Back to color, the Parlor room

Now that we're "this close" to closing, I'm ready to play with color again. I'm feeling really good about that deep dark burgundy chosen for the bay window. I took some more photos of the entry room (the Parlor, the gallery, still working on names) and filled in that awful blue with the burgundy. Feels really good.

You can see on the right side is a part of that bay window. I was a bit nervous seeing such dark color for the entry, but I am loving this!

After you open the front door, this is the wall you see (enhanced by the dark burgundy border).

What's so funny, is that weird looking door to the left is another access to the pantry in the kitchen. I don't know who came up with that design element, or how I can use it to my advantage, but for now it just seems weird.

And just to see it all together again, here is that same wall but to the far left.

It's going to be so awsome having these walls showing off my beautiful paintings. It's weird though, I'm so happy looking at this beautiful purple color, that when I see the blue in real life, I'm shocked.

I've made up some colored boards with the paint that I'm leaning towards and can't wait to actually see it in the house rather than these images. I'm also glad that I went with this color palatte in here. It will be a good transition to the red kitchen. BTW, I don't think I'm going to change that red at all. I love it actually.

Ha! You can still see that hideous blue in this photo. And yeah, there's that pantry door on the left.
