Thanks so much for responding. Does anyone have a suggestion for an ashen green? I don't know what that is. hoyamom - I never thought of blue for the ceiling. That's sounds interesting. I had thought about a gray/blue for the walls before we brought in the green chair. I really like the combination of blue and tan. lindybarts - any suggestion from you is like a pearl of wisdom. I LOVE your house! I think I may have to do a larger sample of Svelte Sage o the walls. I don't think it is too gray. Actually, in our DR it is a very nice green. However, we had a green bedroom in our old home and I fell out of love with it pretty quickly. It was more of a blue green, though (with a differnt comforter, etc.) I'm just afraid of painting a color that I'm not in love with. I don't want to be unhappy with my choice in two months. I already have painter's remorse in other areas of my home. And since we are hiring painters for this, I feel a little more pressure to pick the "right" color. Any thoughts on Svelte Sage for the walls with a beige on the ceiling so the crown would show up more?

You said you looked in the Gallery, which specific colors appealed to you? I love the rendering of Decatur Buff in Newhomebuilder's pictures above, and the Shelbourne Buff by Msrose . My own bedroom has Laura Ashley Gold #3 and it's a great color because it goes with so much. But I like the look of it better during the day, so if your room is already very dark, you might like something more browned, rather than a color that becomes more intense at night. Red

delilah66 it's actually a monitor stand I constructed out of a speaker stand haha. Although my monitor is fairly big for a computer monitor (29'') it's actually very slim and light so thats why the stand can hold it I think. I does wobble a little only if u bump it. Otherwise for me it is fine. Yea I wanted to get this project done ASAP so I can get back to studying : )

It's helpful to start with art, or bedding (something you love). There are many thousands of paint color tones but very few pieces of art or fabrics that will fit all criteria (size/shape/colors/style/budget/subject matter etc). Here's an example of art and bed shams that were selected first, then wall paint second. Have fun with it! I hope this helps?
