The first room is the "larger" of the two bedrooms. Each room in the house is quite cozy and this is particularly true of the bedrooms. One of them is currently painted a pink and yellow vertical stripe. While cute for the current owner's two little girls, it doesn't quite suit us. The other room is the very green dining room. The color is kind of likeable, but again, not quite right for us. I'd love to do a taupy, muddy gray for our bedroom, but am a bit hesitant given its small size. That may make it seem even tinier. Here are a couple of pics where it works nicely, though.
As for the dining room, for now we'll probably paint it a neutral creamy white, but someday soon I hope to put up this awesome paper from Farrow + Ball. It is from their Lotus Papers collection. Maybe I am getting too into that muddy gray? I just love this paper.
Was also thinking about the front porch and front door. The house is a light gray, which works for the seaside location, I think. It currently has a red -burgandy door. Typically, I like the burgandy and gray combo, but I think I'd like to get a little cottage-y here and go with a blue that pops a bit more. I like the deep cobalt colors. There is a hue from Ben Moore called Southern Belle that might be nice.
Speaking of the front porch, if we paint the door blue, we'll need to paint the floor, too. Probably a dark gray. I'd also love to add one of these Moravian Star fixtures.
They are supposed to protect your home and bring good luck to your family. I think it would look cool as a front porch light fixture. Turns out, friends have one in their bedroom! It looks great. (Notice the lovely muddy gray paint color on the walls!)
