Color schemes
08.09.2004
These are the colors (eyeball RGB approximations) I plan to use in my apartment. And. Yes. They're based on the 6'x4' painting by Caleb Larsen in my living room.
THE PLAN: The living room in mustard (except the wall the painting hangs on, milk white), w/ black olive trim & avocado venetian blinds. The kitchen in avocado w/ black olive trim & mustard venetian blinds plus cabinets in mustard & tomato red. The bedroom in black olive w/ black olive trim & tomato red venetian blinds & doors. The bathroom in powder blue w/ milk white trim. That's the idea, at least.
I'm open to design suggestions.

be careful with the red, it can become annoying really fast.... seriously. maybe tone it down a little. like more of a burnt color or adobe color like mexican paints could be interesting and go with your olive and powder scheme a little better.
i move back to michigan on the 24th and will start the decorations in my place

Yeah, the read I actually want is more Southwestern style in color. Just couldn't get the RGB values to get much closer to what I'd in mind. If you wanna come down some Saturday to help paint ...

becareful with your carpet! :) I like the color schemes, they look great.
I went to IKEA this weekend. They have some cool floor bed frames you'd like. They require no box spring! LOL! Check them out.

Carpet? Tsk, tsk, Andy. You know I only live in apartments w/ all hardwood floors. Tsk, tsk, indeed. And now that I've spent money on a box spring ... Doh!
