The whole thing is going to be marble very soon. Marble subway tiles with 1" hexagon marble mosaic floor. Not sure what color I'll paint those walls, though - could be Frost, which was one of the ones on the dining room wall.<br /><br PENolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920921974302444898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124480884494186487.post-50249994950858318392012-10-19T17:18:18.372-04:002012-10-19T17:18:18.372-04:00Your place looks beautiful.

Good wisdom about painting some rooms a color you look good wearing ;) I recently changed my livingroom from the Benjamin Moore Hot Lips to a very pale whitish green: very restful and serene, and changed the scale of the furniture: smaller. I needed that magenta for about 3 years and wow we have some fab pix, you 'n me! I like to come home now to a sort of minimalist serenityMary Kathrynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124480884494186487.post-59908040392589847092012-10-07T17:46:17.204-04:002012-10-07T17:46:17.204-04:00I really love that soft wisteria color in the firs...I really love that soft wisteria color in the first group. Violet is the first chakra color, very relaxing-- especially when the room is lavender scented. <br /><br />A little painting tip: if the paint smell bothers you stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract, the cheap imitation stuff is ok for this. Even though most paints are low VOC these days, it's still a little paint-y smelling.
