Painting Ideas

Original post by LadyDuda81509

so whenever we get into our house, really the only thing we are doing right away is painting and putting up crown molding...

in our dinning room we are doing crown molding with a chair rail...

we want a darker color on the bottom and a lighter one on top!

any idea of a good color scheme?
pictures...names of colors! anything would be helpful!

TIA!

What about a nice slate blue?

That's what I am doing my dining room.

you can do slate blue and white... or slate blue and another shade of blue or a whie/blue color.

Slate blue looks great with, white, black, dark brown.



ohh im thinking maybe like this?? would this be a slate blue??




yea that is slate blue!!
I'm doing a slate blue dining room with white trim. Then I'm looking into dark brown/black furniture (chairs will be dark but with a lighter cushion on it) to offset the light colors. LOVE LOVE LOVE this look!!!

I love the yellow too...my kitchen will be pale yellow. And I'm redoing my cabinets by sanding, priming andpaintng them dark brown.

Those colors in the 2nd pic look like a beige shade and then a beigey brownish greenish color to me. But you can def bring it and match the colors.
