“I know what you’re thinking: why does anyone need help identifying their color preference, and how are you going to tell the fellas (or gals) that you hired a color consultant? I’ll just say this, after my consultation I painted with anticipation, rather than anxiety. I couldn’t be more pleased my choice.”

“When I renovated my house I was overwhelmed with decisions, floors, doors, cabinetry, sinks, faucets…When it was time to paint I had no idea what colors to choose or how to transition from one room to the next. Cherie made this easy and fun. After visiting the house and interviewing me she developed a color palette complete with accent colors for each room that I still use today. Cherie saved me time and money. There was no fretting over what colors to choose. I tested a few samples, painted and was done.”

“We had not painted for four years after living in our home. The thought of selecting colors for all our rooms paralyzed us. Cherie came to our home with color fans and helped us choose colors that fit our style and we love the look. It feels more like home than before we painted.

“I chose Cherie to help me select colors because after meeting with her, I was aware of her natural creativity and knew she would give me something different than I would give myself. She listened to every aspect of what I was looking for and got a sense of who I am. Cherie helped me choose the perfect colors and something unique and different. Everyone loves the look as much as I do. I would definitely refer her and have to many people. As a realtor in the DC area, I continue to consult with her.

“Cherie brought creativity and discipline to my color selection process, combining a helpful understanding of color theory -- especially related to transition, light and color palette -- with a real commitment to understanding my own individual preferences. I highly recommend Cherie as a color consultant."

"Cherie was a natural at reading our needs and bringing out our personality and expression on the color palette. During our initial consultation, Cherie took my husband and I through a logical and thoughtful process, helping us really zero in on a particular mood and arrangement of space and color, taking each room into meaningful account.
Moving is such a stressful and disorienting time, and I could always depend on Cherie to bring me back to the beautiful vision we created. Our home is our refuge, and I have been amazed at how Cherie goes beyond the color of one's walls, and really creates an artistic vision of space, from furniture ideas to indoor plant recommendations. Cherie is such a bright, uplifting presence that sees beauty and potential anywhere, and her experience, artistic vision, and ease of being combine in a marvelous way, that left our home my favorite place to be."

“I recently moved into a row house on Capitol Hill where multiple rooms flow from the main room, and every wall in the house was painted white. The high ceilings and layout of this home were intimidating, as I have always had to paint every house I’ve lived in 3-4 times to finally get the color I really wanted (those darn little paint chips can be SO deceiving!)
This time, I wanted to ensure I would only paint once, as I did not have the time and money to repeat the process! I had been to a party at a beautiful home that Cherie had received rave reviews for, so I decided to contact her to help me (secretly wondering if I could actually afford to hire an expert). To my surprise, her rates were incredibly reasonable, and I immediately felt a sense of relief knowing that I had a professional partner to help me make the right choices.
Cherie’s confidence and gift at knowing the slight variances in color, along with her professional portfolio, resources, and other design ideas, make her consulting rate one of the best investments I’ve ever made! She listened carefully, and was sensitive to my personal tastes, and then helped me pick colors that I would never have had the confidence to choose on my own.
Now, I tell everyone that Cherie is a miracle worker! This is the first time I’ve only painted once and I absolutely LOVE my living space! Working with Cherie empowered me to achieve the exact look I really wanted, and now my house truly feels like MY home. I receive compliments from everyone who enters my home, and I am so proud to have friends come over to show off my beautiful space!
I highly recommend that anyone, either novice or professional, hire Cherie. She helps you realize how something as simple as color, can dramatically enhance the quality of your life. Her guidance will save you time, money, and countless hours of regret (and if you’re anything like I used to be…. it will also save you 20+ trips to the paint store to try to get it right!).”
