PAINT time!

So now that I've had some time to arrange, re-arrange, and re-arrange my house again, I'm finally going to tackle the paint choices. The delima's are as follows: a)the home does not belong to me and I am not purchasing the paint so it must be subtle enough to appeal to my 70-year-old landlord; b) I have a lot of dark furniture and a minimal amount of space so I want the colors to bring in light; and c) I want it to help simplify a space that desperately needs some unity.

I hopped on Behr.com. I am using Behr paint (which the landlord has already approved) and decided using their on-line paint tool would be a fun way to play with the color. The benefit is that their pictures all have white trim (as do we). The disadvantage is the colors are a bit artificial looking on the computer and look much more sub-dued and dimensional in person. So...in other words please expand your imagination as much as possible.

I arranged the photos as if they represent the floor plan of our house. It is one big square and aside from the laundry room I was really able to layout how the colors would flow together.

Master Bedroom/Laundry Hall/Bathroom: Celery Ice
Living Room/Boys Room: Peanut Butter
Kitchen/Misc Room: Celtic Gray

So excited! Let me know what you think!
