This week I'm giving you a peek into the first week of my beach cottage makeover. The little cottage was taken down to the studs in some rooms, but it's a great opportunity to make this space a beautifully appointed, furnished short-term rental.
My San Diego based contractor, Ken Galves and his team have been so efficient and collaborative. Except he told me last minute that I needed to choose paint colors asap. This caused a mini-panic since time is money, and I don't want his team delayed because of me.
This may be a controversial yet brave decision not to use white paint on the walls in this small, low-lit space. I took the advice from the ultra-talented designer, Emily Henderson who preaches that unless your small space is filled with natural light throughout the day, white paint will end up looking flat, dull and without depth. And who wants that?
I am putting all of my paint color research into developing a beautiful palette of neutral paint colors for this small, light-starved cottage. Come join my neutral paint color journey.
