well, i sucked it up this morning and painted! it only took me a couple of hours, and i'm quite happy with my result. i feel like it's a bit homier now, but still light and airy. the darker color also makes my trim pop, and just as i suspected, all of my white accent pieces are really shining.
the color i used is behr's "dolphin fin" (i think the name is funny). here is a little preview shot, though it's pretty bright in here right now, so it's kind of hard to see! i will take more photos later.

































Looks great! Kind of looks like my living room wall color (sherwin williams screen gray) - and this helps because we've been unsure whether to get a dark gray sectional or a light gray sectional...
ReplyDeleteLove the pillows, too!
thanks! yes, mine looks pretty blendy right here, but it's actually a nice contrast now, as opposed to when the walls and sofa were white. i'm really happy with it!
ReplyDeleteLooks freaking amazing! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteI really liked seeing the various stages in your living room decoration. It looks beautiful-- just like a page out of a magazine!
