Living Room & Study
The paper in the living room (downstairs) is actually pure ivory with a black geometric design. It doesn't look nearly as greenish-yellow as this photo shows. And if you may think that these 2 patterns are crazy together, you're right. But I'm keeping the patterns on the side walls so that when you look at it head on, there will be symmetry with the back walls (which, btw, will be lightly colored a very neutral tan) all being the same color.
Now, I'm not trying to insult anyone because Lord knows I do this to all my houses (real and mini)... it drives me nuts after I finish building something, then load it up with furniture, and finally take a step back and - gasp - every room is a different color. What was I thinking? Shouldn't there be a common thread in style and color? My last house had a blue dining room with Victorian furnishings, a red living room with a mixture of modern and older furniture, a gold kitchen with modern appliances, and very fluffy pink bed and bathroom with country furniture. Really?!
Still, we really can't limit ourselves can we? There's so much beautiful stuff out there and we want to try and cram it all in to just one house. Anyway... I blather on.
The finishes of wood furniture will be in the same color family. I have this horror of mixing wood colors (oak with cherry with pine). And the floors will all match as well.
