Indecision personified...



We're agreed on the dining room and hallway and almost on the bedroom. I'm close to coming to a decision on the office and guest room. We need to go back for options for the basement, but are deeply divided at this point.

Still clueless on the living room. We both think sesame is heading in the right direction. I'm intrigued by maple leaf (maple) and pumpkin (pump). D. loves mission tile (m. tile, that was ellen_fremedon's suggestion). I like the intensity, but I think it's too red.

Opinions welcome (although we may not do what you say, obviously). Locals who want to see the colors in person (and maybe daylight), just let me know when. We want to have all the decisions made by next week.

We'd like to hang this painting in the room along with brown bookcases and a brown leather chair if that helps with context. Are planning to purchase other lighter, furniture. We want a warm, library feel. The room has a bay window and afternoon light, and beyond it you can see the dining room which will be dark blue.

Major thanks to gnomad, fox, and ellen_fremedon who helped with initial paintsampleification.

eta: To see our paint choices for the rest of the house go here. Thought process outlined in descriptions.

You guys are so cute. :-)

I like the Mission Tile too!, and I don't have an issue with the redness, but I continue to feel like a whole room of it could be overpowering. (With the earlier caveats about when the light comes in still in place, of course; if that room faces west, knock yourself out. [g]) Is that Terracotta right above it? OMG so pink. I kind of dig the "M. Chil" (which I am going to expand out to Mister Chill in the absence of a full name) above the Copper Mine; something between Mission Tile and Mister Chill would work IMO without (combining with the color of the floor wood and) making you (=me) think you were in the devil's den about to be offered a glass of some sort of satanic brandy.

(For the office if you're choosing two of Ridgeview and Smoke Signal and Downpour, I would put Ridgeview and Smoke Signal together as from the picture they look like they have a blueness in common, and the Downpour is a little on the ivory side and would IMO clash with Ridgeview. But in person that could be totally different, so, you know.)

I know terracotta is so pink! And blz (blaze orange) is too intense for me, like living inside a glass of orange juice. M. Chil is Mission(?) Chili I think? Some kind of chili. But I like Mister Chill. :) Splitting the difference might work, D. would probably be a fan. I think I might like Pumpkin better which is similar to Mister Chill while being more orange than red.

mmm, satanic brandy.

Actually Monsieur Chill, of course, now that I think about it, since it's M and not MR. :-D
