“What I love about Color Rules is that Susan Jamieson is talking to everyone who wants to make their home welcoming and reflective of their style. Even with the word ‘Rules’ in the title, Susan assures us we can make these decisions ourselves — we don’t have to have an expert at our side. We can lean into her guidance and be confident that our choices will make sense and achieve the harmony we desire. This is an invaluable reference.” - Paula Chambers ★★★★★
