Holly-Kay - Always nice to see you too:) Guess what - you were spot on with your blue comment. DD is off at camp, and I really wanted to get this done so I picked out the green colors I disliked least (I'm bad, I know, but I just wanted to get it done!); painted the ceiling the light Seahorse (very pale, but I liked it), then went to get the wall paint, chose two shades up for the walls (cheerful Wales Green). Had just arrived home with the wall paint, when DD called, and I confessed. Her reaction? Not green, Mom, BLUE!, same dark blue as another room in the house. AARGH. So I will need to paint the ceiling (again) and buy more paint. My fault entirely. The hardest part is CLEANING the room so that I can paint. Anyone in need of a gallon of Wales Green? Or even better, can my local store take the green and get to a desired much darker blue? sas95, kswl, peony4, thanks for the suggestions. mtnrdredux - yes, my goal was to present choices with which I could live, but I really didn't like any. (An apricot would be fun, but the blue she's picked will go well, I think). busybee3 - her first choices were incredibly dark and saturated greens and blues. Lots of samples up on the wall, but fortunately she did not like any. localeater - I have left a fan deck out but there's not a lot of interest! TheFoxesPad - great picture, love it! MayFlowers - you nailed it. The bureau does have purple in it; what a gorgeous combination that would be - the purple and green together. romy18 - thanks for the support!

The turquoise looks great! When my three big kids were little they shared a big attic room. Dtr was six and chose pepto bismol pink walls with raspberry pink woodwork, white curtains on her two windows. Five yo son chose sky blue walls with Royal blue woodwork, and three yo son chose Kelly green woodwork with lighter green walls. Their three windows had green, blue and white striped curtains. Sounds chaotic, but it was adorable. Their friends all wanted multi-colored rooms. I guess what I'm saying is they can be individuals in a shared space. Choose your paint(s) wisely! *Sheesh

Needing help with my NW facing bedroom. I recently just painted it Wedgewood Gray. Although I like it somewhat, its just too blue for my taste and I'm looking for something a little more muted/neutral with a bit of personality. I recently just bought this new bed down below with white linen curtains. I'm flexible on the bedding but looking for something neutral for that as well. My floors are cherry red. I also have a black wrought iron vanity, and a built-in closet with white shelves. New Bed Anyone have any success with these colors? Any other color recommendations based on my room description? I'm trying to go for something serene but sophisticated. And also trying to create a tropical, coastal, Mediterranean feel. Its been difficult finding a good color for a north facing bedroom because the lighting has the potential of making colors look either too light or too drab. Thanks!

that gray is very cool green would work too I'd say that's a question of your preference..and yes don't go too light, mid range or darker you can then bring all sorts of things to make it lighter/brighter if that's what you'd like art, bedding, you name it love the room, love the bed, and your plans
