help me! looking for right color to match bedspread
Comments (3)If you want a beige wall, I'd look at BM standish white If you want gray, look at BM white water Lenox tan is very dark and saps a lot of light out of a room...not a good choice for your bedding, IMO. You could also use any color on the wall as the bedding is completely neutral...you could go blue or red or green or yellow.

Comments (13)Thank you all for the comments! If I sound ambivalent it's because I have been hauling this out in the fall for 16 years, putting it on the bed, and cringing at my grunjee walls and lack of any coordination of colors in this bedroom, this quilt makes it all very evident that I have no skills as a home decorator! The spring/summer coverlet is much more "my" colors, it fits in with my other things on the walls, but I do like this bright/dark quilt too. I remember spending a very long time selecting all the fabrics and planning the design. I found a picture of a deer in a magazine and enlarged it without the aid of a copy machine, it's all an original creation and I feel like it's a part of me and also of "us" because it was the first Christmas present I gave to my husband, shortly after I gave it to him we got engaged. I am really scared of trying to paint the room and finding out it's all wrong. I once saw the paint and wallpaper that my sister picked out, thought "wow that is pretty stuff" but when it was actually in the room it was like Laura Ashley threw up all over the walls and I hated it. So I'm worried that is what will happen with this. Originally, I thought that green on the walls and beige ceiling, with wood flooring (or laminated wood-look floor?) with a headboard covered in leather or made of pine or cedar logs would look good. Maybe a red cover for the small couch or a chair, or other accents. But, I like the camel color for the walls too. I am afraid of too much brown though, if I do a leather headboard. In that case, the green might be a better choice. Is it OK to use a dark-ish green on the walls when there is a brighter green in the quilt? Maybe a good thing to do would be to buy a quart of each of two or three colors and paint the walls in there to see how I like the colors. I stopped at Home Depot today and was underwhelmed with the assistance and the choices of paint colors. I will go to a paint store either tomorrow or Saturday, thinking of going with Ben. Moore paint. Which brings me to my next decision. The last time I painted, I used a ceramic technology paint in a bathroom. I love the stuff but can't remember the brand I used. It is flat (which I want) and nice to work with....See MoreFluff post: What is your warmest winter coat?
Comments (70)I'm wearing a light almost "spring" jacket that's poly filled. My daughter bought it for me from The Bay years ago. It's one from their official Olympics line. I would love to own a Canada Goose coat, but the price is too much for me to go and get one. Besides, with our crazy weather, it can be -30 in the morning when you would need a Canada Goose coat, but by mid afternoon it can go over 0 and you look ridiculous in such a warm coat....See MoreWhat color bedspread with this carpet?
Comments (37)Adding a pull out rod above the window next to your bed with just one panel and the other windows with two panels would look really elegant with the Madison Park Chester bedding http://www.jcpenney.com/p/madison-park-chester-colorblock-7-pc-comforter-set/pp5004700098?pTmplType=regular...See More- 8 years ago
