it's wank material.

between this, the pillow thread, and an old thread i started about what position people sleep in, i'm trying to get as an accurate picture of orgers in their bedrooms as possible.

only joking. i'd like to paint my walls, but i can't choose a colour. i thought listening to what others have going on might help me decide.

I see.
What's your favourite colour? Are you a calm person? I ask because I find red or yellow or whatever as wall colours can get really disconcerting after a while. I used to have a room painted a kind of olive colour and that was beautiful, but for a bedroom I think a dark blue would be best. You have to keep a bedroom dark I think.

my favourite colour is white, but even i am bored by white walls. i am most assuredly not a calm person. so, darker colours are more calming? does Dulux do a range of acrylic + xanax?

whistle said:

mmmmm Xanax. I remember taking a Xanax once and had the time of my life making mushroom gravy. The feeling of satisfaction when I finished the gravy made me feel like I'd solved the problems of world hunger or something.

Apparently darker colours should be used in bedrooms because it helps even light sleepers drop off. Bright colours can reflect too much (sun, streetlights, the occasional passing by of a holy prophet or a pop star, missile blasts etc)

Insomniacs are recommended to have colours like midnight blue, pine green etc.

Terrible for filming home porn though, apparently.

Lavender.

ummm.....wood

thats fantastic!

Warm dark smoky grey. It's very cozy in my room.

JustErin said:

that sounds quite nice, and it's not something i would have thought of myself.

Light blue, royal blue, beige and dark brown

I'm sick of it,,,,I need a makeover.

That's my favourite combination. May I have your house?

Sounds pretty! My parents had their kitchen, family room, dining room and living room painted a light yellow color a couple of years ago. It looks really nice.

Boring eggshell white (same color that's on all the walls in this condo). When I get enough money saved up, I'm going to get everything repainted, and perhaps even get a nice border to put on top of the walls. It's a bit too plain in here for me. The walls need more color, or something.

Serious question and not to offend anyone who might have the whole Prince decor thing going.

What's the reaction you get from prospective partners??
Do they like it? Or are they like, "If we move in together this is gonna have to go"

Like for example, I can't get into doing that to my home, but if I did, my hubby would be like NO FUCKIN WAY.

Count me in on that sentiment as well

Fashion sense? Yes,,,,,decorating Sense? Not even close,,,,,the highest he could pull is accessible but tacky.

Nice.

I did the light above dark because my bedroom has a vaulted ceiling (which I hate, incidentally). I thought doing the walls dark at the bottom and light at the top would help make the ceiling look lower and the room look cozier.

I'm not sure it helped. But at least if I ever decide to sell the place, I won't be up on a tall ladder for days trying to cover red paint at the ceiling.
