We have pine (wood) ceilings and oak (wood) floors and trim...and windows and doors. Ceiling is 18 foot in her room. Her room is a Paris theme....
Is there anyway someone could post some paint colors they think would look good in her room?
I carried fabric samples to Lowe's when I picked out paint and I was still way off! (aurgh)
Here's a picture of Lily on Katelyn's bedspread.....I can take pictures of the room later. Attachment 158872
ALSO,
For my bedroom, I was thinking about the robin's egg blue color...I love that color and it looks so good with black picture frames, etc against it....BUT I didn't know if it would look good or not. I have the Oak wood floor and wood trim and oak doors and windows and my bedding is a tan suede (which can be changed)...OH, the ceiling is an offwhite....do you think this color would look good?
AND,
My kitchen is currently a light sage like green w/ a darker green speckled counter top/tile. I am thinking of repainting it some sort of darker tan. The hallway would be painted the same color too (as they tie in together).
So........anything "country" color.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP????
I see colors that I think would look good......but then they don't. And some that I like, I think they might be too dark......so I don't get.
Also, what type of paint is needed?? Satin, gloss, semi-gloss, etc. The boy at the paint counter at Lowe's was NOT very helpful!!!  |
Jenn,
Your home looks so pretty and very cozy.
I am having the master bedroom painted this Sun. I also wanted a Taupe
color and had a hard time choosing. I only like Benjamin Moore paint however
and they now make a sample paint that comes in a small jar for 3.50 ea.
It's a great idea because you can apply the paint to the wall and live
with the color for a couple of days until your sure it's what you want.
I picked out a taupe color. It's called "Stonehouse". My new comforter
is blues and taupes and the ajoining bathroom is blue and taupe so I hope
this turns out nice. I like the samples on the wall so I hope I like it when
it's done. Have no choice really, I'll have to like it. LOL
I like eggshell finish. It has a little sheen to it but is not glossy like semi-gloss. It's can be washed also.
Hope that helps alitlle.
