Our bedroom before John moved in
There hasn't been much house progress lately, but there has been some thinking. For months I was determined eventually to paint our bedroom deep red. Many of our little decorative items in that room are red or have red in them, and it just seemed romantic. I envisioned perhaps some white neo-classical crown moulding to smooth the transition between ceiling and walls and lend to the overall majestic, romantic feel.
But I am absolutely sure now that, Lord willing, we will paint the bathroom off our bedroom in a soft lavender. If you were at our wedding, you probably picked up on my love for the herb itself, and the bathroom is our designated lavender room. We've even bought the paint. :-)
The problem is that I don't think lavender and red go together. I picked up another paint chip which suggested that a soft plum and a soft green would look well together, so perhaps we should go with green? I do love green.

Then I thought of yellow and blue. Our room in Rome on our honeymoon was pale yellow with blue accents, so those colors have some sentimental value. They would also go beautifully with the spread my dear friend Pamela brought us back from India.
Any thoughts?
Soft yellow would look good with either red or blue. In one house I did yellow on the walls and blue bedding. It looked good except the yellow walls was a little bright - if I did it over again, I would have chosen a subtler shade. I love the spread from India.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your input! I love the spread, too. Right now we just have it folded at the foot of the bed.
