STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

The HGTV website has a place where you can go to click on styles of decor that you like, or specific rooms that you want to tackle to get ideas. My friend found it very inspirational.

Is there any specific color scheme you'd like to try? Are you a neutral, cool or warm toned person?

I have a dark/medium french blue den/study that everybody seems to just LOVE! I had no idea it would look this great on the walls. Don't be afraid to try fun paint colors.

Or, if you are a little color shy, I like a colored white, if that makes any sense. The paint is basically white, with a hint of color to it, then you accesssorize in the color to bring it out. It's a cautious way to experiment with color.

Hmm, if you are going for a "not-so-colorful" look in your living room, since your dining room already has beautiful but saturated color, you have a few options. Personally I would do a beautiful taupe or a kind of tan color on the living room walls. This always looks so sophisticated and understated, and is not as boring as white or beige.....a very calm color.

or, you could go with a pastel color if that's your style, such as a light blue which would coordinate really well with your dining room.....
