Re: [JFC]: Changing Rooms ~ Progress Report #2 & some advice requested

[Morguena]

Hi Louise,

I am constantly decorating and redecorating even though I've switched careers  I'd love a picture of the room and then this decorating advice might turn out to be all wrong.

If there is no natural break where wall meets ceiling, then I would 'pale' out the paint and have it fade to white somewhere in the 'curve' area.  If your ceilings are regular height -about 7 feet - any color tends to close in the room and make it feel smaller.

To keep blue from being 'cold' you may want to glaze the room and create a couple of layers, perhaps a warm blue over a light yellow under coat.  Most of my house ended up with a glaze layer over the base coats, because it lends depth and warmth to the walls.  It's ridiculously easy to do, just get a good DYI book and jump to.

As for the PC, if you can do without it, get it away from the work site!  I have two dead computers that I couldn't 'do without' during flood repairs, and due to drywall and plaster dust, now I am doing without them permanently (well at least until the DS repairs them and networks the house)

good luck.
