new year, new view.
but first, i need to paint over the white walls. i might as well, since i have to spackle a bit before moving in anyway. i never knew choosing a bedroom color could give me such a feeling of commitment-phobia. !!! i'd like to think i'll be living here for longterm, therefore i'm staying away from the bright and bold and trendy. i love reds, however that might give me an unwelcome jolt of color on some days. i also want to stay away from the 'classic' ivory and beige and putty, since i've lived with that for a while now and am ready for something different...yet still soothing and livable and inspiring. handsome yet feminine. sophisticated but not stuffy. tasteful, classy, but not commercial or boring. it's like finding the perfect man....i kid.
interestingly enough what i'm feeling right now is the concept of chalkboard paint, or at least the finish of (matte)...makes a statement, yet hopefully still inviting to me when i come home late nite looking to pass out, or just to hideaway. or to sleep in. Slate Gray...or Charcoal...or putty mauve. something vintage/modern. Both look good with chestnut and pine colored furniture.
do i want all the walls to be a darker color? or just an accent wall? if i'm going to go there...i should go there....all walls perhaps?
it's a small room, but not tiny. and great, fabulous natural light. high ceilings.
it's kind of a lot to think about, since i'm not the type of person to continuously change up the color of my walls (who has the time?).
oh, the drama.
