We did the adjoining kitchen the darker yellow on the strip. Now after a year I am tired of it. There isn't a ton of light. The high parts of the room look greenish with the shadows. It's hard to match stuff to. Anyway - so now I want to pick a color that will be there for years and we wont get tired of it. How do you do that for such high ceiling? At the highest point, it is 2 stories high and with the hassle of getting scaffolding to paint I don't want to have to do it again. We put in hardwood floor - they are medium brown with maybe a hint of red. And we have white trim. The colors we go with need to tie in with the kitchen and dining room as it is all open floor plan. And we need to get rid of that darker yellow too. Going to paint the kitchen cupboards antique white when we get around to it. Anyway - I guess I have rambled but any advice on high ceilings would be great. I guess I want something neutral but not so light it looks white and not too dark.Marijkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887592318598691325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-7527166738578743462011-02-21T03:41:45.433-06:002011-02-21T03:41:45.433-06:00What an exciting experience!/Hilarious!

I have to be very careful not to redecorate at the end of winter, because that's when tropical colors call to me. Your point about the color being one you can ****live with**** wacked me over the head. I love Robin's egg blue, too. But it seems like it looks best amongst things that are the color of a nest or a tree branch...thanks for sharing this color choosing perspective.Dixie Redmondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18290571323764327616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-1979848891493172302010-03-31T10:43:07.487-05:002010-03-31T10:43:07.487-05:00YAY!

You are so right, you have to take into account so many things! Too bad it isn't a one size fits all decision!<br /><br />I tried out dozens of colors before settling on one finally for my walls...I am deep into painting right now, but I am very happy I took the time to pick the right one!Melissa @ The Inspired Roomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711494549892860307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-70329312447016056912010-03-30T00:25:15.734-05:002010-03-30T00:25:15.734-05:00Great post

I really want to paint them all a little different, but the ease of painting them all them same is speaking to me (especially since we are doing it ourselves).<br /><br />#2 - We just bought a house and every room has to be painted. When you walk in the front door, you are in the foyer, can see the living room, part of the hall and part of the dining room. Do all these walls that you can see from the front door need to be the same color? Or do they just need to "go"?Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04901629548970729944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6402694134300866275.post-55568501331735197742010-03-29T21:39:11.871-05:002010-03-29T21:39:11.871-05:00So good that you are feeling better!
