Dark Paint

I know I've only lived in my house for a little over a year now, but I'm already thinking repainting the walls. The kitchen, "great room", and bathroom are all currently painted with Glidden's "Sweet Wheat" - which, since their overhaul, is now a custom color. I choose it at the time because it was pretty neutral, it had a touch of peach, it wouldn't clash with the bathroom tile, and it matched a fleck of color in my old sofa. All pretty good reasons for choosing a color, and I do like it, but some days it looks a little band-aid-ish to me, and my eye has been wandering off to some much darker, deeper colors. . .



Warm Flannel Grey, Dark Mahogany, & Totally Teal - all from Glidden are just a few of the colors that have been dancing around in my head. . .

I've got way too many projects going on right on to repaint, but once the new room is finished I will have to put some thought into it.
