" Let's meet Leslie Curtis is our interior designer hi Leslie. Hi -- oriented to see today yeah and you've come prepared with boards in a little bit of a story about how you chose all the colors right. Now I'm very proud of the -- like this is the Bob Vila signature collection for interior. Wall and trim paint and so you've got a full house here that you've been choosing colors from -- What's this green called."
" This is called seedling tint to it's a wonderful wonderful nature based color. This -- right here this is this one right here most of your colors are nature based and they don't disappoint on the wall switches and."
" Dreamed that -- and an important part don't disappoint on the wall because when you're choosing a -- from mr. tiny little two inch sample and a and a board like this you don't always know exactly when it's gonna look like when he gets up in the room."
" You don't and oftentimes you can be disappointed but as you can see here we're not. Yes and you've got a lot of variables to in terms of things like what -- drew the amount of natural light that comes into the space absolutely I try to ground us with natural colors and I'm thinking in terms of this room with our beautiful hardwood floor. We will use -- run without the deeper shade of green mountains and the 'cause we have. Many pieces from the Lyman estate with many of the historical fabrics different. Princeton chances that. We'll be putting in this room we need to have these colors and what works with a color like this where these samples well these samples are historical patterns from the SP NEA and as you can see we can pick up the green. If we choose."
" So this SP NEA is the society for the preservation of New England antiquities are going to -- visiting there a little bit later in the felt. But you've picked a lot of these reissued fabrics."
" Absolutely brunch we can -- does the SP NEA it's fabric line as well as their wallpaper red -- but there's a beautiful news or red you know their icy paths you can. And work and you also have the green which complements this also beautifully. And then for the trim on all these windows you chose which one of these we chose this home now that is. Pardon me -- my glasses yes the great white trim when there's a very very beautiful. Ivory and I think because this is a great room it has. An elegant look as well as an informal look me and people will be entertaining in here."
" I'm happy I think it looks great. It's a beautiful home especially surrounded by nature as we are all of these terrific windows we're seeing nothing but treetops let's take a look at what you're gonna choose for the little -- Now this den is not as large as the great room obviously and it only has two windows so what."
" We're going from."
" We're going from the -- him. -- lives today this is called marsh -- again the beautiful and it's kind of a neutral color from nature it is an and it's a color that can go from subtle to dramatic we have used this in here and we use it again in the foyer and up the stairway."
" OK what hasn't been put on the walls here yet but at the top it certainly does look different yeah. In a darker space it takes on a different quality. It's much more dramatic and it's a wonderful backdrop it'll be fabulous with some antique wooden furniture around absolutely."
