BLUE!
Vicki and I painted the bathroom yesterday. It was so exciting. And so BLUE!!!
This is actually the first room I've ever painted myself. I've never painted any of the rentals I've lived in (although I did put up a photo mural in one apartment). So not having much experience in this kind of thing, it's been really difficult to pick colors. I'm used to picking colors for a business card, or a painting, or my clothes. But living inside of a color is just entirely different.
I've been doing lots of research to try to find some inspiration. The idea for this came from a tiny picture in Dwell magazine. I've also always wanted to paint something like a movie blue screen used for chroma key compositing effects. I figured this was a room I wouldn't be living in all the time so if the color was too intense, it wouldn't necessarily get on my nerves.
Comments
as far as colors, I would suggest not using a scarlet red. I painted an office this color. Just being in there completely burned out my ability to see red. Everything looked brown. It hurt my head after awhile too. So yeah, suggesting a negatory on the scarlet... unless you like that sort of thing.
