So if you love it, I'd do it!</p> <p>I'd steer clear of chalkboard paint on a wall though, it's very dusty and I don't know how easily it can be painted over...I assume you need a primer? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937520 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 05:55:31 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 937520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: Cool. That does it. No chair rail. Thanks! I don't want future buyers to be confused when they enter.</p> <p>Plus I can always do something like this for chalkboard paint or just paint b one wall eventually. </p> [attach=3033/13/mq2ufm.197x132.images-1.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937515 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 05:43:32 +0000 honeybear 937515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I feel like chair rails look best when they are in houses that lean Victorian or colonial in style, you know? That way they make sense with the overall architecture, and not just the furniture. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937498 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 04:33:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 937498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: very pretty, adds character. </p> <p>@MUI831: here's the inspiration nursery that had DH thinking about using the room as the nursery. What do you think now? I am not 100% sold on the chair rail if it just stays a guest room. As a child's room, though, adding chalkboard paint would be neat.</p> <p>[attach=3033/13/mq2qjt.548x365.safari-nursery-3.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=3033/13/mq2qjv.500x600.0222ee1df66f6c73cce7e40e5de5a35f.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937364 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 23:37:29 +0000 luckypenny 937364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the blue.

I also love wainscoting too - I think it's more polished!

I usually think of a dining room when I hear chair rail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937217 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:54:17 +0000 anbanan15 937217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still prefer the blue. That particular green is a little too yellow for my personal taste. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937162 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:09:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 937162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found the colors used in real rooms. My blue is on the ceiling. </p> [attach=3033/13/mq25zo.205x280.M_CW_FrontHall_1088_tr1.jpeg] [attach=3033/13/mq25zq.205x280.C_GreenBedroom_0270_tr1.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937145 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 21:01:23 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 937145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@honeybear: The house is the open concept new cobstruction cookie cutter house. We have crown molding throughtout and have decorated it with transitional furniture. The guest bedroom furniture is dark wood, traditional with a sleigh bed. We have to upgrade the window treatnent in that room and we ate leaning toward plantation shutters to match the other two bedrooms. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937141 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:59:27 +0000 Pink Champagne 937141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would like the bottom color but a little less bright, maybe a touch more grey in it? That way it's a little but more neutral for when you eventually make it a nursery :)<br /> And I love chair rails, I think they look really cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937135 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:55:37 +0000 honeybear 937135@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I vote blue! The chair rail depends on the style of the house, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937133 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:55:24 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 937133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry about that had a bit of technical difficulties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937131 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:54:01 +0000 Mrs. J 937131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: I am not seeing the pictures? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937130 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:53:53 +0000 chopsuey 937130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't see colors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pick-a-paint#post-937122 Tue, 16 Jul 2013 20:50:12 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 937122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I agree on one color blue...our bedroom is Benjamin Moore Woodlawn Blue (first pic, circle). We are repainting the guest room from a neutral cream to a color. I like green or blue. We plan on adding a chair rail. I'd like to just use a lighter shade of the picked color above the rail. The guest room *may* be the nursery or child's room at some point.</p> <p>Which color do you like best? Do you like chair rails?</p> <p>[attach=3033/13/mq25bk.300x300.img-thing.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=3033/13/mq25bl.600x364.Swatchbox-3.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=3033/13/mq25bm.600x364.Swatchbox.jpeg] </p>
