Well, as winter approaches (it is already fall in full-swing up here in Ohio), we're trying to figure out which colors will make us feel warm and happy during the 5-6 months of grey skies and cold.
For the kitchen we're going with a yellow (it was blue--see previous pictures if you want to visualize it).
For the entrance way, hallway& living room, a neutral/light yellow tone so that we can continue to change the decor without being stuck.
And for our room, a grey-blue shade that's dark-ish (we are also going to add dark curtains conducive to sleeping as we live right beside a main road and our bedroom is closest to the road).
For the office/guest room/everything else room (and traditionally it has been the children's room) a brighter, fun, yellow and tangerine striped look. We'll see how this turns out. Hopefully not like a circus, but more like a fun, modern, but peaceful and warm place to hang out and read or exercise.
We're still trying to think of creative options for the bathroom, it has a wallpaper type backsplash all around the bottom half of the walls, so we need to try and combine with that or paint over it... Any suggestions would be fun to hear. We'll send pictures room by room. Though it may be a while before we finish things up.

Don't paint over the wall paper! The previous owners of our house in Georgia did that and it was such a PAIN to try and fix. I like your color ideas though!
Be careful with orange. It is not a peaceful color. And make sure you take into consideration your beautiful quilt in your color choice there. :)
We decided to paint the office/later kids'room a lemon grass yellow and summer field green and paint the blog page orange for fall instead.
Oh, and to coordinate with the BEAUTIFUL quilt, we're painting the bedroom a dark shade of green, calming but also conducive to sleep. And we talked to the guy about painting the bathroom, and he said there shouldn't be a problem since the bottom (wallpaper looking stuff) is backsplash and would just require a second coat of paint. We're also going to do some updating projects like getting all of the outlets and light-switches to match, and redoing the caulking as well as sealing the newly wooded floor in the bathroom.
Sounds like fun. I'm glad to know all the painting will be finished before my visit. :)I like the orange blog.
