I've lived with them ever since I left Mom and Dad to live on my own many many years ago. In fact, hubby and I have been in our current house for 14 years and we still have white walls. Considering how much I love color, that's downright weird. I told hubby we're painting the living room forest green. He had a cow until he saw it. (We have a software program, Better Home and Gardens Home Designer, where you can draw you're rooms, fill them with your furniture, and then experiment with paint colors, flooring, drapes, etc etc.) It's going to look really nice with the light bamboo flooring we're putting in.

Really makes the stained trim just pop. That said, when it was time to paint our bedroom, we chose red...a nice barn red. The ceiling is a nice creamy beige which isn't so contrasty as the classic ceiling white would have been. <BR/><BR/>Like others have said, it's just paint and can be done over easy enough.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18016792055592749456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-74175770709836077502007-04-17T08:17:00.000-07:002007-04-17T08:17:00.000-07:00Enjoy your dreams of color.

I think that all of us who have brought a house remember spending hours and hours re-arranging and re-painting in our minds.Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04179549759496076329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-60252527988891829962007-04-15T09:52:00.000-07:002007-04-15T09:52:00.000-07:00I know just what you mean about drawing on graph p...I know just what you mean about drawing on graph paper to see how you could arrange your furniture; I did that before I bought my house, too, and I didn't have to worry about leaving paths for a wheelchair.<BR/><BR/>I went from years of white walls to color on the walls as well, and I love it. And as Carrie said, if you don't like it you can always paint over it.<BR/><BR/>Good luck and I hope you can get some sleep soon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-79256014801005247112007-04-14T01:12:00.000-07:002007-04-14T01:12:00.000-07:00Oooo, I hope you had fun!

Just remember, you can always paint over if you don't like it, and paint always darkens a teensy bit when it's on the walls. I don't know why. =) I'm just happy for you! I have a housewarming gift all in mind.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05921287383710570315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-30583635641163595052007-04-13T19:01:00.000-07:002007-04-13T19:01:00.000-07:00I feel for ya hun.

I live in a duplex owned by the county, so no color on the walls. White walls and brown, flat carpet with no nap. I'm always imagining what the inside of houses look like, how I would decorate it. <I> sigh</I> I just need out of this hole in the wall. heheheBecky in Iowa :O)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05181562983809663263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16232845.post-66866431379886859152007-04-13T18:36:00.000-07:002007-04-13T18:36:00.000-07:00Good to see you!

So much easier than paint. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Good luck with all your planning! We redid the kitchens and the bathrooms when we moved into our place and I became obsessed (big surprise) with all of it. I would buy these magazines and cut stuff out and take notes and a few months after it was all done my husband threw the box away with all my stuff. It might just be the worst argument we ever had - I had worked SO HARD and it was gone. Of course I still had the house to live in.... It can all make you crazy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
