Irene Hill attended my True Colour Expert Workshop this past June in Vancouver. We clicked immediately and I was thrilled to hear she lived in Langley (just a short 1/2 hour drive from me).  Irene is a very talented designer who has done everything from staging to complete home renovations.

Irene Hill
She has been working with me for over two weeks already and I feel so much lighter! She’s pulling my first e-book together, and will help me with everything I’m launching for the fall.  
I feel blessed and lucky to have found her, in one of my own workshops of all places. Irene is gracious, warm and witty and a delight to be around!  It’s great to have a True Colour Expert on my team (well it will be an even bigger team soon)!
ps. My favourite thing about her (BONUS) is that she’s honest and talks without a filter (just like me).

    Maria,

    I just found your blog a few days ago and have been reading posts in every spare moment I have. I love color, and I appreciate all the explaining you do.

    I have a small house with 9 foot ceilings. The kitchen/dining/living room is airy and open but the two bedrooms feel narrow and too high. I thought I would have to paint a darker color on the top third of the wall and possibly the ceiling, but I don't see any pictures on here with walls painted like that. Is it because most of the rooms you do are large, is it dated, or is it one of those myths? Do I simply have too much stuff in the rooms? One room has a west-facing window and the other a south-facing one.

    If you feel like giving me a hint on this I would be more than grateful.

    Nancy

    PS. I knew you would notice the splashes of yellow in my recent post. I added the orange juice spritzers just to pull in the color. 🙂
