Today boys and girls we have a story about how weird paint and paint colors are.
Ok, so now we get to the stupid part.
I planned to paint it because it did have a lot of scratches, but I wanted to use it in my family room until I sell it- storage is storage after all. I thought about white
or black
But if you can remember my family room, it seemed like both these options would just stick out like a sore thumb in the middle of the room.
Then I saw this:
See the wood trim around the woven areas? See how it sets off the honey color? See the green walls like my family room? |
After countless trips for paint chips I chose Behrs "Art District". It seemed perfect, a greyish beige that wants to show a bit of a khaki green cast at times.
I figured I would give it a cream wash over it to lighten it.
What, you protest ?- that is not the right color?
You are so right, dear Sensei.
EDIT:
So here it is installed in my family room.
Weird as ever.
This picture shows all the purple undertones. |
The flash makes it look more pure grey. The thing on the floor is the dogs' blanket, not exactly a design detail. |
This picture illustrates the point that the paint color is not the only thing weird in my house :) |
This picture illustrates that maybe it is best just to turn off ALL the lights and call it a day. |
soooo...no comment?
