Please help me choose a wall color for my home office!
Comments (15)kristinamaria and teacats, you are on the same wavelength. I think I will do that... find the fabric first. And teacats, I absolutely LOVE THAT FABRIC. Seriously, I LOVE it!! I am going to go back to that site in a minute and see about a sample. Thanks for linking that. I luv my GW friends. :o) You all are so helpful. Each person has something to share that I had not thought of/had not realized. Thanks for sharing all of your advice. I'm going to find the fabric and see if I can get my green in the fabric, and then I think I'll go with whatever blue the "experts" have put in the fabric. I'm just not the best with paint colors. Thanks! ;o) mrsrose, I am headed out the door in a few minutes, but will post a few kitchen shots on here later today for you to see. Thanks for the compliments from you and lindybarts too. ;o)...See Moreplease help me choose a color for the outside of my home
Comments (6)Sorry, I thought the siding was tan from how the picture looks on my monitor. I only meant navy blue for the door, not the siding, which is an easy fix if it fades. The only other color I can see going with your brick other than white or tan is maybe a very pale, soft grey-green? Or maybe a pale grey-blue?...See MoreHelp me choose a paint color for my home.
Comments (39)Sorry, just cannot understand the all-out negative attitude on painted brick. Yes, certainly older (and some newer) brick is quite lovely and shouldn't be painted, but hasn't anyone seen the hideous beige/brown or pink/brown brick? Some brick just isn't pretty, people! Lots of houses, at least in the South, from the 60s and 70s had that yucky brick, and they can really be brought into the 21st century with paint. That said, Melanie's brick isn't ugly, but I do think painting it would make for a more cohesive and uniform facade....See MorePlease help me with paint color for my housing exterior!!
Comments (9)Yes, that is a very peachy orange color. I first thought neutral bone/beige but your photo with the lower stone section seems to have a lot of red tones, even in the darker brick. I'm no expert so i would be relying on sample cards, in various tones, and taping them against the brick to view. Some might obviously not work but those that do might be worth a sample pot painted onto large sheets and go through the process again......See MoreRelated Professionals
