Husband and I took a couple of weeks (maybe even more) trying to decide on what colors to paint a couple of our rooms. We’d really like to get the living room painted and decorated. It’s been empty for two years now. We’re in no rush but it would be nice to get our house a bit more organized and cozied-up.
The thing with organizing is that I have a hard time deciding where things should go and how to group things. I thought our study was messy before but now it’s even more messier and when things are messy, I can’t think. Anyway, we moved things around in the study and then realized that we wanted the room painted before we fully organize it. See, I don’t even know what I’m trying to say here.
This is our paint samples in the study. The starred color is what the room will be painted in. The red is the accent color which will go on one wall. Husband and I can’t decide which wall…actually, we just disagree.
This is the paint samples in the living room. The accent is a dark expresso/mocha color that we’ll use as an accent in the hallway. The starred color is the same color shown in the study. It looks completely different in this room. Husband loves this color. I like the runner up color. It makes me happy because it has a yellowishness to it that makes me calm and happy. We might use the runner-up color as the main color in the powder with the the red as the accent. Husband painted the samples close to the trim because he wanted to be able to see the contrast. 🙂
