At seven minutes after one in the morning on June 7, I turn 45. Three hours earlier this year as I’m in Toronto this week.
I am having such a great time with everyone in my True Colour Expert Workshop on Day one! Here is the most adorable post from Claire Jefford, a decorator and stager I just met today.
Another post you should read is this Architects Guide to Color. Two readers in a row today, one email after another, emailed this link to me so I had to share it with you!
Here are just a few things I’d like for my birthday! I need them to hang on the jewelry hooks in my new orange custom closet.
Hope you are having a wonderful week!

Happy Birthday, Maria! It’s my daughter’s birthday, too. Hope you have a wonderful day full of blessings 🙂
Happy,happy Birthday, Maria-what a fabulous year you are having, being a new home owner is the greatest gift you gave to yourself!
Happy Birthday, Maria! I recommend you buy those necklaces for yourself. 🙂
Happy birthday!
Hello Maria,
It just seems right to jump in to wish you a very very Happy birthday.
Excited about your house, the colours you choose and your art pieces – I really really love them – big, colourful and bold. I can’t even grab the colours you mention in India but hey its eye candy for the eyes and learning anyways.
People who celebrate birthdays on June 6 must not ever age, because you do not look much older than 25 and my husband, who shares your birthdate, also looks much younger than he actually is.
Hope you had a fabulous birthday, Maria!
So sorry, Maria, I guess I just don’t read well after midnight.
Happy Birthday to you, TODAY!
Happy Birthday Maria, have a wonderful day, 3 hours earlier…
I feel like its a new day for me too. I just found out today after over 50 years of spelling my name, I have been spelling it wrong, weird or what… (this is stuff you find out when you go for a birth cert. & passport!)
Regards from, Carol Anne (now with an e…) ps my mom said to me today, didn’t I ever tell you it is spelled with an e?
Either way it’s a great name 🙂 Maria
ah, thanks…
Happy 45th Maria!

Happy, happy birthday, Maria!
Everyone needs to get at least one big and one little gift on their birthday. Your new house is your magnificent big one. I see the little one hanging in your custom orange closet soon – those beautiful, colorful necklaces.
Have a very happy “New Year”.
Happy Birthday Maria,
Good health, lots of happiness and Love to you. Enjoy your day

Wishing you the happiest of birthdays!
Happy Birthday Maria and wishing you many returns!
Wishing you the happiest of birthdays, Maria! I know you will make it a wonderful day!
I knew you had to be a Gemini from that moving post about yourself at New Years…I am too!!! I have a feeling those Hermes necklaces run a pretty penny, but think how nice they would look hanging up…plus you get the great box! I’d bake you a cake myself if I lived nearer, so I hope you get to celebrate tonight. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday!! Wish you all the best
What a great way to celebrate your special day Maria with your new home and all. Happy Birthday!
Happy belated birthday, Maria. Congratulations on all your life’s accomplishments and thanks for sharing. As always, you are still my #1 Blogger.
Happy birthday, Maria! I enjoy your blog.
Happy belated! I just turned 31 on the 3rd so a little behind you. I keep saying my 40s will be where it’s at since my 30s are likely going to be about breastfeeding and diapers and no fun. Plus I need those extra years to be as good as you at picking out undertones in grey! Thanks for being brave and telling us your age too;)
Happy birthday Maria. Here’s wishing you bright and happy things coming your way.
It’s so nice to see you have a beautiful home AND a studio.
Happy Birthday – Many Happy Returns – and All Good Things in Abundance.
From one Gemini girl to another, happy birthday!! I analyze to a fault just like you! Maybe I should speak for myself, maybe you don’t consider it a fault. 😉
I’m lovin’ following your house remodel and am so excited for you. All the best, Maria!
Happy Birthday Maria! All the best for the year and God Bless!
Happy Birthday from one of your future color students!
Happy Birthday-a bit belatedly. I beat you do it and turned 45 on June 5th. The 7th is my younger brother’s birthday. I hope your 46th year is wonderful.
