Designing Woman

So I’m already starting to design our house in my head as far as where furniture should go and what colors I want to use. My style is simple and neat; I’d rather spice it up with some framed pictures or colorful furniture than go too crazy with paint colors.

The web mistress that I am I tried to find an easy way to look up paint colors online. While both Behr and Moore’s paint sites kept crashing on me it seems Moore’s was slightly less difficult.

Here is the livingroom color I want. It might seem strange to be going with an earthy color like this but I wanted to keep this room (biggest room) simple and classic. I am hoping :fingerscrossed: we can get a nice tan or sand colored couch set.

Erik wants the couch sort of in the middle to separate it from the kitchen but I’m not sure that will work. I think it should go along the wall. We’ll probably have to figure that out last minute when we’re actually standing in the room with the furniture.

This is the master bedroom (aka our bedroom) and for a while now I’ve had this vision in my head of light green walls and deep red/light green bedspread. I know it might sound strange but I think the colors can go really nice together. I have this fear though that I’m not going to get the right green color and it will look like mint ice cream.

Erik thinks A. it will look like Christmas and B. he complains he cannot see them. Well he can only really see yellow and blue so gimme a break :flippa:

Let’s move onto the guestroom shall we? I felt a nice relaxing blue would be nice for this room but I’m not sure what blue I want. The blue I picked here is nice but I think maybe I’ll see if Erik likes another blue better. He tends to go too bright though and I can’t deal with bright colors.

This room I plan to have our futon in (so it can turn into a bed) and the futon has a light beige/sand color cover on it.

Last is the office, a room the cats will probably use more than us. I’ve been pondering using an orange color for this, is that completely insane? Is it awful? Do you feel like you’re in a pumpkin patch? I might just keep it white for the time being.

No clue what to do about the bathroom or kitchen. Not much to paint in the kitchen and I figure I might change the style of the bathroom in the future so white might be most sensible for now. Any ideas?

I’m not sure how it works but I was thinking that maybe we should paint the paneling a while to make the colors stand out more. A wood color paneling might not look as nice with the paint colors I’ve chosen.

Whenever Erik questions a color choice I have I just say “hey, you’ve done this before. It’s my turn this time :tongue:
