Just Stroll-ing Along . . .

i think we've mostly decided on our paint colors. for the past 2 weeks, we have flipped through every paint sample from sherwin williams (those swatch books are the bomb) and keep going back to the greens and yellows.
we're pretty set on "houseplant" for the fireplace wall & stairway wall, which is a lovely medium shade of green. we are also considering it for the alcove-y wall in the dining room. it will be so nice with the oak flooring ... which is covered up right now with a new tan carpet, but we will taking that out of the dining room.
i think the kitchen will either be "banana cream" (a warm, pale yellow) or "springtime" (pale green) or ... raspberry red! i haven't decided yet. i think the cupboards will be one color and the walls another - but i think it all depends on the vintage-looking fabric i picked out for the curtains. i found this big, gorgeous tablecloth that is lovely with raspberries and greens and is so vintage ... mom is going to see what she can do about making it into curtains for me!
our bedroom will be "sassy green," which is a vintage-y shade of sage. (can you tell i love vintage? 40's & 50's!) i think we're going to get some of that cool sparkle stuff to put in the paint for the ceiling. ooo, pretty.
i cannot decide what color i want in the bathroom! right now i'm set on tiffany blue (which is called "tantalizing teal") for the walls and "marshmallow" for the beadboard. i have a great clear shower curtain which features the silhouette of a lady taking a bath and holding a martini glass and the sink we're going to get is the the glass bowl that sits atop the cabinet/table (which brian is going to build) ... i think it will be great with those colors and will give it a nice "spa" feeling.
anyhoo ... i think we're gonna wait on the other two bedrooms and the basement for the time being. one little project at a time!
