ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The thoughtful notes from all of you who read my first book, Living with Pattern, encouraged me to write this book. Im grateful to be given the opportunity to work on a project like this that pushes me to learn and growand most of all to meet and work with so many amazing people.
First, I must thank my team, Gaby, Nellie, and Karen. I couldnt have done this without you! Gaby, your thoughtful consideration on the photo shoots and visuals was such a great support. Nellie and Karen, thank you for making sure everything ran smoothly while we were shooting and creating this book.
This book also wouldnt be what it is without the talented photographer Sharon Radisch. Sharon, your eye for composition and expertise with light made the spaces come to life. Collaborating with you on this project made me see differently. Your kindness and easygoing nature made the shoots such a pleasure. Thank you as well to Sharons wonderful assistant, Zack Ahern. Both of you are a dream to work with.
To my agent, Kimberly Perel, thank you for your support and belief in the stories I wanted to tell. Thank you for helping me get all of the ideas in my head down on paper and structured. Without you I never would have written one book, let alone two!
To the whole team at Clarkson Potter who worked so hard to make this book beautiful! Thank you especially to my editor, Amanda Englander, who believed in this book and made it a reality. Thank you to the designer Mia Johnson, who created the beautiful design for this book.
Thank you to my friends and family who have supported me with all of my creative endeavors, and especially to my parents, who always encouraged my love of art. To my husband, Steve, thank you for always being by my side and for believing in me.

WHAT IS COLOR?
THE ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
As a child, I loved looking for rainbows after a storm. I thought they were like something out of a fairy tale. I didnt understand exactly what they were, but they felt otherworldly.
To wield color properly and make it look beautiful in our homes, we must first understand exactly what color is. Is it even real? Or is it just a perception? Well, that depends on your definition of real. Color is not a solid entity but rather, as rainbows eventually taught me, a physical property of light. Each color travels along different wavelengths of light, creating a whole spectrum, and the portion of this spectrum that we can see with our eyes, and register with our brains, is visible light. Each of these colors, or wavelengths, operates at different frequencies. Yellows, reds, and oranges have the longest wavelengths, and we think of them as warm colors, while green, blue, and purple have shorter wavelengths, and we regard them as cooler colors. Later, well connect the idea of warm and cool colors to your home, but for now this helps explain that colors arent static or fixed; they change depending on the light (which is affected by time of day and the seasons) and what other colors surround them.
