painting walls!

[kaalee]

We're going to paint our living room soon, either this weekend or next. It's just a matter of narrowing down the color and moving all of the boxes and books and such out of the LR so we can wash, tape, and paint. Oh my

But I'm also a big fan of (b), and because that room has no overhead light and limited windowage, I think a brighter color in there may do some work for you and not be actively offensive.

It actually has three windows -- it's not the downstairs one we were all in, it's the one on the main floor. :)

No, I know, but I remember thinking that room was dark. Of course, it WAS dark (as in, after midnight) when we were talking about it, so there is that. :)) I don't remember, though - is there a window on the end wall, or just along that long wall?

I voted for a, but I painted a small room, an old bedroom with limited light on our first floor that we now use as a den/toy sanctuary, a buttery color like b. It looked really bright in the can and my husband was skeptical, but it looks great on the walls.

I voted for A first, but then after the results I changed it to F, because I really like F and I think that A has the chance to get overwhelmed by the burgandy/cranberry elements. A darker wall, especially if you have all that natural light, might be a better bet. That said, I love strong wall colors (my flat is cobalt blue) so I just like more color than most people.

I picked B. It is bright, but not too bright I think. It looks like a nice cheerful color, and that it could be very complementary to other colors that might appear in furniture or the floor.

I said C because I think even something that seems pretty light can really make a difference when it's whole-room-wide, but I also like B. However, please tonote,this is the darkest monitor in the WORLD, so I might actually like B better. :D
