A Little Colour

I've been wanting to paint my room for what feels like forever! I had some basics in mind. It was going to have one wall a darker shade and that would be the colour of all the trim as well, and then all of the other walls would be a lighter colour. The shades would be in the brown and blue schemes. Then I just had to narrow it down. That was a tougher challenge than I thought. I have a handyman that worked on some projects for me and he and I sat down with all of the colour chips after I had it narrowed down to 4 different combinations. Shaved Chocolate is the brown and Porcelain is the blue (it's almost like Tiffany blue - although my roommate says it needs a bit more green for that). I love the colours and the combination. Now that a few of the walls are blue and the main wall is brown...all that's left is the trim and making it all look pretty. I've lived here almost 12 years and I finally have a room that's not the basic white...who knew. It's made all the difference in the world on my outlook and just the whole vibe in my room. Now when the light falls in through the freshly cleaned porticos and the walls are all full of colour I feel fresh and happy.
