What color would you call it?
uhhh...lavender?
Lavender!? HUMPH!
Well, whatever colors they are... they are staying for a while. (I don't feel like colors show up super well in these photos, hence the night and daylight photos, but it is what it is.)
The only color I really love is the pale celery green in my bedroom. The others are ok. It took 3 color tries in the kitchen. (trim still isn't done there) 2 trim colors in the bathroom,4 color combo's on the fireplace, and a complete color switch in the bedroom before I even painted the first colors on! (I can't discuss the containers of paint left over)
The paint fumes are basically gone, the random furniture looks almost cohesive and I'm really starting to enjoy the feel and use of the place. The research lab area is the collective junk/overflow room and hence is not being featured today.
I actually had friends over for an SCD dinner on Saturday and it looked fairly presentable. Sure there is still a huge box of dirt/cement in the front entry (because I can't figure out what to do with the leftover stuff from my tree hole) along with dozens of other equally half baked projects going on about the place, but on the whole it is feeling... well almost like a home.
Eeek, did I say that about Tucson?
Ask me again when the temps are in the 100s.

Your room I presume? Like the green quilt. Is this the replacement bed for the one that was too big for the room??
Okay that was weird. When I was just here there was only the bedroom picture. I accidentally came back to your site instead of going to another one and there were more pictures. Very weird. I think it all looks smashing.
I think it looks grand! I like the colors ( at least from what I can see - you're right about the difference in the way the color shows up in different light).
And your comments about "stuff" still around...I just finished watching episodes of "Hoarders" and "Pickers" and there is a little conflict in knowing what to hold onto and what to let go...Fortunately I'm not "quite" to the hoarder stage. Though I have had some close calls...
I think It's grand what you've got going - and It's got to be wonderful to be able to feel a sense of "home" in the place where you spend the majority of the year.
I LOVE your bedroom! I want it.
I agree with Kelsey and you, your room is my favorite. I do really like the living room though. It has a comfy, homey feeling to it. I hope that is what you were going for, because if it was not... I take it back!
Comfy and homey is good. Given the hodgepodge nature of the furniture I can afford to acquire that is a stellar description really. (it could have been "scruffy, tattered or "used") (:
My bedroom was fun. I painted the quaking aspen on a whim one night and really like them, but they don't show up so great in the picture.
I could use a couple of your whims at my house when you are finished with yours-deal?
I think it looks fantastic...I love your living room...especially the green hutch. I don't think one is ever "done"...there's always something...glad it feels like a home..even if it resides in Tuscon ;)
I would call it wisteria and its that color I want to paint my front room. I love it all and would like to hire you to come and do an extreme home make-over on my house, in your spare time. ;)
Well Miss Wallymack I have 3 gallons left over which would actually translate into 6 because I mixed a gallon of the color with a gallon of white to make the color I wanted.
SO, if you really want that color.. I have it!
I'll come and be an extreme makeover consultant anytime. I have no idea what I'm doing, but it would be fun to try!
