So now we are going to be painting the dining room. Nate and I are both leaning towards a mustard yellow - I am just worried how it will look with our wood trim (I wish it was white - but that is too big of a project for me right now).
Anway, below are some of the pictures of the yellow that I am leaning toward...
I also have white spots in here for some comparison - and trying to decide if maybe I want the clean white look. If you notice the spots below the outlet above - that is the result of us not realizing that we had 2 different color walls.
This is the view of what you would see when you first come into the house.
Last- this is a close up of the yellow with our new dining chairs, the console table and the window trim...I am a little nervous that it will be too much....
Please help - let me know your opinion.
Megan, I linked to your blog from Kelly's when I saw the post "paint problems" in her side reel...as you have no idea how many times I've screwed up a room by picking the wrong color. We just repainted our kitchen a mustardy yellow color (Wild Bamboo from Behr) and we have all wood trim. Do you want me to email you some pictures? Let me know if that would help!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of yellow. It's cheery, warm and it will give good constrast to both the wood trim, the dark table and the light chairs. If you are worried about the "bam" factor when walking in the front door, you could two tone the room like the previous owners. Maybe a version of the yellow you picked out, but a step lighter on the West wall.
ReplyDeleteBehr Wild Bamboo from Home Depot
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what it looks like when you are done!
Is your kitchen gray? Would it be too "Hawkeye" if you had a yellow dining room?
ReplyDeleteIT'S NEVER TOO HAWKEYE!!!!!!!!
