Folks-- Thought this may sound like something right off of the cable channels (think:HGTV), but wanted to pass on the experience we had with Linda Gemal, a color consultant/interior decorator/organizer extraordinaire. We've all heard that being a good lawyer is not necessarily a matter of knowing all the answers, but rather knowing where to find the answers. Getting outside-the-box ("box" being our home), professional insight helped us imagine our small bungalow in new ways--a bit like getting a not-so-extreme home makeover. Anyway, Linda visited our home this past week and gave a cogency to our wall colors, furnishings, and storage needs. She's friendly, knowledgeable, and engaged without being bossy, if you know what I mean. She spent two hours with us and emailed a written report of our discussion--a checklist for future work--the following day. We felt it was money very well spent and highly recommend Linda should you want to "freshen up" the look of your space. Best to all, Gregory MacCrone Portland
