Howdoyaall Like the New Color??
I couldn’t stand the old drab yellow… http://www.flickr.com/photos/39334869@N04/4289892201/in/photostream/ Points for discussion: *DIBS is a jerk *The turquoise vs. a deeper blue *White moldings *Excellent taste in decorating PS I used Glidden true Turquoise that I got from HD. Amazingly it was $15 a gallon and was as good as painting with Benj Moore, Sherwin Williams…

vinca, that’s an oil reproduction of “A Good Book” by a french artist of the early 1900s.
Every Victorian mantle needs a nude over it!!!!
i think it’s beautful. reminds me of the turquoise room bunny williams did for the kips bay designer showhouse last year, which was masterful.
I love the turq. I thought it would look too cold but it looks very light and airy. But the furniture and carpet now seem a bit too dark. Any plans dibs?
From the photos, I preferred the yellow, which looked warmer and more interactive with your furniture. But nice job, regardless. A new coat of paint, especially in bolder, brighter colors, always lifts my spirits. This turquoise looks very much like a Tiffany blue on my screen. Is that true? Is there a reason we can’t discuss the painting over the mantel? It might aid a discussion about whether DIBS is a jerk…
Trust me Kens, it took a long time to sell myself on this. Darker blue, a dark red or even a deeper yellow were all possibilities but I didn’t want it to feel “heavy” and “Victorian” or in the case of a blue, too “early American Williamsburg.”
I got a deep mango yellow in Philly and love it but don’t need to see it everywhere.
Dahling, take me to Tiffany’s!
DIBS;
Nice!
The original is actually less striking and more drab in real life.
The trim is Benj Moore Marble White which is definitely an off-white.
I like it but I have a feeling a deeper blue would look better. This is a little too bright for my taste.
