A new home decor book, “Design Happy ─ Colorful Homes for the Modern Family” by Betsy Wentz, is all about colorful design choices.
I flip through a lot of home design books in this job. Frankly, most run together. Betsy Wentz’s “Design Happy ─ Colorful Homes for the Modern Family” stands out as the exception.
All the interiors featured in the book’s photo-filled 224 pages jump out for their bright, unapologetic use of color.Wentz, 49, grew up working alongside her mother, an interior designer who ran a design shop out of the family home. Wentz pursued a career in psychology and after working as a counselor, came back and partnered with her mentor mom in 2001. When her mother retired 10 years later, Wentz rebranded and launched her own studio near Pittsburgh.But back to the book.
I mean, this woman did not pause before covering an heirloom antique wooden grandfather clock ─ which let’s face it, few people really want in their homes anymore ─ with bright yellow citron lacquer paint, which made everyone in the family fall in love with it.You have a master’s degree in counseling psychology and were a behavioral therapist before starting a design firm. How do those two worlds relate?At first, I didn’t think there was any correlation, but in fact, I use that degree every day.
