Can you suggest a green paint for this family room?
Comments (24)Thanks for doing that Chloe! The first one is what I had in mind. I think something that says blue/gray/green (in that order) would work. Remember, it does not have to match the color in your carpet. Your eye will make up the difference. A place to start would be 689 Rhine River, 696 Pleasant Valley and things right around that neighborhood. If they're too vivid for you, jump to Quiet Moments 1563 and Gray Wisp 1570 and their neighbors....See MoreSo many greens, so little time.. I need color help with 2 rooms
Comments (2)I don't know if this helps but, I have cherry cabinets and I have BM Flowering Herbs in my kitchen which is a nice sage green and BM Baby Turtle in adjacent FM one shade darker on paint strip not quite an olive but definitely darker....See MoreCan I have a green living room AND dining room?
Comments (11)I'm a little confused. Is the first color you show in the LR, the one labeled 'before', is it the Olive Branch? It looks more blue green on my monitor. And the dining room is red right now? I don't think there's a thing wrong with having the two rooms that are connected by a single wall being the same color. And here's how I would play it out......If I'm not loving my DR anyway.......and want to change the color...........and already have the green paint..........then, all I've got to lose is a little time. Paint on into the DR, see how you like it after you live with it for a couple of weeks, then, if it's too much green, you can always go find something else. I do think getting rid of the sheers probably helps to de-formalize your LR. I finally went with plain jane chenille drapes a couple of shades darker than my wall to achieve some more comfortable feelings in my LR. I had fancy London shades in a yellow/blue toile on pale butter walls before. This is much more in tune with how we live. Your dining room set and antiques are very pretty, Cathrugg! Red Here is a link that might be useful: Wall color is BM Baby Turtle, and it doesn't look that golden in real life, more muted olive...See MoreToo many greens?? Pics
Comments (16)Wow, thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm glad I'm not crazy for thinking these greens don't go together. Sandyponder, I have been drooling over the pics of your porch. Just beautiful! I really like your suggestion of painting the table and chairs a brick red as the door is that color, and the swatch of material on the couch, that is being made into pillows is that color too. It could look really good. Jen9- I probably will lose the director's chair. I would love to find a narrow table to put in that space to set serving dishes on and stuff. Justgotabme, thanks for the compliment on the flowers. The car does smell really nice when I am driving to the market. SH, you are the best with your photoshopping! I agree, the black feels harsh. But I do like the darker brown that is similar to the tone of the wicker. It seems to go so much better than the blue green.That is what I had been thinking of doing and it is really great to be able to visualize it. And those aqua pillows look really nice too. I wouldn't have thought of that color. So, I am definately going to paint the table and chairs. SH, is it possible to do them in a brick red to compare to the brown? I don't have any idea of how to do it, so if it isn't, I completely understand....See Moretfm1134
