It wasn't stressful so much as just too dark for me. I needed something brighter that would reflect more light. You know how I get on dreary days. My house needs COLOR.<BR/>Red is also the color of passion. :-) Remind Jason about that.<BR/>And the color I suggested isn't blood red or dark mauve...more like...well, a sweet orange-y ripe tomato with stark white contrast.<BR/><BR/>I'm sure it will turn out GREAT however you choose to do it. If I redid that wall, I'd do the bright color, white on ALL wood, and one or two LARGE frames hanging above the hearth, with nothing actually on the hearth. :-) I'd put the photos in the hall. <BR/><BR/>But don't look at my hall. It needs a redo. I ran out of stamina after doing all of the doors.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399663278970048427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040472041291673549.post-17321899461203270582008-11-30T10:57:00.000-06:002008-11-30T10:57:00.000-06:00I'm going for bright and cheerful, but have always...I'm going for bright and cheerful, but have always feared the "red" shades. I once read that red can raise the stress level of the room...or something like that. Sun-Kissed, didn't you say something about that once when you had a shade of red in your living room?Jerri Dalrymplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06159846491370284803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6040472041291673549.post-90498428735996993942008-11-30T08:29:00.000-06:002008-11-30T08:29:00.000-06:00Pretty!!I love yellow.

And I'd paint ALL of the wood trim, shelves, etc white. The contrast would be beautiful. <BR/>But it depends on the feeling/ look you are going for. Orange/ Reddish would be bright and cheerful. Green would be more soothing. <BR/>I'm going to email you a pic of the color I like.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03399663278970048427noreply@blogger.com
