Yesterday I threw my old ass back out. Not content to just chillax and watch tv (ok, actually I already blew through all of my Project Runway back episodes) I've been whiling away the hours supine on the couch, browsing the internets with laser like focus. I need to pick a paint color for our great room. Yes Sanders already picked one for me and I know he's going to be right, but I just wouldn't be me if I didn't hem and haw and try to second guess him.
Thanks in part to your feedback, I've finally reconciled myself to the fact that white is going to look barfy in that shady room. I realized that I want white so badly because I have a fear of commitment -- white plays well with everyone.
And also because it loves to play with itself. Heh.
Plus I am kind of a colorphobe. This room is actually awesome, but if I had to live here I would wake up with the hives every morning.
So what I'm struggling with is, do I just pick a neutral? I think I have this fear that it's going to go flat, dingy, or Martha Stewart on me. I really wish I could paper the whole room in gold grasscloth (yes I know the picture above is not grasscloth), but with 18 ft ceilings there is just no freaking way.
Or do I pick a pale color to give the room a little something something?
Here is the room again for reference. I want to wash that suburban band aid right out of my hair.
What color is your living room painted? Do you love it?
