I am in the process of looking for a Red myself! Jenny used Raisin Torte. Do a search she put up a picture. Let me know what you come up with. I am leaning toward Ralph Lauren Barn Red (which they don't carry swatches of anymore but you can call and get the formula for) I know someone that has it and it is beautiful!

Michelle, I LOVE red!! In fact, my LR and DR were supposed to be red, but then I fell in love with purple throw pillows and window treatments, and the red was history.
The colors I was leaning toward were BM Poppy and Holly Berry.

PS ~ I got your email, and I will reply as soon as I have more than 3 minutes to spend. I want to give it my undivided attention!

Jenn, GORGEOUS !!!

Anything in the purple or lavendar family just TICKLES my heart!

Very open and airy and the colors look beautiful together !!!!! Well done!

I LOVEEE hi-hats. Are they hard to do or expensive to have done? I dont think John would know how to do them, but if its not a pricey job, he also LOVEES Them and we may get them in a few rooms.

Thank you!!

Patrick did all the hi-hats himself after reading a Home Depot book, so I'd say no, they probably aren't hard to do!

Hunting Coat Red and Cottonwood.

Here's what the red looks like in a room:
