Last night she comes over and does the usual eye roll thing when I tell her that, yes, the bedroom walls will be white. Even though hubby has been saying that he hates white and: "please, oh please, don't do this to me". But I've insisted. I'm bound and determined to see white walls.
She comes over and goes: "well, lets look at the wallpaper again and see if maybe you should continue the gray background on the remainder of the walls". It just so happens that I have a perfect colour chip: Vancouver Day by C2, that matches the wallpaper background perfectly.
The colour looks way too dark in the 1st image and way too slight on the wallpaper sample. And now I'm torn again. Note that I've already bought white paint (C2 Sheer), I've already exchanged it from eggshell to falt, AND started cutting in.Now I ask you. Should I go with Vancouver Day? Or Sheer? Would I regret going with Sheer? Would I regret going with Vancouver Day?
I don't MIND the Vancouver day, my problem is that it is more on the greige side, while the bathroom walls are definitely more blue (Overcast, below).
I'm not sure what to do. Sheer would give me continuity between the bathroom and the bedroom. Vancouver Day would give me a more classic look. And it would make hubby happy.Some pictures to put all this writing in context.
I'm looking to you guys to help me out. Vote: Continuity? Classic?
PS. I have JUST noticed that Anna at DoorSixteen actually does not use white above the paneling in her bathroom! Something to keep in mind. Oh, I HATE it when my mother is right!
PSS. I am not ready to repaint the bathroom. I love it the way it is.

Since you already have the white paint I would stick with your plan. Then if you don't like it once the wall paper is up you can always add colour.
ReplyDeleteStick with what you have planned. Once the wallpaper is up, the bed is in, the linens are chosen and used on the bed, the new floor is in, art is up etc. see what you think. Live with it for a while and go from there...repainting is always an option but don't react too quickly as you might be tired, influenced by others, etc.
ReplyDeleteGo ahead as planned and wait...

ReplyDeleteYes I do! The photo might make it look like it's not, but it is. :)
Incidentally, I did use a matching gray to do a swatch (I never took any pictures), but it looked heavy and dark and awful. White it its!
