First the room, then the house


Ok, after much fussing and cussing, I think I have narrowed down my choice of house paint color into two major groups, although I don't know why I really bother, considering that right now I am only still planning to paint my bedroom and not the entire house yet, so I think I just really have to focus on just deciding what bedroom paint colors to buy, or finagle from my uncle's shop.

I want my room to look relaxing but not depressing, lively but not loud, and creative without being artsy-fartsy. How to do that? I have no idea. But hey, I do have to start somewhere, right? Might as well start here, and like my initial plan, if it becomes a major fail here, at least only I get to see it, and promptly cover the ugly choice with a new one. I really should have been paying more attention to our creepy professor back in art class, I would have probably picked up a useful thing or two if I did, and I wouldn't have to worry about making my house look silly once I get to picking paint color ideas for it.

I think I'll stick to my preferred hues, shades of green, just to be on the safe side. I've always liked green and so far, whenever I do get to wear green or pick something out in that color, it's always a hit with people, so maybe it stands to reason that it would be a safe wall paint color for me to pick out as a dominant color for the entire house, although to be on the safe side, I'm going to try it out on my room first and see how it fares. Who knows, right? It could be just the color this house needs.
