Color Classes













This is an example of what color can do!

Here, a client had all the peices of the "puzzle" for her child's room. We just picked out the colors for the walls, and pulled all their furniture and accessories together to make a fun, kid friendly safari room!


With this wintery weather, I'm so glad to have warm, cozy colors surrounding me in my house! I just want to turn the fire on (sadly, a flip of a switch for me) cozy up, read a book and go through my piles of magazines! I just wanted to let you know that Julianna and I are offering some free color classes at Sherwin Williams in the upcoming months. We can help you gain the confidence to pick out colors for your home or office. Our classes will be held at the Covington Sherwin Williams (253-639-2777) We'll be teaching how color defines mood, balance and theme. The greatest part...you can bring a "color inspiration" to class...a peice of art, fabric, food, clothing...anything...and we will help you choose a color based on your inspiration and show you how the Color to Go system works! Classes will be:

Thursday, March 29th from 6 - 7 p.m.
Saturday, March 31st from 10 - 11 a.m.

Wednesday, April 18 from 6 - 7 p.m.
Thursday, April 26th from 6 - 7 p.m.
Saturday, April 28th from 10 - 11 a.m.

Wednesday, May 9 from 6 - 7 p.m.

Hope to see you there!

2006 in Review!


(Pictured: Barbi accepts a Redesign Award from Lee Snijders)

We had a blast in 2006! It was a year of firsts, fantastic awards and recognitions, and a lot of SPINS!!! In February, I was nominated and elected to the IRIS Board of Directors, and represents the 800 plus members in the redesign industry who are members of the Interior Redesign Industry Specialists. Barbi and I both recieved redesign awards, which were presented to us by Lee Snijders from HGTV's Design on a Dime. With that momentum, we were interviewed by the Seattle PI and featured in their Home and Garden section, and continued to teach classes around the Puget Sound.

Premier Post!





Hi! Julianna here, and I am thrilled to share interesting happenings in our redesign business with you, as well as just good ‘ol fun stuff! Spring is an exciting time for Roomspinners… not only is it our busiest time, but we also gear up for our annual conference, which this year, is in Nashville, Tennessee.


January and brings a number of calls from both Realtors and Homeowners alike who desire professional staging for homes on the market. This spring the market has slowed, that is why staging is so important. It gives a home an edge in a competitive market. Our work doesn’t stop there, because homeowners are spring cleaning and beautifying their homes.

Here we show a beautiful dining area in a home that had lovely surroundings. We removed extra furnishings - some were located in other rooms of the home to help stage those areas. By opening up blinds to the beautiful outdoors, and bringing live plants into the living space, the best features of this home and it's location took center stage. This home in Covington Washington was a quick sell! (Realtor: Carmen Tomlinson, Remax Realty South)
