I THINK I'VE DONE IT!
I think I (and my husband of course) may have finally decided on a colour scheme the our main living area in our soon to be house :)
We visited many stores (Lowes, Rona, Home depot, etc) but it was at Benjamin Moore that we had the most luck and the most help figuring out exactly what we wanted.
We decided on...
SPLIT PEA
For the open concept livingroom/dinning area.
I really wanted a chartreuse/yellowy green but I kept trying to pick colours that were too light or not saturated enough.... then they just looked florescent or wishy/washy.
I was thinking that in a townhouse the lighter the better but I didn't want such a large area to be blindingly bright either....
For the accent wall at the back of the house that has a fireplace in the middle and a window on either side we decided to paint...
AMHERST GRAY
The nice man at Benjamin Moore actually suggested a gray one shade darker than this which was almost black.... but we decided a slightly lighter gray would work just as well.
We figured that the gray wall would break up the space and look really great with the crisp white mantle and our tall white(faked) moulding.... etc.
Then for our entryway (and we'll carry it into the basement which is open to the main floor... ei. no door just a railing) we decided that a lighter gray would be nice. So for now we picked...
COVENTRY GRAY
I know that I was originally thinking of doing
but after much thought (and the fact that my husband isn't a fan of aqua) we decided that maybe trying to fit aqua in wasn't going to work.
I will still have RED & AQUA accents in the kitchen... just not painted on the walls.
PLUS we found a lovely chair that I've already posted about that was some great inspiration.
and I found this awesome fabric...
So there you have it!
I think we may have finally settled on our colour scheme.
Of course we'll have pops of teal and mustard yellow... and lots of dark woods too.
Now we just need our house!
Can't wait ;)
