Since color can have an impact on moods, feelings, and behaviors, it is important to understand the power of color when it comes to your home.  When you’re choosing a paint color for your next project, keep these properties of color in mind.

Determining the material and condition of your cabinets will tell you what type of paint you will need, and how much work it will take to prepare the surfaces for that paint.
