Kitchen is a deep olive. Living room and dining are a near Federal Red. Stairway is a custard, also with white trim. My Master BR is a deep gold, also white, Baths are deep grays/blues with white trim. Other bedrooms are blues/creams. All trim is white. |
We do have similiar tastes. I painted my bedroom and baths a blue/gray also.
I like the custard idea. Right now there is an ugly brick wall in what used to be the living room. Next year I'm going to have that whole wall ripped down, I want the whole room taken back to the studs. New drywall. And I am gong to have the floors done with wood. Pergo at least. And I want that fireplace converted back to wood burning, and I want a formal mantle around it so I can hang Nana's mirror.
There is nothing like a real fire. In my last house we used to do that every Christmas. I'd turn off all the lights in the house. Only the tree would be lit. And I'd start a fire in the fireplace. My daughter and I would sit on the couch and just talk. Or not. Sometimes we'd just sit there. In the glow of the fire, in the light of the tree.
I won't be the same having the fireplace in the dining room, but it will be close enough.
