Bold....you better love it 'cause it takes 20 coats to cover up....RED.
Who doesn't need a little help choosing paint colors? It really stinks when you spend hours painting a room only to not love it when you are finished. I love seeing paint on "real life walls", not just on the swatch from the paint store. So, go check out this cute blog:http://www.granvillehouse.blogspot.com/
She is having a "blog party" where her readers post pictures of their houses and their favorite paint colors. So fun!!
In the mean time, check out my favorite RED. It is not necessarily my favorite paint color,but it is my favorite RED. I think RED is a hard color because it can be too purple or too bright. I think this RED is just right:)
The previous home owners had the kitchen painted "Texas Longhorn" orange...it matched nothing in my decor. I was so nervous because RED is a big commitment. RED is bold, and not easy to cover up. And, I was 6 months pregnant with my second child...I knew I really wasn't going to have a lot of time to fix my mistake if the RED was awful. Good news....I love it! We have lived in our house for about a year and a half and I still love it. I love color, so I am glad I went bold.
So if you are ready to bring a little RED into your home, I would highly suggest Cherry Cobbler from BEHR. I got our paint at Home Depot:)

Stephanie, the paint expert as mentioned in a previous post, used this red in her entry way and I loved it.***
Beautiful Color Lea. Thanks for sharing.

Yes... RED is hard! So are pinks (a variation of red obviously).
ReplyDeleteGreat choice!
Wow, it's amazing how different a color looks in different houses. I have Cherry Cobbler in my powder room and it looks totally different! I LOVE your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteHi Kimm,
ReplyDeleteI took these pictures with my phone:) That may explain why it looks so different. Not the best quality....but oh well. Maybe I will take some more pictures with my real camera and see if there is a big difference.
Lea~red is very hard to get right~this looks like a great one. Although, that Longhorn orange would be very popular here in these parts. :) Thanks so much for joining the party today!
ReplyDeleteI love a red kitchen! I was going to paint mine red, but it didn't work with the granite and floors. I was seriously bummed. So, I painted my family room instead. I think my red is darker. Very nice job!
ReplyDeleteI think that's the warmest color of red I've ever seen. It's absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great red!! I love warm reds- thanks for the name. :)
ReplyDeleteooo, i LOVE your bench in the first picture. LOVE, LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteLove your kitchen - it's fabulous!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Marie
