That’s a lovely interview, Gillian! Nice to *see* you again. I’m a sucker for colored vintage glasses, as well. And pyrex. 
We were building a house on the East Coast while moving from San Francisco…and were completely overwhelmed. I had no time to choose colors and didn’t even know where to start.Gillian Rose of Color Our World was recommended by our interior designer. She came, met with us, walk the house and selected the perfect 25 colors that reflect us–everything came so natural to her!. Gillian created a paint schedule and away we went.We are surrounded by colors that we love and make us all happy…and I get compliments all the time.
