Custom Color and Art

We THOUGHT we had good eyes for color. Until the shade that looked gray in the store turned out to be a ghastly baby blue I can only describe as "haunted nursery." After all the time and expense of buying and painting we were so unhappy! But then we called Nathalie to help us out. I'm so glad we did. I only wish we would have called her FIRST! She was so calm and knowledgeable about picking color. DIdn't try and force her vision on us, she worked with ours. Helped us understand how all the elements of outside color and light and floor color all play into how we perceive color on the wall. Our dining room and living room went from haunted nursery to Architectural Digest luxe all because of Nathalie's help. Oh, and she helped us find an AMAZING rug as well, not only in a perfect color palate but in a size you can't find anywhere (7'6" x 9.6"?! Who has ever heard of such a thing? This woman works miracles. Seriously.) Such a sweetheart and pro. Highly recommend!

As a design profession myself, I can highly recommend Nathalie and Custom Color and Art. Nathalie's talents go well beyond having a great eye for color, she is an exquisite painter, muralist and faux art finisher. I can't begin to describe the extent of her skills--check out her website and be inspired!

I was struggling with the replacement/rebuild of the very steep and prominent roof on my little 1924 french cottage. Nathalie took the pain out of the process and made it fun. She picked a charcoal gray high definition shingle for the roof and encouraged me to keep the period eyes-brows, explaining how they broke-up the large expanse of the roof and how the curves matched the curve over the door and was welcoming to visitors. Using the crumbling remains , new eyes-brows in metal were custom made, receiving 4 coats of a grey metal paint Nathalie picked to go with the shingle color. Love them! After the roof was done she looked to freshen the house colors tying the new roof and property all together. The warm green/grey base color of the house with white trim Nathalie liked, feeling it was a good neutral. The shutters and door color is where she then focused starting with the shutters. I was so glad that first she wanted me to see with and without shutter pictures, opening my eyes to new possibilities and answering that stay or go question I’d always had about them, definitely staying and she agreed. She choose a rich charcoal gray, twilight black (BM), for the shutters, it is perfect. Played first with a fun yellow which I liked, but the richer color felt like it belonged with the new roof. Last was the door, red, Historic Red (BM). Makes me smile every day. Nathalie is a gifted and talented artist with an eye for color and design. I am very thankful to have found her.

My sister recommended Nathalie to me as I was torn about what color to use to paint the interior of my home. My husband and I have always picked out colors on our own so this was our first experience hiring a color consultant. Truthfully, we had no idea that such a thing existed. We were looking to use paint to brighten up our rooms and had couldn't find one simply looking at paint swatches. When we hired Nathalie, she created a custom blend color for our home. We didn't realize that this was even possible. The end result was the perfect color and knowing that it was created especially for our home that complimented our new hardwood floors, our artwork and furniture. I highly recommend hiring Nathalie as you would be pleasantly surprised at just how much she can transform your room. We were totally blown away and will never paint another room without her insight beforehand again.

Rarely does a client have the services of such an excellent artist. Nathalie Tierce brings to her work not only outstanding skills, but clarity of vision, combining them to achieve exactly the effect required by her client. I was fortunate to receive the benefits of her abilities as she created reproductions of real-life items so perfectly that, upon viewing, the human eye is unable to detect that the repro is not real. During the time she worked at my job site, her attitude and conduct were respectful and professional. I look forward to our next collaboration.

Nathalie provided a full gamut of services for me in the completion of my home construction and Decor, from color and design consultation to intricate custom stencil decoration, murals, and faux painting elements. She has limitless artistic skill, creative ability, and professionalism. It was a joy to work with her over an extended period of time and we were extremely happy with the results!

I commissioned Custom Color and Art to create a unique portrait of our 5 year old son. We did not want the traditional type of wall hanging. We wanted an original piece of art with our son as the subject. My jaw dropped by how amazing this portrait turned out. It was hip, fresh, contemporary, and at the same time very sentimental. Every time someone walks in our craftsman home it is the topic of conversation. I loved it so much, I had another copy made for my parents. It was the perfect Christmas gift! Thank you Custom Color and Art! The Best Family

The first project with Custom Color and Art was two years ago. My husband and I wanted our master bedroom and bathroom to feel quiet, calm, peaceful yet be sophisticated. Our master bedroom list included: wall color, carpeting, reupholstering the bedroom sofa and bergiere chair, purchasing and installing soft shades on 7 windows as well as draperies and drapery rods, installing lighting (chandelier). There were bedding details: duvet cover, bed shams, skirting, accent pillows. The master bathroom list included: wall color, updated bathroom fixtures from gold to nickel, updated shower door. First and foremost, Nathelie Tierce's knowledge of color is unparalleled and second-to-none. She was able to deliver many choices of color to fit our needs. Next, Nathalie and I sat down and made a plan of action that encompassed everything my husband and I wanted to accomplish along with due dates. That's pretty much it! Everything went according to plan. I was super impressed with Nathelie's creative repurposing, we had the gold bathroom fixtures replated with nickel instead of purchasing new bathroom fixtures which saved tons of $$. Working with Nathalie was an unstressful pleasure! To sum it up.....it is now two years later. One project has led to many others and I haven't done one without the services and help of Custom Color and Art. In the past, I've made many costly decorating mistakes. Since using Nathalie's services, I saved money by making better and well-thought through choices...no more mistakes...no more unhappy results...no more re-dos! SOME of the projects include: Color: color consultation and color selection for every room in our home. We love the colors. Carpeting and Area Rug: consultation in color, style, and size. Lighting: consultation in color, style, selection, positioning Art: Nathalie Tierce, has created two stunning large pieces for our home. It is without hesitation that I wholeheartedly recommend Custom Color and Art to my friends!

Nathalie is one of the most lovely people you will ever meet. She has a vast array of knowledge and experience, listens intently, considers the needs and desires of everyone involved, and is mindful of your budget. Her precision and attention to detail is amazing. I have consulted with her multiple times over the last 10 years. She has brought beauty and balance into our home and helped us avoid many pitfalls along the way. Nathalie is a dream to work with.

Nathalie has helped us tremendeously with both our two business locations and our home. Her impeccable taste and sense of stylistic direction was invaluable in complimenting the artistic brand of our company. We were so impressed with her work for our businesses that we hired her to help us redesign the interior of our home, where she worked on our living room, dining room and master bedroom. Nathalie went above and beyond our expectations and was always available when we needed her advice. Throughout the entire process we felt that we finally met someone who not only listened to what we wanted but also helped us create an image with custom blends of paint colors that we never could have imagined on our own. To sum it up, we couldn't be happier with her energetic and inspiring approach, not to mention her very reasonable rates!
