Wow, there is fixing up a space and then there is starting from scratch. Oh my what a project you have going. I can't wait to see more pictures as you progress along. Thanks for sharing.

Yes I did find the article very interesting. Some of the information I had heard before, but there was tons of new stuff I would not have imagined. Thanks for sharing the link.

Can my Mother adopt you? I soooo need a sister that knows all of the stuff you talk about, as well as one that will tell me I made the right choice on a major home improvement item. I don't mind missing the mark on a couple cans of paint, but if I had made a bad choice on the flooring I would have died right there on the stop. Thanks for keeping me alive, lol.

Sherwin Williams is my go to brand also. We have had a contractor's account with them for years so I have a little extra incentive. We used their Empire Gold in my offices (formally the living room and dining room) and we love the way it looks with the same flooring as my sewing room. [ATTACH=CONFIG]596216[/ATTACH]

Thanks for all the great suggestions and advice, please keep 'em coming. I need all the help I can get.

That is some gorgeous color fun in your rooms. Nice that we speak the same color language (brands). They keep trying to get my old fan decks. LOL.

That is the color I have in my living room. I just love it, since my furniture is OD green and cranberry with cranberry carpet. I have an area rug that pulls the colors together.

I loved the green with the furniture. I wish I could change the color of my sewing studio but it is an open floor plans so I would have to paint the whole floor and no, it isn't worth it. I just put lots of fun things on the walls.

I painted mine white, then the ceiling green and the wood work green. I have no windows.

Certainly understandable. The warmth is something I crave after our long Maryland winters. I just repainted another bedroom (hubby calls it my sewing annex :) ). It's on the north side, and my kids lived at home, I let them choose their own room colors (within reason) . My boys always chose blue. Can you say "cold"? I repainted it a warm white called Cottage White. And now I love it!

I've had pink, sage and yellow. Right now it is a really pretty light shade of aqua.

After hours of looking at Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore, Home Depot (Behr) and a couple other sites and going over pictures of color after color, I decided you ladies/guys here on QB were on the right track with color suggestions. I narrowed my field down to these three paint colors, all Sherwin Williams.

With the blue/gray or blue/green shades in my head I went in search of bedding for the daybed that that has to stay in my sewing room. I started this morning about 6:30am and I finally placed an order about 15 minutes ago (it's now 6:23pm). As fate would have it none of my 3 paint colors above will work with the bedding, which is called aqua although it doesn't look like aqua on my computer screen.

Thank goodness for computerized paint color machines. When the bedding arrives I will take it down to the paint dealer and have them match the color. Can't wait to get this project finished so I can do what you're suppose to do in a sewing room...S E W...

Finished project pictures to come in about 2 weeks (hey I'm old and slow remember, lol)
