You know, I thought of that. We have a print above the sofa that we really love. Mostly shades of peach but with a lot of shades of blues and greys and some shades of tan. I asked my son the other day if he saw any colors in there that would be a bit more subtle than what we have now. Maybe I'll look again.
I was looking at the homes for sale site last night, and realized that I think it's moldings that are dissatisfying to me. Nearly all the houses around here have white crown moldings so I'm sure I'm used to seeing them and my house is probably looking like an unframed picture in comparison. We've actually got small ones, but I followed the previous owner's pattern of painting them the same color as the wall. I think that's definitely the problem I'm having with the walls looking unfinished. Apart from the fact that they're unfinished of course. I've got some white paint, so I'll give it a shot and see if I like it.
I really want to finish the living room and get to our bedroom. I've had new linens for a couple of years, but was waiting to use them until the walls were the right colors.
Sigh. I still want to hire someone to do the walls in the rooms that are currently papered. Maybe I'll look into the cost. That's the most intimidating thing.
