About the Author

Kelly Bruce Bernier has been in the design and redesign business for over 10 years.

Her passion has always been with color in decorating and home improvement.

She has tried to help clients understand the ‘magic of paint’ and how it’s an inexpensive way to update and refresh a room without having to change anything else!

An expert in color and paint, Kelly has given seminars to both large and small groups, on taking the ‘mystery’ out of how to begin and where to start the paint color selection.

She stresses that paint color is the foundation of the room and certain questions should be asked by the home owner before beginning a project.

Kelly is also a member of the worldwide interior refiner network, the IRN, which was founded by Lauri Ward of New York City.
