Effectively, I didn’t get a single factor achieved in my walk-in closet this weekend. It’s a vacation weekend right here within the U.S., and for a change, I put completely no strain on myself to get issues achieved, and I did so with zero guilt. I spent my weekend sitting at my desk within the studio (my favourite place in our home) updating the house tour page on my blog. So if you would like see the entire befores and afters of each room in our home in a single place, or get paint shade information, you’ll be able to take a look at that web page.
And I hadn’t even deliberate on being right here this morning. Because it’s a vacation, I had deliberate on spending this vacation sleeping in, adopted by a pleasant breakfast and possibly watching a film with Matt. However I used to be woke up simply earlier than 6:00am by loud thunder, brilliant lightening, and a great deal of rain pounding on the home windows as a thunderstorm rolled via. So I obtained up and went again to my glad place.
I’ve formally grow to be a morning individual, which is so unusual. All of my grownup life, I’ve been an evening owl. I might keep up till 2:00am or later and had a tough time making myself to go to mattress. Then morning would come, and I’d battle a lot to get my day began. However over this final 12 months, I’ve realized that my favourite time of day is definitely early morning, earlier than the solar comes up, when the home is darkish, the neighborhood is quiet and nonetheless, Matt remains to be sleeping, and I get an hour or two at my desk, with Cooper curled up at my ft, whereas I sit underneath the delicate glowing mild of the pendant mild above my desk. I really stay up for it each single night time after I go to mattress. Who’ve I grow to be? 😀
Anyway, this morning throughout these darkish, quiet hours at my desk, I performed round with some completely different colours for my closet island. I had deliberate on portray it the identical shade as the cupboards — Sherwin Williams Billowy Blue. I even purchased the paint for it since I had run out of paint whereas portray the cupboards. However a number of folks have recommended portray it an accent shade.
At first, I type of recoiled on the thought as a result of I assumed an accent shade would compete with the wallpaper. However this morning, I began contemplating it extra critically just because I believe it’d really spotlight the wallpaper reasonably than compete with it. So utilizing my picture editor, I picked out some colours from the primary giant flowers within the wallpaper and examined them out on a really tough mockup of the island.
First, right here’s what Billowy Breeze would appear like. Ignore the grey outlines. I actually used a line drawing of the island for the mockup. The precise island gained’t have any grey on it.
However right here’s a sampling of the colours that I picked out from these giant pink flowers. First up is a pink that appears prefer it has only a contact of purple in it…
Subsequent is a pink that’s a little bit extra distinguished within the wallpaper.
And that is essentially the most distinguished mild pink within the wallpaper.
However then I made a decision to strive the darkest pinkish pink shade from these large flowers.
This one can also be from the middle of the massive flowers, nevertheless it has a contact of orange to it.
That is the coralish/orange from the massive flowers, nevertheless it’s most likely my least favourite because it appears to combat with the pinks. And the pinks are essentially the most distinguished colours within the wallpaper.
And right here’s a lighter model of that shade, which can also be from the massive flowers, however isn’t as distinguished because the pinks.
I don’t know, y’all. I’ll love an accent shade in any case! And since this can be a walk-in closet, it doesn’t must be too severe, proper? I can have a little bit enjoyable with it. And naturally, it’s simply paint. If I don’t prefer it, I can at all times return to Billowy Breeze. Ought to I check out certainly one of these accent colours? And remember the fact that the countertop will likely be a fake marble, so it will likely be largely white. After which I’ll have the white flowery chandelier above the island. I believe I’m leaning in direction of an accent shade now!
Right here’s a side-by-side view of the Billowy Breeze and the accent shade that’s most likely my favourite.
What do you suppose? Ought to I persist with Billowy Breeze? Or ought to I’ve some enjoyable with it and do an accent shade?
