Santa Monica blue
I spent the evening painting my very long living room wall a very rich, jewel toned blue. I love it, but am not sure I love it with the beige color I have on the other walls. I may find a different color for the rest of the room. I think I'll hire someone to do that… lots more trim and doors to tape off. I'm not great with the taping, though this was probably my best effort to date.

new color scheme
So as I sat watching Sex and the City (the movie) I got inspired to introduce some color to my very beige life. I've been in my condo for three years, it's time to really make it something fun and creative ... like me. ;) Anyhoo.... when Carrie redecorated her apartment, the walls are painted this awesome blue and I'm thinking I might seek that color out and do the long wall in the house that color... That's 29 feet of blue!! But look how amazing it looks in her room...
I have all of the same coloring of furniture and etc, so I think this would totally work. I don't think I can go as bold to paint my whole room blue, but one big long wall I think might be cool. I'll have to see. I have always liked blue - probably my favorite color - but feel it's kind of "cold" as a color. But I think with moody lighting like in the photo above, it could be amazing and warm. I picked up a slew of paint chips today and will tape them to the wall to see which one suits the room. Ahhh... summer project!
I was surfing some design blogs and found this little complimentary "colors of summer" and thought that would be good inspiration for my room. This is a little more green than blue, but I still think the palette is a good one that would work for my room. Kick up the color a notch! Bye bye beige!
