Crafty: Painting the apartment

Oh no…is it really time to paint our apartment? For the last year, we’ve been living with the “budget beige” color that came with the place. Since we’re probably not moving anytime soon, it is time to start thinking about painting.

Both Rob and I are stubborn and artistic. This is a fatal combination when it comes to choosing paint colors. In San Luis Obispo, we debated over colors for the living room for two years. Finally, we agreed on a lovely green for the living room and orange for the kitchen….and promptly moved to San Francisco a few month’s later!

Here’s one option I came up with from Behr for the living room. That photo is a bit outdated, but the basic layout is the same. Our new rug is green…maybe this would be too much green?

For the bedroom, we have a blue and white porcelain with celadon color scheme. Maybe something along these lines would work?

Ugggg. I hate picking paint colors! And I am totally perplexed about all this crazy San Francisco molding. If you find any good options, let me know!
