So two weeks ago we put up the handrail and painted the stairway an olive green color and LOVE it! Last weekend Paul started painting the living room and then not so much love. At night and in artificial light it looked more like split pea soup and I was not as excited about it. Seeing as we spend most of our time in the living room at night, I knew we had to pick a new color for the living room. So the process began, we tried a lovely lighter shade of green, no, then we moved on to blue shades. Six shades of blue, green, gray later we have two winners. Many of the colors we tried looked darker on the card but when we put it on the wall it looked like a nursery. So check out the colors on the walls. Our living room looks funny with samples all over the room...maybe we should just leave it like that?!?! We might start a new trend. :)
Colors at night.
All the samples...better than buying the whole gallon, right?!!?
Colors in morning sun.
Top two our the favorites. Both colors look great with the blue colors in the dining room. We think we like one in particular. Left is contemplation and and right is smokey slate. Obviously they look different in person but you get the idea. Both similar in color just one is the darker version.
Which do you like?
i like smokey slate =)
ReplyDeleteBefore I finished reading the post, I liked the first 2 colors and also the last one in the top row!!! Now that we've narrowed it down, I like contemplation! I may just have to stop by and see it in person to make a better, more well informed decision : )
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking I won't paint the tv and sunroom after all...
