Three soft steps. The rest is Kellie's.

Step one — Show Kellie around your home.

From the couch, from the kitchen, from anywhere. Send as many photos and videos as you'd like — a slow walk-through, close-ups of the trim and cabinets, the rooms you've been thinking about, the corner that's been bugging you. Drag in your Pinterest board too. The more Kellie sees, the better she'll curate. Use the floating chat at the bottom of the page, the form on the homepage, or just email her at kellie@huetohome.com.

Step two — Kellie curates your color story.

Usually within the hour — and if you wake up in the middle of the night with an idea, send it. Kellie sends back a shortlist of three colors from Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, or Behr — picked specifically for your room's light, trim, and the mood you described. Plus an honest, line-item quote: walls, ceilings, trim, doors, prep, primer, coats. No surprises later.

Step three — Meet your painter.

Once you've approved the colors and the quote, Kellie hand-picks a single local painter and sends them the full plan. They arrive ready — with the right paint, the right tools, the right schedule. You approve. They paint. Paint comes from the store closest to your house (Kellie sorts it). Done by next weekend, in most cases.

What happens behind the scenes.

Every painter in our network has been personally vetted, insured, and reviewed by a real human. We don't list anyone we wouldn't have paint our own homes. Kellie keeps detailed notes on what each painter does best, so she can match the right one to your project — whether it's a delicate Victorian or a modern kitchen cabinet refresh.

What it feels like.

It feels like having a designer friend who actually understands paint — and a painter who actually understands you. No three-day wait for a quote you can't decode. No five strangers calling your phone. No watered-down "safe" colors. You stay in the conversation from the first photo to the final coat, and the room you end up living in is the room you've been picturing.
