apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

behr 'aqua breeze'

i love that bedframe! where is it from??

White linen can't remember who makes it (from Home Depot) is a beautiful white that makes me happy.

Pink makes me happy, but I'm not ready to paint the walls with it...

Butter yellow! Nice with teak, walnut, black, white, primary or subdued reds and blues, 40's and 50' stuff, modern art... everything! Makes any room sunny, regarding of the weather. Much appreciated here in Quebec where we have a LOT of dreary weather.

Practically acts like a neutral. Tried to live without it... put other colors on my walls... came back to it. I don't have it all over, but in my main spaces, it's my absolute chouchou.

Yellow. Not too pale.

I painted a former bedroom a very pale purple that was practically white.

The walls had a lovely glow to them, and it secretly pleased me that if a guy moved in next, he probably would have no idea his room was purple ;)

Bright red. My room has a bright red wall behind my bed, and the rest are a tan/linen color. It makes me happy.

My big red corduroy couch also makes me happy.

Sherwin Williams' 'Dupioni' and 'Milk Pail' from their Martha Stewart collection. I've used these colors in 3 different bedrooms/bathrooms in 3 different houses. These colors still make me feel serene and happy every day :)

btw, 'Dupioni' and 'Milk Pail' are shades of pale blue/green-they remind me of the color of blue sea glass.

I recently painted my bedroom a very similar color! I was hoping for more of a purple hue when I bought it, but was very very happy with the results!

I want to know where the bed is from too! Love it!

I'm a green fan, & will always have a green room in my house (usually a pale version)

Hey, do those shelf units slide in and out of the headboard? If so, super design!

sudlow jewlery- thats an ikea malm bed with the 3 piece headboard shelf, and the shelfs do slide in and out.

we painted our bedroom a light gray-blue and i LOVE it, waking up to it is so relaxing! that was the start of my obsession with gray!

The bed is Ikea's malm design, which Ikea still makes but no longer in white.

I believe the bed is IKEA : MALM with the sliding headboard behind it...?

And yes, the shelves slide into the headboard.

hey bepsf - i too love pink but can't commit to an all out intense version of it. just found Benjamin Moore White Zinfandel - very very white w/ a hint of pink (does NOT read peach or beige). i'm about to do the foyer w/ it.

Tiffany blue.

my "blueberry muffin" bedroom walls and "Green Tea" kitchen make me happy.

Pink.

A pale blue.:)

Thanks TAMom - I'm considering repainting a bathroom and a nice pale pink like that would be rather fun I think.

Ralph Lauren's Architectural Cream, which in my bedroom looks like a soft khaki-gray. Makes me melt.

I love different shades of grey, as well as darker blues. I have a friend who hates red because she thinks it's overused in design, so I'm always trying to incorporate red into whatever I do, just to irk her :)

I just painted my new bedroom a crisp blue from Behr called Lively Tune. I'm obsessed. I was all set to hang things on the walls, but I have yet to hang anything because I don't want to break up the expanse of gorgeous cooling blue. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I lik ethe color but the placement of the shelf and the picture is all wrong.

Yellow! For the blues.

Chocolate brown next to any shade of blue or sage green. Black with red. Black with khaki. We are allowed to paint at our new place but I'm not sure I want the hassle of repainting later.

BM mocha cream!

Behr Butter Cookie. It's a complex shade, so that it changes depending on the light, but is always warm, welcoming, and soothing, without being soporific. We have it in our living room and love how it looks all day long--and the mood it sets.

We've got Behr Monaco in the bedroom and love that, too; my favorite white is Behr's Pot of Cream, which is clean with no harshness, and really looks creamy.

Red makes me happy. Especially a nice rich burgandy color :)

orange!

my living room is ICI Dulux in African Tulip. it faces east and when the sun rises on a cloud-free day, it looks like the sunrise exploded in the room.

Turquoise.

Behr Hampden green - it's the color of the Irish Sea in just the perfect light. I never tire of it.

I have always loved Baer BLISS BLUE... I boldly painted my whole living room BLISS BLUE and added lots of grounding, neutral elements and it was the happiest room in the world. A runner up was Fresh Aire (Home Depot no-VOC) Tranquil Pond, and another favorite was Benjamin Moore HOT LIPS.

BRIGHT yellows and oranges! Warm, sunny, golden, gorgeous. I love the look of a room drenched in warmth.

Alternatively, I adore the look of my bright yellow-verging-on-orange bedsheets against my pale warmish purple walls.

Deep brilliant purple. Nummy!
