What color is your living room? PIP if you can

I desperately need to paint mine. I actually really like the color, but there's this annoying quote on the wall and still a million holes because the previous owners had a few too many pictures and shelves.

We have a vaulted ceiling and I dread painting it so I've put it off as long as I can. Right now it's a goldish kind of color. IDK if I'll stick with it or not. The kitchen is the same color, but would be easy enough to paint if it would end up not matching. It will be for a living/dining room and hallway.

  • Ugly dirty cream color from the previous owners. I have the paint to make it a nice, pale buttery yellow. I need to brighten the room up since it's dim and snowy so much of the year.

    The color is Behr Disney Baby Bee Yellow.

  • Ours is neutral from when the previous owners painted the whole house the same beige.  I know that's better than crazy colors or wallpaper, but it drives me nuts how boring it is.  Our living/dining room also has vaulted ceilings, so it's the only room I've left beige b/c I just don't feel like painting it.  For that reason, I would choose something that you will not get sick of and that will match everything.

  • Ours is a light beige color - as is the rest of the main level and basement. ;)  We're boring. 

    I love it though - I really like the way the whit trim pops against it and we have chocolate furniture, so it's a great contrast. 

     

  • We have Benjamin Moore masada in the kitchen. In the living room/dining room I think we have this color from SW...if not this one, it's really close to that color. I feel like it's neutralish, but does add some warmth.

    We also have the vaulted ceilings and so those rooms were the last to paint too. We ended up hiring someone to paint it.

    One wall is chocolate brown rest of the room a creamish.
  • Interesting- lots of beige and yellow.

     

    Our's is teal! Lol. I can't remember the exact color, but it's pretty :) All of our furniture is dark/neutral. We get lots of compliments. Our house is on the market now and we are in the process of picking out colors for our new house. I still like color, but I think I'll find a happy-medium this time so I'm not so locked in.

  • We have greige as well. Its a neutral and can do so much with it. Most of our house with the exception of the kids bedrooms and playroom is various shades of greige (dark and lighter). Looks awesome against the white trim.

  • Mine's an ivory cream and then sponged and rolled with stain, not sure how to explain it and I don't have any pictures on this computer to show you, but I love it and so does everythign that comes.  We have a cathedral ceiling, but I painted that with the ivory cream and just sponged and rolled the stain up to the top of the wall and then we have wood trim for a border
  • Ralph Lauren "Crab Apple" - we have an open floor plan so that is the color of most of the house.

    Ours is Sherwin Williams Macadamia.  It is a warm beige color and I love the way it looks against our woodwork and trim.  The entire bottom floor, up the stairway and the upstairs hallway are this color.  We get a lot of compliments on it.  I couldn't find a good picture of the living room, but below is the kitchen with that color.

    I love your kitchen! We're halfway through our kitchen remodel now.

    Our living room is a light grey, and we have an accent wall that is sponge painted (or something like that - I forget the name of the technique) brown.

    Here are our colors (best pic I had was at Christmas time).  We have 3 red walls and a tan accent wall that the fireplace is on.  Red is nice but you have to remember to put a clear coat over it so all the scratches don't show and be able to wash it.

  • here's mine, but the paint almost exactly matches the sofa.  it went with the other sofa, which i replaced after my dog peed on it.  i did't repaint, b/c we're moving this summer.  i'll have to find the paint can and tell you what it is.  the name "ponytail" is coming mind and whatever it was, it was for sure Sherman Williams

  • Also, the curtains went with the old sofa too, and i didn't bother to replace them either for the same reason.

    We have one wall painted Spiced Pumpkin... sort of an almost burnt orange. I love it and I really need to get pictures of it!
