Pad Patter 4/9: Paint Colors

Oh, I'm so jealous of your colored walls, ladies! We have lived here for 8 years and only painted 3 walls and one room... my son's room is a pale yellow... actually the same color from the previous owner, but they had a wallpaper border that when removed, it took up some of the paint - was trying to be nice to hubby when I was prego... I found a shade very close to the original... and then we have three angled walls through out the house that we painted Bullfrog Green... I want to paint more - but getting hubby on board has been a struggle.

For those of you with bold colors - do you have white woodwork or natural? We have dark maple wood work and I'm struggling with colors making things too dark...

 

I'm with Angie - our trim was all ugly ivory/cream, and so we are re-painting as we go. I did do a different cream with my chocolate brown, but all the others are crystal white. Painting trim seriously stinks though.

I LOVE IT!!!!

 

It is so much fun to see the variety that everyone has.
