The kitchen is painted and I'm not feeling it...
Comments (37)I agree with the clean-dirty shift especially in this case. I did post to live with it initially, but I also agree with the "acid" comment, somehow the strength or purity of it is "diminishing" your backsplash, unlike Mom2sethc's similar but "dirtier" green. I sometimes stay out of these color decisions because I have ways of thinking about color that are not easy to explain or popular, but one other way I look at color schemes are whether they are 'Paint-based" or "contents-based" and by choosing a strong color for the walls you shifted to a paint-based scheme, meaning that the wallcolor takes precedence over the other elements of the room. This can be done properly, but I think it often is notoo successful. If the furniture (or cabinets) are very neutral, there is a thought that almost any color (in theory) can work, yet I think when this happens the undertone of the neutral or the saturation of the paint are not taken into account and there is some loss to the overall outcome as a result....See MorePowder Room Professionally Staged and I'm still unhappy with it!
Comments (49)Hi extremely patient GW virtual decorators, I took rosewindÂs advice and found a few inspirational bathrooms and/or powder rooms. I love the last two bathrooms the best!! I found them on Rate My Space and what I like about them is their simplicity and clean lines. I included bathrooms with pedestal sinks and/or bead board with the same clean lines. This is my dilemma, aesthetically speaking, should your home be decorated in a cohesive manner? Can I paint and decorate this room as a separate entity of its own or should it blend with the rest of my home? What IÂd like to do is paint it either grayish blue or grayish green so that the molding and baseboards pop. IÂd then paint the mirror frame metallic silver and change the toilet paper dispenser and towel ring to match the mirror. IÂm still not sure what to use to store extra toilet paper. IÂve included pictures of my entry, dining and living room since theyÂre the rooms surrounding this one. The powder room is to the left of the stairs if youÂre facing it from the outside. All this trouble for one teeny tiny room. Thanks...See MoreBM Stone Hearth, anyone familiar with it?
Comments (5)I have it in my basement family room. Love it. I don't see the purple undertone but maybe that's because it's in the basement with mostly artificial light? Who knows but I think it's a great color. Sorry I'm away for the weekend and don't have pics....See MorePaint color for arch and built-ins? I’m stuck!
Comments (18)When planning a whole home color palette I often use multiple colors. I generally use a neutral in the living room and hallways and might bring it into other rooms (dining room, kitchen, laundry, bath or bedrooms, but can also do those rooms with color. It depends on what else is the same or different. If you have the same flooring and trim throughout you can change wall color and still create a feeling of cohesiveness. In my last home I had different flooring, but used the neutral on the ceilings throughout the house and that created the flow from room to room. The key is to carry the colors from room to room, so if you use the blue on the walls in the dining room you want the neutral in the area rug, chair upholstery, art or décor (centerpiece, bowls on the sideboard. . . ). In the adjoining living room where the walls are neutral I want some of the blue in the décor. You may want to add a 2nd accent color in the living room and have that color in the foyer. What you don't want is one room that is totally disjointed from the other rooms that are in the same sightline. You want to walk from one room to the next and have the same colors, but in different ratios. You can also use lighter and darker shades of the same colors. Here are a couple of examples: I love this example where someone flip flopped the trim and wall color in two adjacent rooms. There are so many ways to add color, you just need to decide which colors make your heart sing and how you want to incorporate them into your home....See MoreSirJohn
