Festy,
Happy painting!! Gonna post a pic of the completed job? I'm not... the room's empty!
Good luck with your 5k tomorrow. Paul and I do a 10k every labor day, but I don't run it!
I'm not sure on the color yet. I wanted to do a really soft violet, but Paul thinks any male visitors may find the room too "girly." So, I think we're going to try to pick something out together tonight. The thing is, this room will be more "my room" than his, since it will have my desk and art supplies in it, so I have a little more say than he does!
The baby's room... haha. I've had those colors chosen since we moved in! We won't paint until we're pregnant (but I'd like to NOW, since I don't wanna be breathing in those fumes preggo), but we pretty much know how we want everything to be in that room already.
I've always used Behr paints and I really like the way the color comes up the same on the wall as it does on the sample. I know a lot of people here at PS use Ben Moore, but I've never given them a shot. Plus, Home Depot has a rebate of $5 on a gallon of Behr right now. The baby's room will be Sweet Georgia Brown (the color of a brown paper bag) on the top part (we'll put up chair rail about 24-36" from the ceiling all around the room) and will be something similar to Winter Surf (a soft blue/green) along the remainder. That color may change, depending on the shade of green that's in our bedding (I'm really, really wanting the Bunny Meadow from Kids Line, and if we get that, this color blue/green is too colorful, as the colors in the bedding is much more muted... I'd need more like a yellow green or a pale olive). Marina Isle is another really great color for a baby's room, I think. It would need a more toned down beige though.
Anyway, I digress... we have no idea what color the guest room will be. This is why it's been on the waiting list for 11 months! I really want that room to at least be painted before we're pregnant and I'm hoping I only have a couple of non-pregnant weekends left for a long time!
I kind of like the periwinkle colors... blue with some purple in it. I don't know. I think the bedding will be black and white (I have a thing for blacks, whites and grays in abstract or geometrical schemes). But since we don't have a bed yet, I've not thought that far!
Wanna help me decide?
I like Twilight Pearl http://www.behr.com/Behr/home#vgnextoid=6bd8ea6621ca5110VgnVCM1000008119fea9RCRD;channel=EXPLORE;view=14
And I like sweet petal (but this is WAY too "girly" for Paul to agree with):

Blast! Those look like the same link!
Nevermind...
I'm off to pull down border now (get this: it's old men golfers! GOLFERS!!!). The room used to be an office for the previous owners.
