BE COLOR CONFIDENT

with a Certified True Color Expert™

Painting can be a big investment so it's important to be confident in your color choices. Many people can be good at color, but to be great with paint, you need experience and education. We know how undertones work, which undertone goes with which, how lighting affects paint, and what to expect it to actually look like when the paint is on the walls. Very few Minnesota interior designers have this highly-acclaimed, international CERTIFIED TRUE COLOUR EXPERT™  certification. Between wall color, cabinets, counters, trim, flooring, and furnishing, Melanie can help you pull it all together and make your home look and feel cohesive. Schedule a Virtual Color Consultation today.

"We have been SO BUSY since we met you. You spawned an excitement and enthusiasm hurricane. Let me update you on what's happened in 6 days  ..."

"Happy Place recently did a color consultation for me at our new house. Thank Goodness! The colors I wanted for the house and the colors I thought were close, would have been vastly different

Happy Place saved me a lot of money in paint and time. Melanie was able to walk me through the undertones of the paints I chose and show me better options that worked with my lighting and trim/floor colors. I got the color affect I wanted and it turned out great!!  – Angela
