beige or blue?

The question is just how will I know unless i apply 8 different coats of paint until I’m finally satisfied with the outcome? Well to help friends and family along the way with that very question, over the years I’ve been taking snapshots of their living spaces and applying color before ever having to step foot in a hardware store. In this case, my sister and her husband recently bought a new home. They love the space but are having a hard time deciding which colors work best. After hanging out by her fireplace, gingerly sipping my glass of Cabernet and moving a few pieces of new furniture around, I came to the conclusion that having heavy furniture against that wall just doesn’t accommodate the space best. Sitting adjacent to the kitchen, and being the very first wall you see coming up the stairs into their living space, I felt a bold splash of color and an artistic showcase of their family photography could be a good start at a conversation piece. This was nothing more than an experiment in color. Personally I like the Aqua and Chocolate. But then, they are really big right now. Click image to enlarge.
