    hmm, ok. I am Not putting it on plaster walls of my condo, but I have considered putting it on 1) the soon to be fresh wallboard in my Hermann bedroom and 2) closet doors in my condo

    Here's Christian Siriano's home which I find happy and livable, despite a LOT of color.

    It is interesting on how we all perceive "things". I see clashing clutter in many of these rooms. I would never put that much "stuff" together. I would constantly be in a state of feeling disarray!

    Sizing and primer over fresh walls.

    Frugal one, I totally agree with your assessment of that house. Yikes I was overwhelmed!

    I liked the white rooms in that house, which is consistent with my preferences.

    How did I miss that the first time? Sublime--shades of pink and chartreuse-y green are among my favorites. And that rug! Swoon.

    Gorgeous!! My kitchen cabinets are similar to the green on your walls--I think the paint color I chose was Wasabi--which is good description.

    I call it “old lady green” because I know too many ladies of a certain age who have this color splashed liberally around their house. I love it! My “friend with taste” is a gay man my age who had a version of the green but his was more lime and even brighter. It was splendid as a backdrop to all of his art.

    Jane, this rug is polyester and is a fun rug, nothing I wish to carry into the next house.But it goes nicely here.

    I missed this the first time round as well so thanks for sharing. You do like colour! I, too, love the rug. The pink chairs are lovely to look at in your house. Now, I understand what you mean when you talk about colour in a dwelling.
