Q: Dear Ann,
My master bath is a lilac mist, almost a looks like pale blue depending on the light. My master bedroom is painted in a deep burgundy, almost brown shade and I would like to lighten it up with a color that will blend or complement the bathroom. What are my best choices?
Best,
Kim E., Medina, OH

I recently discovered a Minneapolis neighborhood that was being transformed. The atmosphere of renewal was so impressive that I wanted to get involved. Volunteering with a team from A Brush With Kindness (ABWK), we worked on an old home in St. Paul, Minnesota in need of some TLC--and tender loving care is exactly what it received.
