We painted this room. Still need to get up the stairs. Had to scrape a lot of paint and wallpaper off.

Love the Turkish lights. Have a few in our home and they are wonderful.

Wow. How old is your home if I may ask?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago

Funny thing. When we bought the house, they got the city records to see how old it was, and they said it was always just kind of here. So we might be pushing over 200 years? I hate to make any claims though. It used to be a dairy farm before the city built in around it, and lived in and updated many times in between.

Really nice pick of color you have. 3 years ago when we moved, I insisted on the same color for one floor while the other had some similarly-dark off-white, around similarly wooden furnishings.

The dark tone of the blue can be noticeable in cloudy weather and winter light, but never regretted the tone.

This is a wonderful of color blue

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah. I really like it over the Chi-Chi's yellow.

In the Navy was the name, it's a Sherwin Williams color, but Home Depot matches anything.

We are looking to redo a lot of our house. I'm going to have to save this color. Thank you. We also have a lot of wood.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 7 months ago (1 children)

WOW. This is such a nice job!. I really like the combination of blue and wooden brown. And the plants too. It feels like a high-fantasy book!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, we were thinking of doing something with the wood, but the blue just makes the wood look better. An unexpected, but appreciated, side effect.

I can see why the original owners went with yellow to brighten the room bit personally I love dark blue in that style of home

Good choice. Your version is much better.
