Picking paints

Beauti Tone Bedroom with Loving It Apparently, I'm  not the only one who's loving red these days. When I  got images from the spring colour pallette of Home Hardware's paint line, Beauti Tone, the one at the left jumped out at me. It features a confident red called Loving It. I do love the warm, rich shade and especially like the way the crisp white bed linens stand out against it.  

Several  rooms in my house (aka the Hodge Podge Lodge) need painting this spring, which means I've got to pick some paint colours soon-est. I'm really leaning toward strong colours like this red. But wait, wait, wait. I also love the soft, restfull scheme in the bedroom shot below, which features a shade called Business Suit.

 

I've got to stop dithering and pick some paints. I'm tempted to ask my friend, designer William MacDonald, to help me out. But I have a feeling he'd just tell me to stop dithering and pick some paints! What to do, what to do? And no, choosing beige throughout is not an option!!!!

 

If painting is on your project list, you might want to check out the ideas and tips on the Home Hardware website.
