There is not a lot of natural light in my bedroom, which is also small. My furniture is black, my duvet is pale grey, and my art has gilded frames. What do I do?!

I was wanting to do this but fearful that it would get dirty and I thought flat/matte paint didn't clean up well- not that wash my walls often anyway-lol! Can you please comment on your thought between flat/matte and eggshell sheens. Thanks! I'm enjoying your blog!Tristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16410375973360872942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-32418160926583751582013-06-14T13:22:44.515-04:002013-06-14T13:22:44.515-04:00Hello!

I've done a lot of it too and have learned a few tips here and there from experience.<br /><br />Here's another tip I give my clients:<br />Rather than painting test spots of paint on your walls, buy a large foam board and paint it in the colors you're considering painting your room. Place it around the room at different times of the day and in all the different lighting conditions that room will experience. That way if you can't get to the painting right away (or you don't want to have a "paint tester" wall when company's coming!) you'll still be able to see/test the colors in your room.<br /><br />You can make a "test paint board" for every color you're considering.<br /><br />The key, as you mentioned is NOT to choose your color in the store under their lighting...which 99% of the time is florescent! <br /><br />LOVE LOVE LOVE your home! So glad I found your blog. And by the way I too am a neutral-lovin' gal. Or as I say "I'm a neutraphile" :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1468383212336747161.post-16830832321305584642012-08-11T18:47:19.101-04:002012-08-11T18:47:19.101-04:00thanks for all the great info.

I had it mixed in sw relaxed khaki and saved over the entire home about $500.00 in difference per gallon cost.<br /><br /> I am going to try the Behr creamy white in semi gloss. Love how yours looks. I have a bed begging to be painted so Home Depot, here I come:)<br /><br />thanks again- sorry didnt mean to write a book as my comment.Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.com
