LOL, I get to pick another paint color

We have an in-law suite that was added to our house in 2003. It's a 2-story area, including a BR and BA upstairs, and a LR, kitchen, and 1/2 bath downstairs. We've taken over the upstairs BR and BA as our master, and the downstairs area is set up with a Q bed for visitors. Problem is, the area is open up the steps to our room, so we wanted to put a doorway in to give everyone more privacy.

The contractor is here this week putting up a new wall and doorway. And I just realized last week that the new wall means I will (oh darn) have to paint the lower room. It's a blue that I can't stand (and my dad agrees), so it's off to look at more paint swatches!

Re: LOL, I get to pick another paint color

  • Woohoo! I love picking paint colors, it's the painting that I hate. Have fun and remember b&a's for us!
  • You are the only person I know who loves painting so much.  One of these days I am so going to recruit you for my house.
    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

    Me too! When we moved in to this house, painting was a breeze. But I am dreading painting the new house.

    LOL! I'm itching to finish the short wall in our DR, and starting the kitchen. Then there's the issue of the lower hallway. I want to paint that awful yellow and just hire someone to do the stairwell. DH wants someone to do the whole hall and stairwell. Who knew I'd want to take over someone else's job? ;)

  • That's exciting! What color are you going to pick?
    I could/have spent days pouring over the color wheel. So many choices....

    No idea. DH has already nixed light green. I want something to go with the pale yellow in the kitchen, the dark wood of the bedroom set, and the crappy Berber carpet. And I'm tired of picking gray.

  • I'm really into sky blue with navy blue accents lately. I think I'm going to decorate the nursery like that. Blue goes nice with yellow.
    Sorry, I know you didn't ask for suggestions. I can't help myself sometimes.

    Yeah, should have mentioned it's now an awful blue. I may go a really pale lavender...

  • My yellow kitchen and adjacent green dining room seem to work well together. PIB.
