Color your world with style

IF THE thought of painting your
house gives you the blues, don’t
fear, help is at hand.

A guest at this year’s B.C.
Home Show will be Leslie
Harrington of Benjamin Moore
Paints.

What Harrington doesn't know
about painting, you can write on
the back of a paint chip. As head
of the color and design depart-
ment, she comes well qualified to
solve all your painting and color
problems, and throw in a handful
of brilliant ideas to really get your
house looking great.

Harrington is a member of the
Colour Marketing Group, and one
of only a handful of people in the
world who is qualified to forecast
color trends for years to come, for
a vast range of consumer and com-
mercial products.

Among the duties of her multi-

_ faceted job, she advises on the use
of colors to hospitals and schools.
Based on color psychology,
Harrington's advice can also bene-
fit retailers and restaurateurs, as

“The use of color can help us to
concentrate or relax or find the
extra energy to complete a tire-
some task,” she said.

Already gencrating a lot of
interest is her presentations on
Fantasy Finishes. With a few casy-
to-learn techniques, almost anyone
can turn ordinary walls and furni-
ture into amazing works of art.

“The effects can be truly stun-
ning and dramatic, but what is
really appealing about the Fantasy
Finishes is their modest cost and
the speed which they can be com-
pleted. It is possible to plan a pro-
ject and complete it in a week-
end.”

The basic technique involves
painting the wall a solid base
color, over which layers of addi-
tional colors are dubbed, wiped or
dragged using rolled-up rags, a
sponge or other implements, often
improvised. These layers of color
can be opaque (right out of the
can) or transparent glazes which
create depth of color, as v-ell as

pattern and texture.
You can use either latex (water-
based) or. alkyd (oil-based) paint,

with each type producing a differ- -

ent effect. Fast-drying latex will
give strong, clear patterns, while
for softer, translucent effects,
slower drying alkyd is best.

The B.C. Home Show will be
held at B.C. Place Stadium from
Oct. 13 to 16.
