All right, so this is what I see when I look out of one of my bedroom windows ... our garden. Of course this is only a small portion of it, but you get the picture. Can't wait until this stuff is grown and edible!
Above: Wall, baseboard, carpet. Above: BLUE carpet
All right, so here's the real purpose of this post. In the picture where you can see the wall ... it's not that bright aqua looking color, it's actually blue. Not dull blue, but just blue. I'm tired of blue. Everything is gosh damn blue. Our sheets are light blue, comforter dark blue, pillows are accenting colors of blue. The walls are blue and the carpet is blue. Too much blue! Anybody see Bride Wars? The part where Kate Hudson screams "MY HAIR IS BLUE!" I feel like screaming in a very similar way ... 'MY LIFE IS BLUE!' Also, just to try something different (and there is an ulterior motive that won't be admitted to my dad, since he'll have to do a lot of the work) ... I want to paint our room. However, I wanted to see if there was any way to paint it some sort of red hue that could match the carpet.
That's where you guys come in ... you can see the pictures, the first showing you the wall now, the baseboard and the carpet and the other picture is of the carpet so you can get a general idea of what it actually looks like. What sorts of red do you think would be OK with that, if any? I don't want anything glaring ... but a red hue, something warm but nothing shocking and glaring.
Part of the reason for this is just to have something different, and part of it has to do with the fact that, in the spirit of working on mine and my husband's relationship, we want to change our surroundings. I had read in a couple of places that sometimes too much blue can hinder your sex life. I'm sure it obviously can hinder your mood else wise as well, but the sex thing is the more important spot here considering we don't spend all of our time in there ... we do have all of our sex in there, lol. I read that shades of red can encourage physical/mental feelings of that nature. Since we've had blue for a while and I'm sick of it anyway ... and have been looking for an excuse to get a different colored bed set ... this would be the perfect task.
So, I ask you SCers ... what color do you think would go best with the carpet and baseboards?
