He says 'But what if we try to sell the house?' and I say 'Are we moving then?' and then he says 'No.' This conversation goes round in circles! I want to challenge people's ideas that all rooms should be light bright and airy. What is a bedroom if not for sleeping and being cozy in? Toying with the idea of making my office dark too...Greerhttp://peacheydesign.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-59690446255513878932011-03-14T14:17:56.887-05:002011-03-14T14:17:56.887-05:00I think white rooms can be beautiful, but personal...I think white rooms can be beautiful, but personally, I think nothing compares to the glamor and sexiness of a dark walled room. Your examples are gorgeous. My office will definitely have a deep, dark hue on the wall. And I'm really pushing for something dark in the kitchen. My husband wants lighter walls in the bedroom, so I think I'll have to compromise somewhere... (We've yet to buy a house, so this is all in my head right now.)Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09673896395330316583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4296235624601130259.post-5978577817872443942011-03-14T14:17:40.488-05:002011-03-14T14:17:40.488-05:00I'm dying to paint my bedroom black.
