Going to Lowes with the boy to pick out some paint chips so we can decide what to paint the master suite when we move in in May. I'm thinking sage green, will nicely compliment the hardwood floor and white trim. And my art collection...

Now, to balance out that shot of estrogen... BEER on me!

I recommend eating the paint chips. I did as a lad and I turned out fine.

Oh, I'm going for color. I'm thinking of combining moss green and japanese kio, and might do the moss green with a lavendar ceiling.

I love painted ceilings. Like you said, its a personal thing :)

That actually sounds pretty cool looking, could you post a pic of it?

oh noes! if the fight get serious, kostik might call in the BEAR CAVALRY!





when i bought my condo, the walls were all white. with brown (painted, not real woodgrain) baseboards, go figure. to top it off, it wasnt very *well* painted, and so me and camhead camped out in the basement for over a week to paint every wall and every baseboard.

the kitchen is now a warm, Mediterranean yellow, and all the trim in the house is off white tinted with that color. the cabinets were white (who does that??) with black inside them, and now they are maristachio cherry red with lavender inside and no doors. the living room is dark green and medium green. dark green on two walls, lighter on the other two the lighter wrapping up the stairs into the little "hallway" (landing) upstairs. the office is perfect-climbing-day-sky blue, the bathroom is burnt orange, and the bedroom is deep scarlet (the one my dad said was 3 shades too dark, but i love it.)

i love all the color. it makes me so much happier to look at- the white was depressing, and just came off looking dingy. if you stand on the landing upstairs, you can see green, blue, white, orange, and scarlet. it sounds potentially awful, but is in fact delicious.

viva colour!



(PS red takes like 5 coats, it took us, i think three gallons of paint to get the room to be an acceptable color. and this is WITH the tinted primer, which was pepto pink! the orange bathroom paint took one coat to look all brushstrokey cool, and two to look completely smooth. )

Good luck selling that place in a couple of years when graduate school is over and you are ready to move on.

The first place I bought was perfect for my wife and I, except the lady before us painted the base boards and door molding a deep blue/gray (think county kitchen gray) to match the horrendous carpet she had in the room. The carpet went before we even moved in, but I had to paint the base boards and molding. It took me three coats of primer and four coats of white semi gloss to get rid of that shit.

There is such a thing as too much color in the wrong places.
