So sorry, my friend!<BR/><BR/>Girl, I am sooooo confused! I really love the dark "moody" rooms and most of my home reflects this...yet...I really love the serene whites and neutral rooms! What's the matter with me...am I fickle? Hehe!!! I guess I just have to conclude that I love a pretty room and a great design plan...whether it be executed through color or neutrals! <BR/><BR/>I always enjoy the photos your post of different design styles and ideas...keep on with the inspiration, my friend!<BR/><BR/>Warmest wishes,<BR/>ChariChari at Happy To Designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475994012652473793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-59332220923472382802009-03-25T15:21:00.000-07:002009-03-25T15:21:00.000-07:00I love that pop of apple green against those pale ...I love that pop of apple green against those pale walls!<BR/><BR/>ManuelaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-74002192173561689382009-03-25T12:17:00.000-07:002009-03-25T12:17:00.000-07:00Brenda, Kathy had almost the same problem...I hav...Brenda, Kathy had almost the same problem...I have a designer in mind for both of you that I think you will enjoy his colors. I will try to get to that soon. My personal suggestion is to never fight the bones of your home...If your home tends to be dark, then use darker colors, you can not win when fighting a house. People will ask me what my style is when they meet me about a job. I always find that so crazy... each house will tell you what needs to be done and it is differant each time.Room Service ~ Decorating 101https://www.blogger.com/profile/00391177317831699246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-31814453409711435212009-03-25T11:44:00.000-07:002009-03-25T11:44:00.000-07:00love the painted front door!love the painted front door!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-44854372173400125372009-03-25T07:17:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:17:00.000-07:00In my opinion 'black' walls are daring! The close...In my opinion 'black' walls are daring! The closest I've ever come to it, is the use of a deep navy blue. (I love it, however it will be changed very soon.)<BR/><BR/>I think living in the climate I do (long cold, gray winters) I have a tendency to consider 'the psychological impact of color' above all else. Also the location (natural lighting) and use of each space plays a major role in the menu; thus striving for harmony of color throughout the home presents a big challenge for me. <BR/><BR/>Besides injecting seasonal accessories, do you have any tips for me Vicky? I realize that I am probably making it more difficult that it should be :) Open for suggestions....-Brenda-mrsbenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490065292054880863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-36556486250632700572009-03-25T07:06:00.000-07:002009-03-25T07:06:00.000-07:00I love the first picture with the green door and s...I love the first picture with the green door and stripped area rug.

I knew it would be back. I occasionally change the color of the ceiling just to give myself a fresher environment. Since most of my home is saturated with color, I need at least one room to cleanse my palate!!!! See, it is all about the menu!<BR/>Carolcedwards55https://www.blogger.com/profile/06682128081005563323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-84221705116306573182009-03-25T05:03:00.000-07:002009-03-25T05:03:00.000-07:00I just have 6 windows in my house.

As far as my color palette, we are still living with the colors we chose when the house was built, not real bad colors, buttercream type color scheme. However, im ready for some changes, but im sure i will still stay soft and somewhat light, except the bedroom, i would like to do a warmer color in there.<BR/>hugs<BR/>janetjanethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109006150387830549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-6345068733181826342009-03-24T18:46:00.000-07:002009-03-24T18:46:00.000-07:00They're all such beautiful rooms... really love t...They're all such beautiful rooms... really love the black dining room too!!

However, I just could not paint my dining room black. My friend painted her son's room black and it was such a cave. Please don't tell me that the grasscloth is back - I ripped it out of my 1979 foyer just a few years ago and it was a stinker to remove! So everyone else can have it! Along with the chrome daisies on chocolate brown and the chrome palm leaves on wintergreen. Two wallpapers that were in the hall bath and the master bath. Now the headboard is another story.....Robynimjacobsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00842267107516241617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-92055464995742046922009-03-24T15:57:00.000-07:002009-03-24T15:57:00.000-07:00I too love all the photos!CarolynI too love all the photos!<BR/>CarolynCarolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06365004847174534068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-35126410866074444682009-03-24T14:18:00.000-07:002009-03-24T14:18:00.000-07:00Hey V..Great post today girl..Love it all..Have a ...Hey V..Great post today girl..Love it all..Have a great day friend..Hugs and smiles Gl♥riaHappy To Be/ Gl♥riahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17515180398559277746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-594508409437632905.post-45492216966274320742009-03-24T13:36:00.000-07:002009-03-24T13:36:00.000-07:00This post is soooo me!

I still smile over that, & of course NOW KNOW how she felt!!! Been thinking about it for MONTHS ... am about ready to "just do it" (well, OK, HAVE it done!) any minute now!!!
