Choices and Changes

 If and only if the price is right, I am wanting to get my dining room re-painted.  I like the red, but I am tired of it.  According to two decorators I know, they say red is OUT.

I would love to be trendy and do some sort of blue/green/gray tone, but I think the safe route would be a tan/nuetral color.  We had the living room and dining room painted Latte in January and I LOVE it!!!!  I THINK I am going to do the dining room in the color one step up from that called Hopsack.

I think it'll look really sharp, Laurie!

P.S. Why don't you use some of the colors you mentioned and create some big art?!

Could you post a picture of your living room? We are about to close on a new house and I have latte picked out as our bedroom color. Would love to see it on the wall :)

We just painted almost our entire house "kilim beige" from that same strip. I think any of those colors would look great in your dining room. :)

Love those color choices--Good luck! We painted our dining room last weekend (SW Dapper Tan, 125%, I think...a shade darker than the Dapper Tan on the strip), and I was happy with the change!

We painted our kitchen Sherwin Williams "Sea Salt." It looks green/gray on the card, but it's a beautiful blue gray on the walls, and looks so pretty with everything. I'm now wishing I had painted our whole house that color. I love how paint can change a room.

I changed our dining room from red to gray. It took me 5 tries to get the right shade of gray, because a lot of grays turn out looking light blue. A very neutral and pretty gray is Mega Greige by Sherwin Williams. That was the one that finally worked and I love it!! Hope you do some before/after shots. :)

Our bedroom is painted hopsack and I love it! It is a very soft and calming beige. It pairs well with blues and teals.

Laurie, my house is painted Latte and my dining room is painted Hopsack! How funny! I love it but I have been obsesssed with the HGTV show Fixer Upper and now I want to paint everything gray (which would not go with anything I own and is a very bad idea according to my husband. Llol!!!)
