she backs all this up with the scientific understanding of the physiology and emotional responses to light's beauty- which we call COLOR. We offer several levels of design services and am certain we can find a solution that best fits your needs and budget.

She came for an initial consultation to see what things we loved and had in our home. She later returned with 12 selections from which I could chose fabric for drapes and roman shades. It was a difficult choice because all of the fabrics that Andrea brought were great! After the window coverings were fabricated Andrea returned with a professional installer. I was able to customize where the cords for the roman shades in our bay window would be installed. For our bedrooms, we chose Hunter Douglas roller shades with cordless lite rise lift. We love them. Our guests from overseas love how well the room-darkening works and so do our teenage sons. We have some big remodeling projects coming up in our home, and I am planning to have Andrea help me with design, tile choice and paint colors. **Comment from Studio Modry:** > Thanks Becky! Realy glad to hear that the window treatments have proven both beautiful AND functional. Absolutely let me know when those next projects come up! **★★★★★ — aktylicki, Jan. 2017** > Andrea was amazingly helpful in helping us to choose colors for our house. We were leaning toward a brown but Andrea suggested a beautiful grayish color which we absolutely love. Andrea goes the extra mile consistently and we've loved working with her. **Comment from Studio Modry:** > Thanks Amanda! I've thoroughly enjoyed our rapport as well. Your amazing home deserves beautiful color, so glad you're happy! Look forward to keeping in touch for any future projects. **★★★★★ — Jane Hankins, Jan. 2017** > I loved working with Andrea at Studio Modry. I felt like she truly listened to me in what I was looking for, and considered my existing finishes. She was extremely responsive and had great knowledge and resources. I was so pleased with her work for my first small project (selecting paint colors and flooring), that I later hired her for window treatments. I will not hesitate to hire Studio Modry in the future. Both outstanding design and customer service! **Comment from Studio Modry:** > Thanks for your review, Jane! I loved helping make your home both beautiful and functional. Look forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — CertaPro Painters of Silicon Valley, Jan. 2017** > Whenever we need a color consultation for our painting customers, we always turn to Andrea.

That’s why we decided to work with Andrea Tyson at Studio Modry. She takes a consultative approach, asking questions, finding out about your taste/style, budget and time frame. First, she helped us choose paint colors that flowed throughout the house and then helped us select a few furniture items to give our home a more complete look. We are now working on wall art and accessories for final touches. We’re so happy to have had the good fortune of finding Andrea. She’s very knowledgeable, patient, receptive to our ideas and provides feedback and gentle options. We definitely couldn’t have done it without her! **Comment from Studio Modry:** > Thanks again Rolando! It has been such a pleasure working with you and Lilia. Looking forward to continuing your project! **★★★★★ — don\_drucker, Aug. 2015** > Andrea helped us with our exterior color choices for our house painting. We did it in one visit and are thrilled with the result. Many neighbors have come by and told us that they loved the new colors. > > Andrea was professional and had all the color samples and alternatives with her. > We would use her services again. **Comment from Studio Modry:** > Thank you Don for your review! So glad you are loving your house colors! Hope to work with you in the future! ## Selected projects - [Color Projects](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/color-projects-pj-vj~6318323) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 - [Artist's Family MidCentury Ranch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/artist-s-family-midcentury-ranch-pj-vj~2238694) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 2 - Description: Laughter filled Midcentury ranch home for family of artist and designer.

How did you attach these? Are you able to clean the glass under the slats? Thanks so much for any advice you could give!!! A: Hi-can you advise the wood that was used- ipe? cedar? Does it require much maintenance? thanks! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-09-07.*
