I initially hired her to help with home staging in my Naperville home and since have hired her a few times in my Plainfield home. > > I hire her for two services, "fixing" my rooms and paint/color selections. As far as redesign service go, I cannot believe how well everything functions and flows once she works her magic. I spent days (weeks) trying to fix my basement, seriously I could not get the room to work because of the pole that the builder thought should be placed in the most inconvenient location. I thought she would do a pretty good job, certainly better than I could ever do with furniture placement but I was wrong, she did an awesome job. The pole has "disappeared", really it is such a non issue I don't give it a second thought. Things are so perfect that when I had my carpets cleaned I took photos so I could put the room back together the right way. In all my decorating projects I have to say this was my biggest problem and I really feel I scored a victory on this one. > > Paint selection is another area that GraceAnn hits the nail squarely on the head. I do OK with my selections but sometimes I get it wrong and my painter benefits (my bedroom was painted three times in eight months). It's cheaper to just hire her and she will get it right. How she can tell a beige color is reading pink, green, yellow or whatever is beyond me. > > The past two weeks (February 2013) I had most of my rooms repainted and I am waiting for my some of my furniture to be delivered this week. My two chairs are already in and the color looks perfect. I can't wait for the sectional to come in so I can finish my new family room. In the meantime I am enjoying all the new colors in the rest of my house. > > > Office: the red photo is the old color, the pale green is the new color. The room looks larger, lighter and fresh. ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/162345360/list/wish-list) — 3 ideas - [graceann's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/141460/list/graceann-s-ideas) — 14 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/graceann) ## Community Q&A **Q: I'm painting my Golden Oak island. Should I go robin egg blue?** *(in Design Dilemma)* I'm finally painting and refacing my island. My whole house is golden oak and the island seemed like a smaller project to try. I tried "Gathering" by Magnolia but it looks light gray and not quite right with the baltic brown countertop. I'm considering a robin's egg blue. I painted the parts and now am having second thoughts about the longevity and buyer friendliness of that color. Whites are hard as I have gray white and taupes in the counter top and a dirty/cooler white in the backsplash. The grout is a khaki tan and the walls are Universal Khaki. My adjoining eat in area has robin's egg blue walls. The trim is Oak. I might eventually paint the other cabinets and trim, but we may be relocated at any time so the house always has to be market ready. I'm between the blue, a khaki similar to the walls, or some kind of not stark white. There isn't much natural light, but the light it does get is Western and in Wisconsin. Any advice is welcome! Thanks! A: Robin egg blue is a cool clear color. I f you still want a blue, look for a 'toned' blue or warmer blue.

One is square other is round with some sort of glass design on top Really wanted a different one but I need one quite large and both of these are 48 x 48 inches. Please excuse the room, still decorating. Thank you A: Round table **Q: I have a long, narrow sitting room and cannot find a layout that works. It has double doors on one of the long sides, not central, and a fireplace on the same wall. Help!** *(in Design Dilemma)* I have a long, narrow sitting room and cannot find a layout that works. It has double doors on one of the long sides, not central, and a fireplace on the same wall. Help! A: I wold suggest placing the TV on the wall between the fireplace and door to dining room at a normal viewing height. Over the fireplace in such a narrow room will place the viewers neck at a very uncomfortable angle. Then place the sofa and love seat at an angle with the corner centered in the wall across from the fireplace and TV. There should still be room to add one chair to this grouping. The remainder of the room on the other side of the DR door could have the additional chair lamp and table as a reading corner. Remember empty the room of almost everything before starting to place the furniture. Do this before you decide on TV placement. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
