2025 Colors of the Year – Part 2

This Victorian style home was part of the new Overlook section of this sustainable community.

2025 Colors of the Year – Part 1
It’s that time of the year again. As we move closer to 2025, the top paint brands have released their anticipated “Colors of the Year,” setting the tone for design trends in both residential and commercial spaces.

Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
