Slowly returning the books to their 'home'

The angle on this photo is terrible, but the phone's camera catches the color better this way.

The blue MUCH is too "oh, you have a baby boy! {cutesy hearts and flowers and puppies}" than what I really wanted. But, since I had been planning to use the same color in the master bed room, it's a good thing I found out now! I'll take this paint chip in when I get the paint for the MBR to make sure I don't make the same mistake.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have ten shelves of books to re-fill!

I dunno, I rather like the color. It's very soothing, and puts you in a reading frame of mind. Anything brighter or warmer would make it too distracting for me...but that's just how my grey matter works. When it DOES work... ;-)

Well, in person - like I said - it's very much the BABY blue (you know how I feel about that; you have one of my quilts!) The color I really wanted was much more subtle, and a bit more gray-colonial feeling. Ah, well, I'll get it right for the master BR, which is where it really counts ;-)

The color will probably balance out a little more once the books are all on the shelves, because the shadows they cast will help tone down the blue.

Can't wait to see what you do with your bedroom, though! Sounds like a pleasantly peaceful kind of color. There's a place for bright red and orange, but it's definitely not what I'd put where I sleep, or else I'd never get a wink! LOL
