Biege Blues

Recently, I've been feeling that my life has become very beige. Shades of beige....beige walls, beige dog, and now a new beige car. In order to remedy that blandness I convinced my dear friend Prof. H that we needed to paint her family room. She has a lovely pumpkin peachy orange living room and a bright sunny yellow dining room. The drab white family room just didn't fit and I took it on as my mission to change that! Prof H was a little hesitant as she had painted her bedroom alone and the 10 ft ceilings meant that there was a lot of surface area and the wide molding around the windows and along the floor created lots of fun edging challenges. The day before we went down to her place she said to me on the phone: "I'm not sure I'm fully committed to this". I said that I WAS and that was that. Well, it WAS a lot of work, but as you see in the following before and after pictures I think you'll agree that it was worth it! All the fine food and drink provided by Prof. H. was much appreciated and made the job much easier to tackle! Thanks Prof!

Love the blue! Like the orange even better! (Will Prof H reveal the paint colors???)

The blue is an Eddie Bauer color, 'pail'. The orange is a Laura Ashley color, 'pumpkin 4' and the former owners who painted the orange and yellow rooms swear the yellow is a Laura Ashley color but I have not been able figure out which one. It all looks so great I have to go buy new furnature, thanks a lot Amy :)
