Are you <span style="color: blue;">blue</span>? How about <span style="color: #cc0000;">fire-engine red</span>? Are your days
filled with <span style="color: #f1c232;">school bus yellow</span>? Perhaps they should be. The colors of your walls are more than
decoration; they can impact your mood. Painting your walls is an easy way to
update the look and feel of any room. By looking at the moods different colors create, you can choose a paint color that please your eyes and your mind. To choose a paint color, start with the purpose of the room. Will it be used as a study or a room to relax with your friends? Because every color creates a different mood, after identifying what mood you want to create, the color choice will follow.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #0b5394;">
<b>Blue</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If you need to relax, blue will do the trick, especially if painted on large walls. Anyone with a
stressful job looking for a peaceful, serene home space would do well to choose blue. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="color: #0b5394;">Good For:</b><span style="color: #0b5394;"> study, family room</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #e69138;">
<b>Orange</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Get your creative juices going! This is a great color if you're looking to generate inspiration or want to keep young minds active. An equally good choice for playrooms and boardrooms, orange is a color for rooms where thought is the first priority.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #990000;">
<b>Red</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A bold choice, and red is the color most often associated with passion and desire. Because of its strong shade, red is typically reserved for bedrooms, but it can also be used in any room that you'd like to add energy. Try a light red (pink) and add accents of darker red in carpeting or other decor. </div>

<br />
<b>Neutral Colors </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometimes, you want a room to be a blank slate for those who walk in to imagine their own possibilities, such as when selling your home. In this case, neutral colors such as white, tan, or cream with subtle accents work best. These colors will make your home feel well cared for without leaving too much of your own personality.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Consistency vs.
Variety</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s okay to change color from room to room if that’s your
style. The key is to think about how you want to feel when you’re at home
with your family and friends. If
you decide your style is having a variety of colors, make sure to find a fabric
or artwork to help pull it all together. This will allow your home to
feel cohesive. A home that’s painted with this thought in mind, gives an
impression of a well thought out design and smooth transitions. The key is to choosing a color is to decide what you want the feel of the room to be. Do you want a relaxing study or one that stimulates your thoughts? </div>

Considered the easternmost Refuge in the Mississippi flyway, this 35,000-acre Refuge attracts thousands of wintering waterfowl each year and supports the southernmost and Alabama's only significant concentration of wintering Southern James Bay Canada geese. It also serves as winter habitat for the State's largest duck population. In addition to migratory birds, the Refuge hosts 115 species of fish, 74 species of reptiles and amphibians, 47 species of mammals, and 285 different species of songbirds. The Refuge is also home to 10 federally listed endangered or threatened species.<br /><br /></span></span> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Wheeler NWR is comprised of a great diversity of habitat types such as bottomland hardwoods, wetlands, pine uplands, agricultural fields, and backwater embayment. These habitats provide excellent feeding, loafing, and roosting sites for waterfowl, as well as nesting sites for migrating songbirds. The Refuge provides a much-needed oasis in one of the fastest growing regions in the state, with Madison being ranked as one of the top ten fasting growing cities in the nation in 2002.</span></span></p> <!--EndFragment-->Jeff Benton Homeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02800013676490144177noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5176106841594869275.post-74358066515792779132010-01-15T13:46:00.000-08:002010-01-15T14:31:49.202-08:00Don't take our word for it...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc1u07SU3Th3dyf73Ug8KjPKgCtoFXwxj8mRGsgJFodsY7lFzKUXjFOWjoRx_XNNyiH_P1xUQQu_TtGQ3pFPLMePbDJJh8rh1C-FKVpBZ4Bib6vGIg7f96HXAhaPwif0Ev__S_2BztU-E/s1600-h/Guildmember_120x120.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 120px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 120px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427097440163957794" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhc1u07SU3Th3dyf73Ug8KjPKgCtoFXwxj8mRGsgJFodsY7lFzKUXjFOWjoRx_XNNyiH_P1xUQQu_TtGQ3pFPLMePbDJJh8rh1C-FKVpBZ4Bib6vGIg7f96HXAhaPwif0Ev__S_2BztU-E/s200/Guildmember_120x120.jpg" /></a><br /><div>At <a href="http://www.jeffbentonhomes.com/">Jeff Benton Homes</a>, we like to think we do a great job servicing our customers. But we also know, in times like these, it's what the <em>actual customer</em> says that sets a company apart from the rest. For that reason, we ask our customers to weigh in on their homebuilding experience through a third party source, Guild Quality. Guild Quality surveys each and every home buyer once, at the midway point of construction (after the pre-sheetrock walk-thru) and again six months after closing on their new home. I can't describe the excitement I feel each time I see the words "Customer Survey Response" in the subject line of an email. My first thought is "did they like us?"...and then "why or why not?". The answer comes easy. Each home buyer is asked a simple question that by itself is all-telling, "Would you recommend Jeff Benton Homes, Yes or No". I'm pleased to say today our recommendation rating is 92.7%. Are the surveys always positive? No, not always. I think any feedback is good feedback...it's how we continue to improve. So, for all of you who have responded to a Guild Quality survey, thank you! For up to the minute recommendation rating plus customer comments, go to <a href="http://www.guildquality.com/">http://www.guildquality.com/</a>. </div>Jeff Benton Homeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17099432715982480998noreply@blogger.com0
