LaTigresse -> RE: What color are your walls? (2/26/2007 8:28:23 AM)

Interesting question. Some of my house is still not finished therefor not painted, hell there are still walls missing downstairs.
However, on the main floor it is primarily one huge multifuction (kitchen, dining, living) room with lots of great big windows that I have no need to cover with heavy drapes. They just overlook the valley and horse pasture, no human neighbours to see in. It also has a warm gold (took me forever to mix just the right shade of stain) hardwood floor. All of that being said I gave alot of thought to a colour that would work well with dark brown leather, wood floors, wool oriental rugs and misc antique furniture (mostly walnut) so I chose the multishaded old tuscan gold also. It is very subtley shaded and after almost 6 years I still love it. It is warm and cozy this time of year with all the dreary winter light streaming in the windows and it is not overpowering.
In the hall and in the main bedroom is a really soft odd colour of greenish, grayish tanish colour they called mississipi mud. It sounds horrid but it really is a lovely warm almost green colour. The other bedroom is a yummy coffee with lots of cream colour. The bathroom is a work in progress. I started with a blue that just sucked when I got it on the walls. Then I whitewashed the hell out of the whole thing including the ugly oak cabinetry and used the rugs, towels and antique little breakables ( deco art pottery and perfume bottles) on glass shelves for colour. I am still not thrilled but have yet to come up with another colour.
Downstairs where there are no walls......the only room I know for sure will be my bathroom. That will be warm ocean colours of golden sand tiles on the floor and a glass tile mosaic on the main wall. Warm blues, greens etc. There will be a big fish tank in another wall. And one bigass custom made soaking tub.
