What are your thoughts on the white siding? Our contractor kept saying the siding should really match whatever color we pick for the garage door but we don't want an all white house.

Patricia Colwell Consulting - I agree the bed and nightstands don't mesh - the nightstands are more of the long term style I'm going for. We bought the bed a few years ago in haste, and it will be replaced eventually. Hoping I can make it work for a few years. So trying to decorate around the nightstands. I'm not sure what "tailored" bedding means - I'd love a lighter duvet cover. The pieces of wood are going as soon as we get a rug :)

Swatching colors side by side on the old color doesn't really help. You need need white poster board painted the colors you are looking at with a white edge around it. Then you move them around the room during different times of the day to see the color in the space. OR you can order from Samplize to try colors. I would try the Prussian Blue in your rooms as suggested. I think it is going to way to bright.

Everdebz - I don't like beiges or tans. I use to, until I learned NOT to be afraid of color. Whatever style the following is, I have to say that it is what I am now. lol This one is my favorite! You asked me about why I painted the outside of my door teal? That is where it all began. I saw a door painted that color and I loved it. My door leads from the kitchen to a large sundeck. I have an old wicker set that I am going to paint a very light teal color to coordinate with the door color. I already purchased material to re-cover the chairs. My son is an upholsterer so he is going to do them for me. (lucky me) Here is the pattern. The solid color for the seat, the floral for the backs and cushions. My patio sat is very similar to this brown set ( this is just a pic I found someplace) Here are the patterns for the cushions. The are all made now and ready for spring! I will also use Tidewater in my kitchen (someplace) with a darker subway tile. Still haven't selected the tile as yet but it will have to work with Tidewater. I want the colors on my deck to go with my kitchen. There is no entry into the kitchen. When you open the door, you're in my kitchen. lol Patio Set (patterns) Seat Cushions Back Cushions I hope this explains a little better why I painted my doors Really Teal. This is the tile that I picked. I love this one. What do you think with Really Teal and Tidewater? The walls will be painted Oxford White.
