Thanks! Way way way back when (five years ago?) I painted my room like a White Stripes album: the walls were bright red, the trim was gloss black, and most of the furniture was white. It was great, but I don't think that I could go with something so punchy again. Really, it only worked because I was living in my parents' basement.
After having chocolate and light blue walls in my room for the last 2.5 years, I figured it was time to go back to the red. Should look pretty well since I still have mostly white furniture, but also some blonde wood.
I (and Janice, I'm sure) would be more than happy to. It's even more fitting to do it in a house, since this C2 paint here lasts forever and thus it's more easy to get your money's worth out of it.
I'm looking forward to that little corner of the apartment the most. The bathroom colour should be really neat, because the bathroom mirror/vanity is absolutely huge and chrome. It should keep things from getting too heavy.
It's nice to find a place where they're proud of the fact that may of the pieces are the original ones from when it was built 35 years ago. (Although they are giving me all-new pipes/sink/toilet.)
Whoa, those are some fun names and some great colors (especially the red, but I'm a dark red kind of person). I'm curious to see your kitchen, though. Compared to the rest of your scheme, it doesn't seem as dynamic?
The kitchen was, I hesitate to say compromise, but a conscious decision? After having a bright orange kitchen last time, I think I'm ready for something a bit more neutral. I'm relying on the white cabinets and stuff to keep it from getting too uniform. As well, I found that the orange walls sometimes made the food look weird colours, which isn't so bad since I didn't eat in there, but still.
If I do end up finding it unbearably bland, I'm sure that it won't be too hard to find a replacement.
I should also mention that, since these are all scanned in instead of me just taking a picture of the chips, everything there is quite a lot deeper. There's a lot more brown richness (heh) in the kitchen colour than it lets on.

When I get a real house, can you help me choose paint? :)
