page-a-planner,” an odd name for a design consultation service!  Plan what?

If you’ve ever moved into a new space and wondered how to make it feel like your own . . . or wanted to move from an old space simply because it felt too much like your own, you probably have an answer to that question.  But even if you already have your answer, you might know exactly what to do . . . until you face your paint store’s Benjamin Moore display cases, filled with hundreds of color samples.  Even then we can help!

The Painterly Craft can come up with a color scheme for an open floor plan or the design tricks needed to make your uncomfortable space more acceptable to the eye – what ordinarily would be the first step in any of our painting projects – as an independent service.  It all begins with a snap-shot assessment of the offending space.

That results in recommendations, either as on-the-spot advice or in an illustrated written report, for example, outlining a sequence of [Benjamin Moore]colors:

. . . . or explaining how we can call attention to vertical lines that make a low ceiling seem higher . . . how dark colors can be deftly used to suggest shadows that, in turn, create the illusion of depth . . . how furniture can be placed to make the same room seem either expansive or intimate.
