From my p...I LOVE the way your painted piece looks. From my perspective, which is totally my opinion - dark walnut, weathered gray wood, and non-red or orange shades of deep wood colors look best with neutral decor. I like a bit of contrast, and the wood adds a "masculine" element that some all-white rooms do not have. The all white rooms can be very feminine, which works for some people. I like to add a variety of different whites, maybe some camel and taupe, iron, dark wood, rusty things, heavy texture, natural baskets, etc. to add texture, interest and a bit of equality. :) Love the direction your room is taking!Revihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03118538206780122093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657875224479458774.post-29310418969888361632014-02-13T06:15:16.832-05:002014-02-13T06:15:16.832-05:00Thanks so much Martina…we are getting away this Sa...Thanks so much Martina…we are getting away this Sat for a few days to a warmer climate but going to paint away once we return…enjoy your snow day…AGAIN!!…<br />xo, MariaelenaMariaelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754477055198749280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657875224479458774.post-89577193577466883792014-02-13T06:14:22.807-05:002014-02-13T06:14:22.807-05:00Thanks so much Kim…I'm going to get going with...Thanks so much Kim…I'm going to get going with the paint!!…getting ready for a quick get away out of this Tundra Zone but once I'm back I'm going full steam ahead…so appreciate your input!…pls visit again!<br />MariaelenaMariaelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754477055198749280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657875224479458774.post-45006785991422103452014-02-13T06:13:03.926-05:002014-02-13T06:13:03.926-05:00Thanks so much for the comment…I think I'm goi...Thanks so much for the comment…I think I'm going for it!…pls come back again!!<br />MariaelenaMariaelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754477055198749280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657875224479458774.post-69896026059343293062014-02-13T06:12:32.759-05:002014-02-13T06:12:32.759-05:00Thanks Ginger…feeling the same way about the Orang...Thanks Ginger…feeling the same way about the Orange!!…Tune in for a complete bedroom redo soon…(at least I hope I get the gumption up to do it soon)…lol…thanks for commenting and pls come back again!<br />MariaelenaMariaelenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09754477055198749280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657875224479458774.post-50511712942038900332014-02-12T20:30:37.652-05:002014-02-12T20:30:37.652-05:00Love the painted version!
