“A few hours with you were more efficient, educational and fun than the months I spent
trying it alone. Love the results! You've forever changed the way I look at color.”

"In the box" or "out of the box,"
together we'll create a color plan that works for you.
Here is a small collection of colorful home projects created with my clients...

Entry to newly built custom craftsman home with stone and fine woodworking. Warm earthy paint color enhances the natural stone around the fireplace. A cozy corner couch in a media room works with soft wall color so the homeowners' collections of rugs and pillows create the "pop" in the room. An open floor plan utilizes a custom dining cabinet in a bold color to separte the dining room from the butler's pantry. Subtle shifts in color delineate entry from living areas.

A classic Seattle Craftsman gets a huge facelift with a simple palette than highlights architectural detail as it was meant to be. A soft spring green keeps a breakfast nook cheery all year round in Seattle. Dramatic tile design and rich gold wall colors ensure the fire always feels like it is lit in this Ballard living room. This Eastside home exterior makeover woke up architectural details the homeowners didn't know they had, in a lodge style they love.

"I had no idea we would have so much fun coordinating our remodeling selections.
Thank you for taking away the stress. My husband even liked your process!"

This Greenwood home remodel went from 1970's scary to contemporary Seattle stunner with clean lines and nature based colors to appeal to new home buyers. Color used in an open floor plan helps create separate living spaces and more dimension to make a small space feel larger. Fireplace tile with a modern approach using stone, porcelain, and glass. A boring tiny kitchen became a jewel box with a complete wrap of tile around the window and to the ceiling, with timeless contemporary glass accents. A light granite stone countertop contrast brilliantly with dark cabinets for contemporary drama. A waterfall effect created with glass and stone tile is a simple statement in a contemporary bath.

A CityBuilders, Inc. home remodel includes an update to exterior colors to contrast with authentic river rock fence and fireplace stone. A old, tired Seattle crafstman wakes up with fresh perior color applied inside and out. Fireplace marble tile and warm floor and wall colors make this a cozy reading nook no matter the weather or time of day. A bold dining room warms up the taste buds and invites guests to linger. An awkward outdated kitchen became a warm kitchen with a lot more storage space by turning an awkward kitchen entry into a full wall pantry with more counter space and cabinetry. A skylight showers the classic look of white tile work, while bringing the main bathroom more contemporary detailing.

Brick is always a strong color presence on exteriors, so paint and trim need to compliment. A romantic sitting room with chocolate and latte colors invites conversations and cuddling. A dining nook is accented with metallic paint applied in loose brush strokes to create the perfect backdrop for silver and crystal on the cherry sideboard. Nothing beckons to a fun family room like a hint of red on a peek-a-boo stairwell landing. This Sammamish homeowners retire to hotel romance and drama every night in their master bedroom with deep mocha walls. Refacing kitchen cabinets and new granite selected to work with existing black appliance creates a fun and functional kitchen and cocktail staging spot for enjoying company while you cook.

 

Who is ColorWhiz?

An artist since birth, blessed with experiencing color first-hand around the world.

I've always been highly sensitive to color, whether in the juxtaposition of a spring flower against a stone wall or in how architectural color is uniquely used in different cultures. When I bought my first home, I worked extensively on a variety of creative color palettes before settling on what best expressed me, woke up my home's architecture inside and out, and helped improve things for my neighbors. It also improved my life, but that's another story.

After repeated positive feedback from professionals in the home trades,
ColorWhiz Architectural Color Consulting was born.

Why collaborate with ColorWhiz?

I love the whole process — from minor changes to an existing interior paint palette that dramatically update your space — to total remodeling plans that include selection of all permanent materials — to creating colorful exterior makeovers that make it look like you might have torn down and rebuilt your home, though all we've changed is paint!

What I love most is the magic that happens when we create together, as a team. You know what works and doesn't work for you. I'm there to help you express yourself, share multiple possibilities, avoid mistakes — and save your time, money and sanity.

I've had the pleasure of training with Leatrice Eiseman and Frank Mahnke, leaders in their color fields, not to mention the pleasure of amazing art teachers from kindergarten through college. I've made my living as a collaborative creative professional all along the way, including teaching and speaking about color in a variety of venues.

I've had the pleasure of working with amazing homebuilders and remodelers throughout the Northwest, including on staff as color consultant and selections coordinator. Huge multifamily projects, major remodels, new construction, existing homes and home remodeling all have different color selection processes and needs. The teams can include any number from a couple of homeowners to a conference room full of stakeholders. I love working collaboratively and adjusting to the needs, speeds and schedules of my clients. I have digital color skills and am not afraid to use them!

You will learn a lot about color, and have fun doing it!

My background includes color theory, painting, drawing, silkscreen, batik, communication arts,
psychology, design, professional remodeling selections, marketing, web design, photography — and coaching homeowners and professionals to work with color successfully.

The exterior color palette for a multifamily development in Redmond uses color to help creatively break up the mass of a crowded neighborhood and help homeowners use color to find their units.

 

Let's make your color happen right the first time.
Call ColorWhiz at (206) 890-0434 today for a chat.

I'd love to help create a custom color plan that truly expresses you,
or helps make your home irresistable to the next buyer.

Sincerely, Renee Adsitt
