And honestly, I think color sometimes works even better in smaller houses. But I'm sitting in my aqua living room next to my pink dining room and applemint kitchen right now!!<br /><br />The worst painting ever was painting my mother's living room. She picked a really purpley taupe and wanted a paint effect. It's a HUGE room., like 40x20 (and awkward with that shape!)and I kept telling her, "you need to go more neutral, you won't like it. I think you should do one wall in the paint effect and then pick a neutral for the other walls. that purple is going to bounce off the other walls and you won't like it...." But no, she wanted that color, what did I know? She is an artist! It was from hell, like the color of Alpo from the 80s, not quite brown, not quite red, not quite purple....not right. <br /><br />I will never heard the end of the time I painted her house purple and how much it cost them to fix it by having someone paint it a NEUTRAL color.Anniehttp://purlsowisconsin.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.com
