Ellen Kennon Design

Ellen Kennon Full Spectrum Paints are the paints you should use for the rest of your life! We have now done three houses in nothing but Ellen's colors and paint and all of our friends have become convinced that we are expert colorists! When we sold our first home the buyers mentioned the paint colors as the thing they loved most about the home. This last project was a full-home build. Our builder was initially confused at our insistence on using our own paint source but in the end said "About those paints... there really is something very nice and different in them we can't put our finger on." I have always struggled visualizing the right colors for our rooms and even when we have found a color we liked, it either went flat or took on variations we didn't like when the light changed. Ellen's paints take on the most gorgeous hues as the lighting changes throughout the day. Even more, Ellen is kind, patient and easy to work with as she has the ability to intuit what colors suit not only our home but our family. Although all her colors work well together, her consultations in helping you settle on colors is invaluable. She worked with us remotely throughout our project and responded quickly to several last minute timeline changes and requests. The paint product she uses is also exceptional. Just to give you an example of one color she helped us choose, our kitchen and family room is "Dove". Everyone who walks in the door wants to know what color it is. It's a beautiful warm, inviting gray that suits the current cool color trends without being that stark cold gray I see in so many homes right now. My work-at-home husband affectionately refers to Ellen's paints as "magic paint" and feels they definitely make a difference in his work environment and job. I feel honestly that the bedroom colors make a difference in my children's sleep. I highly recommend checking out her "individual colors and suggested uses" page on her site. Thanks, Ellen, for making our house OUR home and being the simplest decision of our home build.

Ellen is sensational! She was phenomenal at taking all our half-developed ideas and synthesizing them into a coherent, beautifully expressed design scheme that fit beautifully with our home's traditional aesthetic. She is a genius with color, and a genius at coming up with clever solutions for maximizing space in practical, attractive, ways. Great with accessories and furnishings, too.

Working with Ellen is such a joy! She's energetic, focused, fast, and incredibly talented. I just opened a wonderful and unique events venue/healing center called The Guru - and my vision was to create a sacred space that raised the vibration of all who entered. To a person, people say "I love the way this feels, this place has great energy, I feel so calm when I come in here." Ellen worked her magic and revealed my vision and gently kept me on track when I was in danger of going off the rails! Her paints are healing and bring so much balance and have made all the difference in this very unique and wonderful space. She turned a 1920s car mechanics garage into a loving, beautiful, serene, and - yes - sacred space, transforming it, yet retaining its character. Could never say enough to endorse her!!
