EXPLORING, EXPRESSING & EXPERIENCING COLOR
TESTIMONIALS
We had a major addition constructed to our home and renovated much of the existing space. We asked Sally to assist us in developing a color scheme for the entire project—new and old. We wanted to update our current look and feel of our home and didn’t know where to start. Sally’s ability and talent was an invaluable resource in helping us create an environment that we could not have imagined without her guidance.
We have been working with Sally for over five years on various projects throughout our house. She has helped us with everything from a major exterior house project to picking out the colors for all three of our kid’s rooms. Words can’t express how much we love her and her expertise! She has always picked the perfect color for everything we have done. We HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing guidance with color!
My husband and I recently decided that an update to our 25 year old home was needed. Sally had been recommended to us by a mutual friend so we set up an appointment to meet. Upon our first visit, it was clear we would work well together. We were looking for help with wall color, hardwood floor stain, window treatments, and bathroom remodeling throughout. Sally spent a couple hours with us walking through our home and listening to us. The creative process was completely enjoyable, very smooth and efficient. She helped us with every aspect of our “redo” paint color, tile, area rugs, bathroom fixtures, decorating and generally helped us pull everything together to look cohesive and quite beautiful. She made it fun!
Sally really took the time with me to make sure I was happy with a variety of choices. She clearly has a passion for what she does and is a pleasure to work with. We are so happy with the color on the exterior of our home, and our neighbors absolutely love it!
Feel free to tell people that P.D. and/or S.D. in Clifton have been very pleased with her work. We offer her contact information to anyone deciding about new colors for their house’s interior or exterior. We consulted with her to pick a single color for our living room, foyer and upstairs hallway—a color that had to work with a variety of rooms, floors, woodwork and carpets. Committing to one color was a huge decision for our untrained eyes, and Sally listened to understand our vision for the house before guiding us in the right direction. We again used her expertise when we painted our house’s exterior, and she guided us to a combination of colors that worked wonderfully for our house and detached garage. Given the money that goes into these jobs and the costs of adjusting course midway, it was well worth her reasonable fee for a couple of hours of guidance to get the colors right.
Just wanted to let you know we love the colors you helped us choose for our home! My husband and I have gotten so many compliments. Our neighbors say it looks like we have a whole new house.
I was nervous about changing from the “safe” taupe and chocolate brown we’d had for many years. Knowing that, you helped me choose even better versions of the colors that we’d had since our home was first built, then you jumped right in with wonderful suggestions that I never would have thought of myself. I truly appreciate the way you didn’t try to influence me, you just kept making suggestions until I could see my favorite choice.
Thank you Sally!!! I love the way our home looks now. It feels like we should be on TV on a show called extreme makeovers!!!
We have consulted with Sally for over five years now in both our new home and some of the many homes that we restore professionally after fire and water damage. This morning I found myself halting a painting project in our office because Sally had not been consulted. In my own homes I have spent years trying to get the color right only to start again with another brilliant color choice. I have found Sally’s direction very helpful, taking our own ideas and clarifying them while avoiding the occasional “color mishap”. We continue to get many compliments on “our colors” year after year. Thank you Sally for your help.
What a pleasure to work with you again. Our house has already been transformed with the choices you helped us make before and we have no doubt that it will be further transformed with the exterior and downstairs colors we have selected. Choosing colors has been mission impossible for us in the past, but you were able to lead us down the right path and convert us from a couple who always chose navajo white to a couple who loves tavern taupe in their foyer. And, we had fun and learned a lot in the process.
We’ll let you know once the latest round of painting is finished so you can drop by for a “tour”.
Take care. Thank you again for everything.
I just wanted to say thank you so much for doing a fabulous job helping us pick out colors for our home.Construction is finally finished and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The colors flow and compliment each other beautifully. (Our painter liked the color choice for the family room so much, he decided to use it in his house!)
We hope to work with you in the near future getting your valuable input …. (outside of house desperately needs attention) and wouldn’t dream of doing it without you!!
Thanks again Sally.
Everyone who stops by LOVES the colors!!! Thank you Sally for the beautiful job you did in my new home! I could not have done this without you. My home now has a personality that feels warm and inviting! I love the great colors we choose and wonderful ideas you gave me on furniture placement! I have had the best time working with you and will want your help as we continue to update our new home. Thanks again!
I feel so very fortunate to have met Sally as I have NO sense of designing. She listened to my likes and dislikes and suggested solutions that solved my decorating dilemmas, all within the parameters of my budget. I look forward to working with her on the rest of the renovation on my home. Sally has been extremely patient and sweet. I have learned so much from her, not that I plan on doing a single thing with out her help EVER. She talked me though all the color choices to narrow done just the right ones for my personality.
What a great way to come home, a crisp clean new color of wall paint. You really have a way with seeing the true colors, and you really knew what I needed! It was absolutely wonderful to have you in my home. I appreciate the small details of your color matching techniques. What an eye opener, and wealth of information you have been—your color analysis was right on! I am so impressed with the colors you have chosen. I feel like I stepped into the set of the latest home make over on HGTV. You gave me the Wow factor that I was looking for. I have recommended your services to my friends, and if you ever need a referral, I would gladly do so for you. With many thank-yous and sincere appreciation.

Sally was great! She makes it all seem so easy. Very accommodating, fast, and thorough, she listened to my thoughts, identified the important features, and showed me how to accentuate the features through color.
Before Sally left, we had the colors for the walls, floors, windows and cabinets, and she took me from feeling discouraged, to feeling excited about our project.
Thank you so very much for helping me with the color selections for my new house. You rescued me from the world of micromanagement with your “color 101” descriptions. I appreciated your willingness to spend so much time with me—your patience allowed me to find the perfect colors. The palette that we selected reflects beautiful tones and also reflects the things that I value in my home…warmth, tranquility, originality, and fun. Thank you for helping me to make my house a beautiful home.
Working with Sally Fennell is like having coffee with a friend. Sally is a truly gifted artist who shares her extensive knowledge in a fun, casual way. What I was looking for was someone to help me pick out colors for a variety of rooms in my house. I got that and SO MUCH MORE! I feel like I got a private education in color. She asked lots of questions so she understood what I was looking for. She then helped me “create” that feeling through color. What she shared has also helped me pick out accessories for my home because I have a better understanding of how colors work, blend, and compliment each other. The whole feel of my house is so different and wonderful.It was such a treat to work with her!!!
During our first consult Sally made one comment that stood out to me: “Your home should tell your story, the story of your life and family”. As an artist herself, Sally has an extensive knowledge of colors, how they work together, and an innate sense of design. She took everything in, put it all together, and the result is a beautiful new look on our first floor and lower level. A pleasure to work with!
With Sally’s help, a stressful decision making process was transformed into a truly enjoyable learning experience. Sally was interested in more than just matching colors to decor. Through insightful questions and color education, she helped me achieve an over-all sense of simplicity and calm within my home while maintaining fluid transitions from room to room. I made choices that I would not have made on my own, yet each choice was true to the intended function and feeling of my home.
People constantly compliment us on the outside paint scheme of our house. Inside they realize how warm and comfortable it is—they can’t believe we used a colorist—most people don’t realize that job exists. For our friend Sally it’s not science, it’s not a job, it’s just her God given talent. Time spent working with her happens with ease and professionalism—she is one of the loveliest presences to be around.
