My Deco dinning room chairs needed attention and the color of the hand-poured glass ,in the table, was keeping me very restricted. The result was beyond words! Smart choices of color contrast and texture made the room come alive. I like to think I have a pretty good eye and sense of taste but there is something about that professional edge, for sure! **★★★★★ — cohbru, July 2013** > Lisa is a gem. First of all, she wants to know your thoughts and your tastes. She does not want to impose hers on you but wants to help you realize your vision.

A: This is an original piece. Oil on canvas. https://melindastickneygibson.com/home.html If you ask her she may consider doing something similar for you! **Q: Living Room Ceiling** *(in Photo Questions)* what kind of wood and stain color was used on the living room ceiling? A: Pine with a clear finish (gets more yellow over time) **Q: What is the color of the island?** *(in Photo Questions)* Nm A: It is a custom color but similar to Fine Paints of Europe E25-53or 54 Always best to look at colors in the space where they will actually be and coordinate with other colors in the room. This is an off black with a blue cast to it. **Q: Upholstered wall** *(in Photo Questions)* How is it done! A: These are individual panels that are padded and then wrapped. Mounted on cleats. Thanks for asking! **Q: How could I replicate the color of the upper blue cabinets? DIY** *(in Photo Questions)* I was thinking of painting my kitchen cabinets.... Have a very limited budget. The color of blue Is my absolute favorite color. Any ideas what the color of blue is and what is underneath. I would appreciate any help with identifying the blue? Thank you. A: This was a custom color from Premier cabinets. The upper cabinets are painted and then glazed with a darker color. If you need to paint with no glaze then Benj. Moore Aspen Skies 1656 or Seaside Resort 725 will give you a similar look. You need to pick the color in the space as the light is different in each room as well as each geographic location! Good luck. **Q: Chair** *(in Photo Questions)* What style/designer/brand is that chair? I realize its probably vintage but would appreciate any details possible. Thank you! A: You're funny. One thing I always do is use the props you have to help you determine how high you want to make the cushion. Like putting a thin flat cushion unde the existing one, or newspaper and then wrap the whole thing with a fabric so you get the idea of what the finished cushion will look like and if you think it is the right proportion. No there were no markings on the chair. We had them refinished (they were a weird red purple color) and we didn't see any identifying marks. Good luck --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
