paint the walls in my house lovely, vibrant colors (read all 7 entries…)
laundry room

Once again, a few hours of painting took the space from purely utilitarian to perfectly blissful. Previous color: beige.

I later added a $3 piece wall decor assembled from a calendar of iconic vintage advertisements purchased mid-January, paperclips, and string.

For the record, you can buy cute paperclips on a string (or maybe the string/wire isn’t included) for $10 on UrbanOutfitters.com…

...but that’s more than a tad ridiculous.

Love

the vivid lavendar/purple (if my monitor is correct). I believe in very strong colors around me except in the bedroom. I have a deep yellow in there that is a hue about the color of the stella d’oro daylily.

My living room is in the midst of a remodel and it is now turquoise and will be still when we are done. My dining room is a very deep coral (some will call it red) and we have wonderful parties and get-togethers in that room. My kitchen is lemon yellow; the hall spring green; the downstairs bathroom is almost terra cotta; the upstairs hall is the color of a chocolate milkshake; my guest room and my upstairs bath are some green color called Pompeiian (deep bluish green); the library is sky blue and my husband’s art studio is verbena. The new living room ceiling is copper metallic, and the dining room ceiling is gold. I don’t have a white ceiling in my house except in the coal room in my basement.

My laundry/office is not painted. I cannot decide on what color to go with. I know, I know, it IS ironic. The walls and sloped ceiling are done in beadboard and I’ve left them in natural. I’m leaning toward an emerald green since it is my favorite color and then I dally with the idea of hot pink. (I read years ago that hot pink is a relaxing color). I guess I’m not ready to commit quite yet!

I love it!!

I love the sound of your home!! It must be gorgeous. I also like that you said you have great parties / gatherings in it. I believe that one of the best parts of having a space is sharing it with friends and family.

Emerald is beautiful! I wasn’t planning on painting the laundry room, but had some paint leftover from the half bath. I used that on a few of the walls, and painted the rest a shade darker. I’ve never spent more time than necessary in my laundry room before, but now I moved my steamer into it and have been peacefully/happily working on steaming laundry in it.

Next week, I’m having the living room area painted professionally (I’m not brave enough to tackle a 2 story ceiling, loft area, and other bits of unique architecture… esp since the painting projects I posted on 43things have been my first and far from perfect). That’ll make beige and brown a minority color in my home… and I’ll eventually save up the money and find the time to finish it.

This is a party house!

I’ve lived here for 26 years and I know we have had at least a party a year. For the last 10 years we’ve hosted a gathering every month, we call the 3rd Thursday, which is a group of folks who want to work on themselves by setting goals. I get out my china and fix a meal for company and then we read a chapter in whatever book we’re on. Right now that is Peter Walsh’s It’s All Too Much! a book about clutter.

I don’t think my house is gorgeous so much as comfortable, fun, and interesting. It’s 125 years old and was once a farm house. This city grew up around it and now it sits way back from the street so we have a small back yard we’ve made into a courtyard with brick over much of the area, a tiny sideyard and a big front yard.

I saw your paint job and I don’t think it looked bad. My hall is about the same color as your bathroom and my husband’s art studio is about the same as your laundry. Isn’t it funny how a change of wall color makes you want to stay in the room? Our LR was yellow-flowered wallpaper and very formal when we painted the walls turquoise. Everyone gravitates there because it is very soothing and comfortable. And, 125 years ago it was the same color just a few shades lighter.

Two storey ceilings are not something I’d want to tackle. We have scaffolding that we use on our regular 10 foot ceilings and I hate getting up on the ladders.

Whether you paint or you get pros, enjoy the feathering of your nest.

It’s beautiful!! You must have a very strong vision in your mind to see such bright colours coming together like that.

Does it make you enjoy doing your laundry more?? Mine is like a dungeon!!

thank you!

I wish I had a vision – but I’ve just randomly been picking colors :-)

It really, really does make laundry more fun. I’d never stayed in the room to fold or steam laundry before, but I did today and enjoyed it!

JMoMimzey is happy

i love it!

I wish I could paint a room an awesome color like that!

it makes such a difference

thank you!

I’m glad I got brave enough to paint. now I’m wondering why I put it off for so long…

Hyacinth Girl You can't wait for inspiration. You have to go after it with a club.

Looks gorgeous! I love the vivid purple!
