BEFORE: This is the ugliest color on earth! A fleshy peach color that ruled the WHOLE house!
So behind the bed I painted that wall a greenish/blue color from Pottery Barn called Wythe Blue.
Then I painted a taupe brown around the bottom of the rest of the room. It's a color called CityScape from the new Martha Stewart line at Home Depot. It's an amazing color! Can I just say that I love colors that can't decide what they are. For example this color is really taupey in my room but a warm grey in the bathroom! I also thought the paint went on really well and it's not very expensive either!
I did this damask stencil in our last house, but I really loved it so I did it again. The top color above CityScape is call Turtle Dove from BEHR and it is also my new love! It's this great blueish, green with even a hint of yellow. It's so vintage-y, it reminds me of the Palace of Versailles. I could look at it all day.
To do the stencil, apply the top color over the dark, to give it a "bleeding" effect.
More Wythe Blue

Beautiful. I love the colors in the bedspread as well.
Looks amazing! I'll have to check the swatch in person, cause I was thinking of something like that for my laundry room. I too suffer from peachy flesh builder walls, makes me want to throw up! Do you still want to get a b-log together?
Nice work! Love the whole look!!! Just think of all those who are suffering with their peachy walls....but not you :)
