Your mantel idea is cute. What if you put a really beautiful large seagrass basket in the opening for texture or a pretty large potted plant? Have fun picking the color.

I decided to go with the same color, BM simply white throughout. Then one day I decided to paint my husbands office black. So go figure. I guess in the end you have to live with it so do what you like!<br /><br />~janetthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579907652198630697.post-74223297048115181452010-04-05T12:47:14.389-05:002010-04-05T12:47:14.389-05:00I have come full circle on paint colors!

I love the soft pink tulips in the silver julep cup; very elegant. <br /><br />If your rooms are all joined I tend to like consistency of color. However you could break it up using batten or bead board half way up. Either way, you've got a great eye so I'm sure it will look wonderful. <br /><br />DeborahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579907652198630697.post-20163783033449964682010-04-05T08:33:20.440-05:002010-04-05T08:33:20.440-05:00Thank you everyone for your wonderful suggestions!...Thank you everyone for your wonderful suggestions!

I myself am a HUGE fan of flow. I love easy on the eye movement of color from one room to another. I basically use 2 paint strips from SW and stick with the family on those colors. So...I have used every shade on the Whole Wheat strip from Baguette (love the name) to Antiue White...and the Oyster Bay strip from Rreat to Sea Salt...and the flow is so perfect..I have enough color but enough harmony.<br /><br />Cheers~<br />eMegandvd@Beauty in the Attempthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06805696515123695246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8579907652198630697.post-14515908953225297382010-04-03T23:45:09.751-05:002010-04-03T23:45:09.751-05:00My vote is go with color, but I know what you mean...My vote is go with color, but I know what you mean about wanting more flow. Sadly, I think the era of having different bold/rich colors is being replaced with neutral colors that make the home flow. GREAT...that means I need to repaint the whole house!
