White walls: Get thee behind me Satan!
A very good friend of mine moved into the apartment above mine a couple of weeks ago. More on that later, but in the meantime she's having fun decorating. Right now she has paint chips taped to her walls. I'm so jealous.
When I moved in three years ago, I painted the bedroom and bathroom, then eventually the kitchen. I've never painted the living room or the front hall, because I just didn't have the time or the money. Plus the landlord had left it freshly painted in Linen White.
I am so over it.
I've been really hemming and hawing over what direction to go with the living room. But in the meantime, I'm convinced I want to paint this front hallway in a deep rich color, like plum. That way, when you come out from the dark confines into the big, bright living room, it will feel open and inviting.
Plus the paint is peeling over the bathroom door on the left, and the walls are totally scuffed. So really. It's time.

Our walls are painted in Farrow & Ball Lime White..I think I'm over it as well, however as we will be selling within the next 4 years ;), neutral walls need to stay. I think!

I like the color the way it is. It looks very nice and calming. You should keep it like that. That is a beautiful home.
Working in the PA, NJ, DE and MD areas we've done some really nice home makeovers and it seems like more people are fixing up their homes than buying new ones nowadays.
Their main concern is definitely energy efficiency. Thanks for the article.
I agree with the above post. It's your home of course, but I don't see anything wrong with it the way it is. Very nice look.
It's been almost 8 months since we've seen a blog entry from Alex. If you're not going to do The Shelter Life blog anymore, why don't you just eliminate it?
LOL, you are so funny.
