What's Your Opinion?

I've spent a lot of time painting. I'm taking my time, because I want my house to look good...fabulous actually. I took a BIG gamble with 2 bedrooms. I wanted a green with white trim, if you remember. Paul's bedroom looked really good in green. I had originally picked out a darker, more deep olive green, but was told by a wife of a co-worker (she came over and looked at the lighting) to go a shade lighter, since my rooms are dark because of large trees that shade the windows. So, I went with "grass cloth". I spent 2 days doing 2 bedrooms. One of them is 12 x 10, and the other is 13 x 10. When I first applied the paint I flipped out because it looked neon green. It dried darker, and in the back bedroom is turned out really good (I think). The front bedroom is a little lighter, so the green looks lighter in there.

I'm mixed. Sometimes I walk in the bedrooms and think it looks really vibrant and good, and then other times I walk in and think it's a nursery or it's way too loud for a bedroom. Here are some pictures. Tell me what you think...honestly!

I like the color, but without furniture it’s hard to tell.

Walter is so cute.

I like it! It looks great w/ that warm-colored floor. The color is actually very similar to the walls in my parents' house. I'll send you those pictures. It'll look good with furniture in it, for sure.

I definitely don't get any bad or negative vibes from the colors. They're easy on the eyes and will probably go with a lot of stuff in the room. I think the pics look fine, D. :) Good job!

When I looked at the 1st picture I wondered why you did not paint the window trim white, then I saw you did. I think it looks great & you can bring color with your bedspreads & rugs. I can't wait to see it in person. Thanks for the pics.

I like it. I think the floors look good too. A little furniture and decorating (IKEA,of course) and it'll all come together.
