With a New Year comes a new selection of palettes from interior decorators to help your home interior be more vibrant and bold. Local Michigan painter provides tips on what this years hottest trends will be.

Sterling Heights, MI (PRWEB) January 16, 2013

This year there are plenty of new color palettes available from painting companies. Last year was a year of bold colors. The colors from this year tend to be a bit more somber. When combined with the right colors, though, these can really pop. Combining blues and yellows and greens, for example can make a truly stylish and unique design inside your home.

Over all, Michigan painting contractors are seeing a lot of demand for the primary colors this yearred, blue, and yellow. Red is a bold color that can be romantic, especially when the lights are turned low and shadows play against the red hues. At the same time, red can help to enhance energy and emotion in a room, providing a quaint, rich feeling in the rooms where that is the primary color. Reds must be balanced out, however, and this is most often done with much lighter colors, such as a stark white.

Blue colors in paint this year have taken a turn toward lighter hues such as Stratton Blue, Frank Blue, Calypso, or Waterfall. These help promote a calming energy in the room. They also provide a more open or spacious feel. With yellow tones, both bright and more toned down hues are popular, but they are balancedboth with lighter and darker colors. These tend to promote positive feelings and energy within the room, and are popular partially because of how many different color combinations they will work with.

As a lighting buyer, I am bombarded with proposal from every kind of lighting manufacturer and importer you can imagine. Other times my research has lead me to seek out vendors that are not easily available, but are worth the effort when the product is just that good. The timing was very fortunate when I discovered SLV Lighting. The line was on display at Light + Building in Frankfort Germany, just as they were opening their US operation in Florida. LED Outdoor lighting was more readily available in Europe at the time, but even just a few years ago SLV saw the trend and was quick to react for the US market.

Scholarships are beneficial to financially struggling college students, and alumni are common sources of the money needed to create scholarships.

Michael Chu, Cal Poly Pomona alumnus, is one of these alumni. Chu recently made a donation to CPPs landscape architecture program.

As a 1977 Landscape Architect graduate, Chu has achieved great success in his life and is looking to give back to the college that provided his hands on education.

Im grateful to Cal Poly Pomona, said Chu in an article on Polycentric. They accepted me as an out-of-state student, gave me a good education [and] allowed me to become licensed here in Hawaii as a professional landscape architecture.

Chu was surrounded by successful landscape architects who graduated from CPP during his entry-level junior draftsman position at a landscape firm in Honolulu.

In my mind, Cal Poly Pomona was the place to go, said Chu. And it still is.

Chu and his wife Yetta have set up The Michael S. and Yetta L.C. Chu Endowed Scholarship. The scholarships will be given out after Chu and his wifes deaths, resulting in all of their money being given to the University.

CPPs Director of Planned Giving, Daniel Wood explained that endowed scholarships are the best kind because they offer the most money for the students. People who give during their lifetime do not have as much to offer because they have a need for it. Chu realized this when creating his plan for giving back and wanted to give back as much as possible.

When not living anymore, you dont need your funds, said Wood. Like people, for example, who dont have children are a very important subgroup for us. Mr. Chu falls in that category. I have worked here for three and half years and a consistent message that our donors give us is they want to give back for the students best interest. This goes for both the alumnus and non-alumnus.

CPPs Director of Development for the College of Environmental Design Carrie Geurts said she is grateful for alumnus like Chu who realize the importance of giving back.

Sahabat Alam Malaysia (SAM) research officer S. Mageswari feared that the animals' habitat would be affected by land clearing taking place on a 358ha site near the area.

"During a research conducted on the Pedu forest with the World Wide Fund for Nature two years ago, we spotted a plain-pouched hornbill.

"We feared that the habitat of the hornbill, which is an endangered species, would be destroyed by the development works," she told the New Straits Times.

The land clearing was done to make way for a mango plantation to promote agro-tourism in the state. Mageswari said the absence of the animals would affect the ecosystem in the area.

"SAM is not choosing sides as we will not gain anything by doing so. However, we strongly believe that the state government should consider relocating the project."

State Wildlife and National Parks Department director Rozidan Md Yasin said the animal habitats would be affected by the land clearing.

It was reported that around 12,000 people who were taken for a tour at the site were shocked by the deforestation. The land clearing also irked 60,000 padi farmers, who urged the state government to scrap the project, which they claimed would affect their yield.

A Forestry Department spokesman said the project developer had been instructed to ensure that the land clearing did not trigger soil erosions and landslides.

On claims that rivers in the area had become murky and polluted, he said the department had taken water samples for testing.

But on top of the security an HSA home warranty affords homeowners, HSA works to provide assistance to real estate professionals by offering partnerships in which they will not only provide warranties, but also help improve branding, media and marketing.

Tracy Hutton, president of CENTURY 21 Scheetz, partnered with HSA more than eight years ago and believes her ongoing partnership removes stress from the agent and strengthens the client relationship by eliminating risk. If one of our buyers closes on a home and finds an issue with somethingthe furnace or the ACand they have a home warranty in place that we recommended, they are so grateful, says Hutton. It really adds to the value of what the agent has delivered to the clientits problem solving, and it takes away a lot of stress from both the client and the agent.

However, HSA does more than alleviate stress from the agent; they also help keep them afloat in a world teeming with new technology trends. For instance, the HSA Master Agent Program provides real estate professionals with a one-on-one session with an experienced marketing consultant and tech coach, exclusive webinars, social media assistance and marketing materials.

Bill, who is also a national speaker for real estate agents and brokers, believes his partnership with HSA has helped grow his business. He also notes that he has seen success using HSAs one-on-one consulting sessions, where a coach helps review current marketing strategies, helps to define new ones, and works to increase a companys social media presence, search engine optimization and mobile marketing.

HSA also sends out a newsletter which provides agents with updated marketing strategies, social media tips and trending tech topics, helping agents remain as savvy as possible.

The company saves us time, it saves us money and it helps our communication. And if we forget to do it in advance, it allows us to get the warranty on the spot, concludes Bill.
