• I give you 3 options for the body color, using a national paint brand easily available to you.

A client in Florida writes:

Dear Mary, I can’t thank you enough for generously sharing your talents to benefit the animals of the Leon County Humane Society. The exterior color scheme was perfect for us. The members absolutely love the changes. It feels like a wonderful place to adopt. I have gotten so much positive feedback. We are having the outside photographed by a professional , but here are a few of mine that give you a sense of the new look!!!  Your kind response to my plea was such a God-send. Your work will benefit lots more animals who need homes… Thank you, Mary!   Wags, Tracey Van Hook, President, Leon County Humane Society

From an Interior Color client in Pennsylvania:

Dear Mary, The painters are finished and they may be in touch with you as they loved the colors, also. The bronze color is magical as it appears new and different in each change of light. I also favor the misty looking ceiling in the powder room. Thank you for your creativity and quick service. Sincerely, Cindy
