Hi, I'm Maria

I'm the creator of The Killam Colour System® and a pioneer of virtual colour consulting since 2010. I've trained thousands of design professionals and guided more than 10,000 colour projects. Here, I teach homeowners and design professionals how to choose timeless finishes and decorate the home they actually want to live in.

There’s something about summer that makes you see your home differently. You’re outside more, you’re noticing the exterior from the garden, and the longer evenings actually give you time to think about what you want to change — rather than just rushing past it every morning.

Which also makes it the best time to have a colour plan in place… before your project gets going and you’re under pressure for selections.

Right now my Summer Sale includes two ways to get that plan:

If you want to learn how to plan your exterior using the Killam Colour System, the Exterior Colour Masterclass is 50% off.
It’s the complete process for choosing an exterior palette you’ll love. And you’ll get 3 free months inside my membership to get the support you need.

Want a perfectly coordinated plan made for you? The Exterior Colour Packages are 10% off. My eDesign team will put together a balanced colour and finish selections specific to you and your home that you can act on straight away.

Either way, the goal is the same: start this summer with a plan, so every choice you make brightens the way you feel in your home.

In my eDesign department, we have had the joy and privilege of helping hundreds of homeowners transform and create their exteriors.

Today I’m sharing a round up of beautiful and inspiring eDesign exterior transformations.

From Blue to Green Exterior Colour: Before & After

This is a very happy eDesign client who hired us to choose a new paint colour for her house.

She had a very pretty house but wanted a change because her house was looking too similar to all the neighbour’s.

A Beautiful Home Starts with the Right Advice: Stunning eDesign Befores & Afters

Valerie has a lovely house a top a slope that needed a new metal roof colour and a fresher body and front door colour. She  consulted first on those and came back to us when it was time to also update the siding with our Essential Exterior Palette eDesign consultation.

A Stunning Historic Exterior Before & After

My dear eDesign clients had worked hard to restore the home to its original charm with careful attention to making historically appropriate selections. And finally, they wanted to give the exterior an update with a new cedar roof, fresh paint and new cobblestone pavers prior to selling.

Sometimes the “before” is just a drawing. It’s so fun to see it go from concept to a beautiful home!

See how it turned out.

eDesign Exteriors: Finding the Perfect Colour: Before & After

This post is a double header. A sweet house was looking a little tired in all white. As I’ve said many times recently, while white exteriors are technically timeless, in the context of the current black and white modern farmhouse trend, they are looking… well, boring.

And a beautiful Tudor that needed an elegant update.

See how they turned out and read the post.

Don’t miss out, the Summer Sale is the biggest of the season!
