My bedroom is the one that my daughter used to have and she painted it black and white - opposite walls back with the ceiling and alternate walls white. The carpet is - guess what - black too. I've been working on the rest of the house and am finally getting around to painting this becroom. I'm going with 2 shades of orange (not pumkin orange, but paler). So far I have the white walls covered, but still don't know for sure how many coats it will take to cover the black walls. Two coats don't do it, but its getting there - LOL. When the painting is dones, I'll see what I can find for a carpet and curtains (black also - LOL).

My bedroom walls are a soft deep dusty rose. The paint is made up of a can of beigh and a can of pink paint. It's a homemade custom color. It's very serene and comforting. I have white lace curtains and ruby red valances with red beads and a deep red paisley bedspread. I have a moss green rug on hardwood floors.

My bedroom walls are a soft green called Fern with white trim and hardwood floors. The windows have white wood shutters topped with valances made from a floral/rose pattern on a rose/red background; the colors in it are the same green as teh walls, a bit of yellow, white and pink. For summer, I have a yellow chenile spread, but I use a comforter in winter covered with a white and light green plaid. I ended up with a green room due to a mishap. The valence fabric was to be used in the living room, which is yellow. But once the first one was made, I realized it looked horrible with yellow walls. To salvage te project, I painted the bedroom to match the fabric. The living room windows have remained valence-free.

Our bedroom walls are a pale yellow left over from the previous owners - after 13 years we still haven't changed it. It's actually nice and restful, I don't even notice them as "colored".

We have dark blue curtains and a blue dreamcatcher hanging up, so I suppose sort of a native American theme going on. On the other hand we have a red calligraphy of "Love" in Japanese, and a pair of Japanese style lamps on the bed headboard, so it's an eclectic mix. Oh and my Japanese sword trio on the side dresser.

The rest of the items (bed etc) are all a neutral wood color.

LOL - I gave my husband a heart attack while I was painting our bedroom.

I used one of those "sponging" rollers that gives you the mottled look.

And the underneath tone are two moss green colors, one dark one light.

My husband walked in and goes "oh my lord, you've painted the room in camouflage."

I told him i wasn't finished and chased him out. My final step was to sponge a gold overlay on it. It totally transforms the "camouflage". Now people look at my room and think it is wall paper.

The greens with gold overlay sounds lovely. A show on HGTV did someting similar with lavender and silver overlay. I loved it and am thinking of trying it in a bothroom. Everything in the bathroom is grey - counter, tub, shower tiles, and toilet. It's leftover from the previous owner, and we really don't want to redo the entire room.

My house is a log cabin therefore my walls are cedar ....works for me...although we did paint the walls in the kitchen/living room area a buttery yellow and the walls around the spiral staircase are red/yellow/green plaid...the bathroom down there has antique fishing lure wallpaper with a fresh water types of fish on a wide border that is around the bottom rather than the top of the room with a plaid edge that matches the other plaid...

I did an undersea theme in our children's bathroom. I painted the walls this light turqoise color then wnet back and sponged on an opal overlay. Then the fixtures in there are grey and silver.

We got a big painting og colorful clown fish, and rug, wastebasket adn accesories to match. Their shower does not let in much light, so the curtain is clear with tropical fish for hooks.

It is very cheerful in there now. (If i could ever get my daughter to keep it clean!)

What if you went with a Peacock blue type color? You know that deep-deep teal. That would pull the blues out of the paint more and make the room very peaceful.

Actually, you could just go get a peacock feather and look at all the jewel tones that are in it. Any would probably be lovely. It just dependes on whether you are wanting a color to be more coordinating or to contrast.

After I made this suggestion to hmarie, the idea just kind of stuck with me. We are getting ready to redo my daughter's bedroom, and I asked her what she thought about this - and she loved it! We went and got a peacock feather from Hobby Lobby and then took it to Home Depot with us to pick out color swatches. We are going to do a deep teal color for the main color (Tropical Waters) and accent with jewel tone green (Chlorophyll) and purple (Exotic Purple), and sponge on some of the gold for highlights.

I love painting rooms! Soon there won't be a white wall in my house. grin

Light gray, black and red. Yes it sounds rediculous, but it turned out rather lovely. It started out with some poppy red vintage brocade drapes that keep the light out for my hubby. Then I inherited medievil renaissance decor from my mother (from the 70's), and it just took off from there. It is very romantic believe it or not. My only problem is the bed is lacking, with the drapes being such a thick fabric - the cotton bedspread looks "weak" and as any decorator knows trying to match red is a headache!!!!! I had a velvet bedspread which helped with balance but my hubby hates taking it off every night. ( I don't know why, it's not like he makes the bed! lol)

Our walls are off white, all of them in the house right now, but we just moved and I have not had time to worry about painting as of yet. I want our bedroom walls to be a soft cocoa color. There is some wallpaper in the house, but it is old, faded, and quite possible left over from the seventies... and really needs to go away. I am working on the kitchen right now, first and foremost, as that is the family "center". It is also where friends tend to gather when they come over.

ooh yummy, Lisa. I used to have a purple car, a VW big. I would love a purple room, I think my heart would just burst if I had a room like that.

My bedroom was supposed to be a tannish color called "covered wagon" but instead it looks like peach to me, I hate it. The trim is supposed to be a glossy off-white, but I ran out of painter's tape and it's dark green. I intend to fix it once we're done unpacking. it all goes well with my forest green/gold comforter set. I should just go all purple on him, huh. My husband would hate it. I should tell him it turns me on, maybe then he wouldn't mind.

Our house is so messy right now that it seems a huge effort to repaint any walls because of all the moving of things that would be involved. I think it's time to get some things cleaned up so we can consider painting some walls! I think the living room is next.

I do like the yellow in our bedroom, so that room is set smile

I've had my trim taped off for weeks now, and somehow shaking up the paint and actually finishing it are another story. I should pay my kids to do it, huh.

Mine is still primer white, as we waited until the one-year inspection of the new construction to permit warranty issues. Well, that's over & chosing colors has us down to three options.
