My entryway is colourwashed. Yellow on the bottom,
dusty rose on top, making it all look like a pale
terracotta colour. Ceiling is pine panels and trim is
hunter green. Bathroom is colour washed with green
over cream on the bottom half of the walls and plain
cream on the bottom. Small strip of wood separating
the two, painted hunter green. Same green on the
baseboards and window trim.

Red? I have red, too. Living room/dining room is red.
Goes well with the original hardwood floors that we
uncovered in January.

Our kitchen ceiling is not white, but it's not just
that we painted it another colour. We originally
wanted a tin ceiling but settled for painting textured
wallpaper instead and putting it on the ceiling in
small panels. Andy has painted it to look like aged
copper. Very nice. Kitchen is the only room with white
walls. Has hunter green trim. Yes, green trim
everywhere in the house. Provides a nice continuity
from room to room.

Sheryll, who did almost none of the painting herself
but left that to Andy
