Help me pick a green for my great room
Comments (13)I've always likes Mona's home. She has excellent taste. Have you tried painting a large poster board and taping it to the wall and leaving it a few days in all light? I narrow it down to a few colors and paint the foam board and move it around the room for a few days in the different lights of the day. I will tell you though. I have a terrible dislike to sage green. LOL. Also blue. It took me a LONG time to find a blue I liked for my laundry. I think it was my Mother's love for painting EVERTHING these two colors as a child and I swore to never paint anything these again. Ok so anyhow FF to my sister who just painted several room in her house Restoration Hardware Sycamore green. It looks *really* pretty. I would have her take a picture. She is so opposite of internet savvy it would be her mailing a poloroid to you in the mail. here are some I found online though FYI she had is mixed in Behr paint. She is a big fan of their formula. :) HTH. http://www.ohdeedoh.com/ohdeedoh/nursery-colors-2007-entries/entry-10-finns-soothing-sleeper-034984 http://lh4.ggpht.com/_sNLDFYYwT8w/Rp5YjlcTDRI/AAAAAAAAAEA/rcX6Jorklgw/Bedroom+3.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_0ohAJwZWZsA/SZx01Tw4XrI/AAAAAAAAAgA/1FgG64_pdlE/s400/IMG_1034.JPG http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2038/2218655286_436cd8f978.jpg?v=0...See MoreWhat blue goes with sage/olive?
Comments (14)I did olive and peacock in my #1 son's room when he was about 12 years old. It was a beautiful wallpaper with bamboo that formed checks in peacock and olive with a very white background. His furniture was campaign furniture and I matched the blue of the wallpaper and got a friend who owned a body shop to get the furniture painted for me. I put a faux white fur rug on the floor (he was the neat one) and framed his artwork that he did for his room in silver metal frames. That almost makes me cry, so many years ago and yet it was so beautiful and it is a page from a fantastic book that my family and I wrote. They love it when people ask "have you ever used "x" color in your decor?" It is hard for them to imagine a color I have not used in decorating at some point in their lives....See MoreBM Paint.

Comments (7)Here are two that I have used and gotten so many compliments on: Duron 5634D Herb Garden (Duron was acquired by Sherwin Williams and will know the color even though it's an older deck color). I don't understand why Duron was purchased they had the best paint in the world IMO. You could go back 5 years later and touch up with the same old can leftovers and it would match perfectly and you would NOT be able to see where you touched up at all. The colors were so true. I can't get Duron here anymore it's all Sherwin Williams which is an ok paint, but liked Duron so much better. Another color tried and true is Benjamin Moore Danville Tan HC91. Have gotten so many compliments on this color. It's just such a pretty color. Both of these colors are so much prettier on the wall than in the deck. You will love them! Sounds like they are both what you are looking for, not khaki at all. I have them both in my home....See MoreHelp! It's not easy being green!
Comments (35)Thanks for the compliments, everyone. I really love my rooms, and I don't find them dark at all, just subtle as auntjen said. I think I prefer the Old Salem Gray, which is funny because initially I disliked it. I finished the cutting in and lived with it for a week or two, and now it's my favorite. I do think I'm going to lighten up the proposed draperies and do something besides the dark russet paisley I posted in another discussion. I need thermal drapes given my single pane windows, but I'm planning to hang them high and wide to showcase the molding, and take them down in the summer for a change of pace. Bungalow_house, if you're looking for a recommendation, I like my SW Camelback for a butterscotch tan/squash yellow. It looks completely different from the last house (with white trim), but it looks very appropriate here. It changes quite a bit with different lighting; it shows the green undertones during the day and more of a peachy/squash color at night, so that may not work for you. It's not a very accurate photo, but here is a pic of the foyer in Camelback....See Morepng4eva
