Yeah well this "Swiss Mocha" is a neutral color that we hate. The fact we had to hire someone to come in to repaint a brand new place was a drawback. When your walls are basically the color of beach sand, it doesn't do anything to lighten the inside of the house. It looks like they took the same paint they used on the outside of the house and used it inside. Yuck.
Right now this is what we are looking to paint up. We're leaving the Guest room/associated bathroom and closet, and laundry room the current ugly color since they are not main rooms and we're not using them to often.
Livingroom and diningroom - medium green flat. Peter's idea. He wants a flat that doesn't reflect light so he can set up his home theater system with projector. I am however putting a white ceiling into the vaulted ceiling in the diningroom for the sake of lightening that up a bit. If we ever go to sell (Don't see that happening for 20 years at least) we'll have it repainted off-white before we put it on the market.
Entry, hallways, my studio, associated bathroom, kitchen - Cream/off white. With gloss white ceilings. Toying with the idea of having Celtic knotwork and Celtic dragons stenciled onto the entry ceiling and around the doorways in the entryway in green and metallic gold. (The entry is round and reminds you of the inside of a castle turret with 20ft ceiling)
Peter's Office and associated bathroom - white or off-white, depends on what he finds when we look at paint swatches.
Master Bedroom - warm tone off-white
Master Bathroom - Burgundy/wine w/gold accents (Again will repaint it to off white if we go to sell at some point.) Of course Peter hasn't given me his input on this yet either. This could change. Of course if he had his way the entire house would be green inside. (EEWWWWWW)
The kitchen already has green countertops in some kind of cultured stone. It looks beautiful. I'm going to find some pendant lamp adaptors that screw into the recessed lighting over the one counter and the island and put green glass globe shades on them. I found them at Lowes online, so that's probably where I will end up getting them. The beauty of this of course is that I can unscrew these and just have the recessed lighting if we ever decide to sell the place.
