Pages: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | (show all) Tommy and I painted this weekend!       #258556 - 04/17/06 05:57 PM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 We painted the living room a deep yellow and the dining room a pale sage green. We're thrilled since we were both so new at painting. Check it out: http://i3.tinypic.com/vr8rh0.jpg http://i3.tinypic.com/vr8sg5.jpg Next step is getting a neutral carpet colour!

I want to paint my living room that color! -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Lovely!       #258585 - 04/18/06 02:20 AM Edit Reply Quote cailin Reged: 08/12/04 Posts: 3563 Loc: Dublin, Ireland I have that yellow in my hallway (it's called Egyptian sand over here) and I love it, it's really sunny. I want to paint a room that shade of green too but can't decide exactly. So great choices! For the carpet I would go for a caramel colour, if you like I can post a pic of what mine looks like with the yellow, but it would match the green really well too. -------------------- S.

When I first started I was just using primer so I didn't put down any drop cloths.......of course I spilled the paint on the carpet within the first 5 minutes. But it's water based so it came out with a lot of scrubbing.

Carpet probably won't be installed for a while though. It's so expensive to carpet an entire apartment!!!

The sage-green is sublime. Isn't yellow challenging? When you said yellow, I initially thought, "oh no, not 'flight of the bumblebee!'" When you said sage green, I prayed, "not hospital pants!" You avoided both icky tones. Actually, I really like the yellow--it's nice, like melted butter on popcorn or even ghee. Not annoying at all, and not too chipper or pastey. Kate.

Yes yellow is super challenging. Two of the living rooms of previous friends were both a lemon yellow and I wasn't found of how bright it was. This one is a turmeric colour so I love it. The green isa super pale colour and is kinda gteyish -- not at all a tacky green.

I have the same yellow in my living room, and sage green in my bathroom, although mine is a little more palm color and yours looks a little more gray. regardless I think you have good taste in colors, because I have picked them myself -------------------- Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator     Re: Tommy and I painted this weekend!       #258924 - 04/19/06 09:43 AM Edit Reply Quote Sara-Sage Reged: 02/04/04 Posts: 5508 ha ha ha, that's TOO FUNNY!
