So glad you also painted the brick!

Wow, your paint choices look beautiful!! 👏

Great article... and responses. I think most folks would say "yes" to all (or at least most of) the suggested feelings. I think it's important to ask the question of each room, actually, since different spaces can/should have different purposes and evoke different responses. I start each client consultation with a questionnaire that contains similar questions to tap into residents' wishes, aesthetic, values, and more. Our surroundings can really enhance our well-being when we deliberately create spaces to address our needs.

Laura: As a real estate agent I read and repost many of your articles on my social pages every month -- but this is one of the best I've ever read from anyone on Houzz. Very insightful, practical and useful info that I (and my clients) can apply every day. Thanks!
