Walk into any home store, and by October 1st, you are greeted with holiday decorations. Many of us have a hard time wrapping our head around the sights and sounds of the upcoming season that early. Didn't summer just end? Yet before we know it, we will be scurrying around shopping, baking and decorating. Homes will be filled with wonderful aromas and holiday decor. For many, however, the outside will pale in comparison to what awaits inside.
If you are ready to make your home the envy of all who drive by without any of the hassle, then you need the experience and expertise of Clear and Colorful. “We work through our designs to bring you joy and tradition and memories for years to come,” said Patrice Patrice, owner and head designer for Clear and Colorful.
Patrice, with more than eighteen years of interior design experience, began her career in New York. After working for a commercial firm, she started her own business in 1994. When clients approached her to do the holiday lighting for their homes in Atlantic Beach and the Hamptons, another side of her business was launched. Patrice spent two years researching and perfecting her lighting designs.
When Patrice, her husband, and four children relocated to North Carolina, they rebuilt the same concept that was perfected in New York. “I was thinking of using my talents in different ways here, but sometimes life has a way of choosing for us,” said Patrice. “When we had our prior employees flown down to install our own Christmas lighting, we were approached by neighbors and friends as to where to get these products. And so it continues!”
