Snow Day

IMG_6308

Schools were closed today due to the foot or so of snow on the ground, but the interior decorator braved the roads and showed up for our 1:00 appointment with a palette for my living room! She came up with some colors I hadn't even thought of. At first I wasn't sure, but I'm liking them better the more I think about it. She chose a purple that she says is rich and interesting without being "volatile". It will anchor the room and won't react with other bold colors that I will put in the room. We were wishing my millwork were wood, but since it isn't, we're going to paint it near-black; which is actually the wall color a couple shades darker. Then the ceiling will be painted a color, since creams and whites aren't really going to "work" in this room. I plan to hang a couple big light fixtures from the ceiling as well. Should really make the room romantic and interesting!

I can't wait to get painting. I plugged the colors into a "test room" on the Benjamin Moore site so you can get a visual.
