You can imagine how I feel about that!<br /><br />Warmly,<br />GenevieveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728035335921868151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-10126663922336867052010-05-11T17:22:51.362-07:002010-05-11T17:22:51.362-07:00Hi Judy,
You are completely 'on trend' wi...Hi Judy,<br /><br />You are completely 'on trend' with your bedroom color choices of green and blue. Blue is considered classic and green falls into the 'new neutrals', colors found naturally in the environment. Other colors in this group are warm browns and light sand. Just stay away from yellowish-greens. I can say from experience that it's not flattering to any skin tone! <br /><br />Warmly, GenevieveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728035335921868151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-32736009267845190462010-05-11T09:03:05.975-07:002010-05-11T09:03:05.975-07:00Hi Genevieve :)

I just finished catching up and realized that I hadn't been by for far too long. <br /><br />The room I would most like to redo is my living room. It's way too packed with furniture, but I can't bring myself to get rid of anything LOL I think I need an antique intervention ;)<br /><br />xoxo,<br />rueRuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18127064683340688898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-83254037629470833052010-05-10T08:22:19.686-07:002010-05-10T08:22:19.686-07:00I'd love to re-do my master bedroom. A few yea...I'd love to re-do my master bedroom. A few years ago I "experimented" with painting the trim a dark colour. It is a dark olive green and the walls are a lighter moss green. I hated it almost right away. I have been putting off re-painting because it will be a ton of work to turn the trim back to white. Also the bedroom always seems to come last. All the furniture is hand-me-downs, garage sale and secondhand and nothing really matches very well. If I had tons of money I'd hire someone to come in and re-do the whole room.Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05635189855014852222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-63180281614199799922010-05-10T06:08:03.591-07:002010-05-10T06:08:03.591-07:00Of course!

I'm such a sloppy painter too.<br /><br />What are new colors for bedrooms these days? I still like a light blue or green.

It's always so nice to hear from you...Hi Judy,<br /><br />It's always so nice to hear from you! And since you asked, paint comes first, then carpet. Curtains and bedspread can happen at the same time or in any order that's easiest for you. Since the bed is the room's focal point, I usually get that done first, then work on curtains. Let me know what you decide to do.<br /><br />Cheers, GenevieveAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13728035335921868151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-7464234578953770622010-05-09T15:22:44.807-07:002010-05-09T15:22:44.807-07:00My guest room needs help... mostly cleaned out.

I suppose I need to start with new carpet, then paint, and new bedspread and curtains.<br /><br />Do you agree carpet would be first decision?Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983782694330464508noreply@blogger.com
