To answer to $64,000 question...

I don't know why I painted over the colors that I love. Well, actually I do... I am forever changing my mind. Luckily I have the furniture that allows me to do this, so I am only spending a couple of hundred dollars a year in paint and decor changes. I see all these ideas that I love and I try to make it work in my house; however, it never looks the same and I just end up disappointed. For instance, M's Aunt K has the most comfortable atmosphere in her living room. We tried to simulate that in our living room with the green paint and the use of lamps. Our result ended up just looking sterile. Even the red was more cozy than what it looks like now. I think that we are getting in too much natural light considering that half of our living room area is made up of large windows. I did end up liking the color a lot more than I had anticipated. Unfortunately, I did not have time to get the pics off of my camera yet.

I am definitely changing the dining room color from purple. I just need to figure out a color that will compliment the green in the living room because the two rooms are open to each other. Here is the color of green that I keep talking about. Enter Privilege Green into the search box.
