I have something to buzz about today. My “Color For Your Home” blog was added to the blog roll of the blog written by the designers of Beehive Studio for Valspar Paint.
Color Buzz is written by four very talented decorative and mural painters and it seems we are kindred spirits. We all love color and enjoy sharing what we know with our readers so that the process of making color decisions is less intimidating and more fun. If you haven’t yet discovered Color Buzz check it out.
