Master bedroom is a pale aqua color, kitchen is a celery-ish green that turned out brighter than expected, DS1's room is dark navy blue, the hallway outside his room is gray and white stripes and we're about to paint the guestroom from gray to tan for the new kiddo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2227671 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 11:53:24 +0000 MaryM 2227671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our old house was more colorful (but all the main living areas were the same pale yellow), but our new house was painted cream inside right before it went on the market, so we didn't bother to repaint. Plus it's a one floor home with cathedral ceilings so it will be a pain to have it painted! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2227663 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 11:44:33 +0000 LuLu Mom 2227663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mostly neutral with a few pops here and there. The girls have bold colors, I have a green wall in my kitchen, and a goldish color hallway (the previous owner did it and I love it so I left it.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2227661 Mon, 06 Jul 2015 11:42:35 +0000 AmandaB8 2227661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our living room and dining room are painted a blue gray with a dark blue accent. Our upstairs hallway is the same gray. </p> <p>Nothing else has been painted yet :silly: :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2226800 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 22:52:48 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2226800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@GrapeCrush: yes, it's called Lap Pool Blue by Behr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2226798 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 22:52:13 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2226798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MommySLP: Dark Grey in family room is Dark Pewter by Behr, Light gray is French Silver by Behr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2226792 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 22:33:22 +0000 MommySLP 2226792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: what color/brand is your grey?

I think it's more interesting than beige colors but it's really easy to accessorize with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2226738 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 19:31:14 +0000 Greentea 2226738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Interesting. I don't think I would want neutrals, personally, unless that means bright white. I like white! Clean, minimalist, simple. I also like blonde natural woods. Anyhow...</p> <p>What green? I think a light green could be nice, symbolic of growth, etc., as long as it isn't very dark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors/page/2#post-2226733 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 19:19:06 +0000 GrapeCrush 2226733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ModernDayJibarita: I'm not a big fan of blue, but love the blue in the bedroom!

I almost went with something similar for the bathroom but opted for more of a blue because I was worried it'd cast a green shade onto my face every day while doing makeup. It's like a soft ocean cottage color, love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors#post-2226600 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 14:22:21 +0000 blackbird 2226600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: haha it is DEF lived in right now!

My house looks like a disaster and feel like I should go clean now....</p> <p>I love neutrals. We have a beige color on our walls and slightly darker beige on our baseboards. Our bathrooms are a dark green with a beige ceiling. I have a wall that would look awesome with a accent color but could never make up my mind!</p> <p>[attach=2785/15/nqyu8f.600x450.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors#post-2226450 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 08:31:25 +0000 blackbird 2226450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mix. Family room and kitchen have color. I really want to add a chair molding to the blue family room and have the bottom half be white to break it up. Just haven't gotten around to it. That taupe is in the entryway. We have softer (all cool) colors in the hall, bathrooms, and bedrooms </p> <p>I see I'm the one with the messy house today lol!</p> <p>[attach=618/15/nqytkd.450x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=618/15/nqytkf.450x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=618/15/nqytrt.600x450.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=618/15/nqytru.450x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors#post-2226442 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 08:02:13 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 2226442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kinda split. The base color is a light tan/beige but we have a yellowish bedroom, teal master bath, DD's room has trees painted on all the walls, my dining room is a deep burgundy and below the chair rail in my kitchen is the same burgundy, 1/2 bath is purple and #2's bedroom will have a big Starry Night mural the kids bath is/will be yellow and the new playroom is light blue with a big green and while mountain mural. Obv we don't shy away from color but it is as in your face as it sounds either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors#post-2226413 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 06:44:01 +0000 FannyMae 2226413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: GORGEOUS!!! your home looks so lovely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors#post-2226411 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 06:41:42 +0000 avivoca 2226411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did mostly blue-greens with some brighter colors thrown in. Our living room/hallway is painted Palladian Blue (BM) with a dark brown accent wall. The kitchen will be painted the same color once I get around to it. Our bedroom is a lighter blue with a bit of a gray undertone. Our lone full bath is painted a bright blue and I adore it (Acupolco Cliffs by Porter Paints). The others are random colors since we haven't painted over the old owner's colors yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-house-mostly-painted-neutral-or-bolder-colors#post-2226402 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 05:37:55 +0000 looch 2226402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrschickpea: what brand/color is that in the living room?
