Mi-Ling Stone Poole –<\/p>\n

Dear Mi-Ling: I\u2019ve been living in my ranch style home for 20 years.<\/p>\n

My problem is that I just can’t seem to get my home together. I have a problem deciding how to paint my great room -not sure where the different paint should start and end.<\/p>\n

How do you go about picking colors that look really good together? \u00a0My style is sort of eclectic and somewhat earthy traditional.<\/p>\n

HELP!<\/p>\n

Dear Annie: Take a few deep breaths. You don\u2019t have to recreate the entire space in a day. Take a room at a time.<\/p>\n

Here are few tips to get your started.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find an inspiration piece that will incorporate all of the colors for your design. A painting, a swatch of fabric or your favorite dress -once you have the colors, go to your local paint store and select one of the more neutral.<\/li>\n
  2. After you\u2019ve selected your paint color pull some of the other colors from the inspiration piece to use as accent colors for your rug, drapes and other fabrics.<\/li>\n
  3. To define the space within your great room you can add crown modeling or just paint the entire space one color and accent with different colors in the adjoining rooms.<\/li>\n
  4. This should get you started with your design. Good luck with your eclectic, earthy-traditional d\u00e9cor.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Where do you find\u00a0inspiration for your color scheme?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
