To bring in pops of color here’s what talented photographer, Amy Neusinger did in her Laurel Canyon home. Amy painted her walls blue and beams red while keeping bedding, window treatments and floors more neutral. Try Ralph Lauren’s “Dressage Red” or Sherwin-Williams “Gulfstream” for floors, moldings, doors or details.

Of note: We covered Amy’s wedding in Martha Stewart Weddings and we worked with Amy a lot on photo shoots while I was at Martha Stewart Living. Amy hosted us for dinner in her California home before it was renovated. She and her husband were excited talking about what they wanted to do then, so I’m so happy to see all the amazing ideas and details come to fruition.
