Wall Color with my new bedspread - Help please!
Comments (7)Yes, i'm needing help with wall color for my bedroom and I want a color that will look well with my master bath. I only have a dresser and we are replacing it, but we haven't gotten any new furniture yet. I really like the dark espresso wood though, so i'm pretty sure thats the furniture that will be in there. Our floor is just the frieze tan carpet. I'm not good at this, so I don't have decorations. I thought if I found a bedspread that I liked, I could build off of it. Thanks!...See Morewhat if anything can be done with this bedspread?
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 More"Fluff" post: what do you keep by your kitchen sink?
Comments (35)I am definitely NOT a minimalist! In anything! A window is over my kitchen sink, there are a couple of folk art paper mache sculptures there, about 7 or 8 inches tall. A hen and rooster ceramic figurine that spent many years on my mother's kitchen window sill, a "Thank you Mom" mug my son gave me a couple of months ago, and some ivy cuttings rooting in a glass jar of water. I can see out, over these things, over the patio and into the back yard. The left portion of the sink has a dish drainer in it, there is one of those drying mats on the left counter, and the coffee pot is on that side, too. The end of the cabinet above the left counter has a wooden "A house is not a home without a dog" plaque my sister made for me many years ago. The right side is where I stack the dirty dishes after a meal. Farther over is a selection of often used various sizes of Ziplock plastic containers. The end of the upper cabinet on that side has a framed needlepoint sign, "Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most." Wa-a-a-a-y too cluttered for most of y'all! I can admire pictures of beautiful uncluttered kitchens (or any room), but I would not be comfortable or happy living in one. Different strokes for different folks, right?

Comments (26)Glass door on separate shower in master bath, no shower in DD's old bath - just an antique footed tub with a hand shower. Downstairs tube has a shower and it has a cloth liner and the shower curtain is a white pique one from Matouk. I like very simple for shower curtains and it is always folded back unless drying. A curtain across the tub reminds me of Psycho!...See More- 8 years ago
