"It's the constant story of the cobbler's children have no shoes, " says Mozen. "We can never spend the time to take our guys away from their work to get our space completely renovated - so we start areas and don't always get to finish."

Using the Sherwin-Williams app, she took a picture of the area, and plugged in colors she was considering before finalizing her paint choices. In the end, she chose Koi Pond, Sealskin and Peppery.
