debbiejoy1 Sounds like you have a very neutral space so far. You have lots of options opened. How about a grayed down blue? Very updated look.

Carriage House Builders Looks like 4" trim with back band. Just installed the same trim in our house. Nice clean look.

TanCalGal Below is Sherwin William’s Arts & Crafts colors with suggested accents (other paint companies might have other chip suggestions?). I like to have my whole house color-cohesive. Let’s say in the living room I chose a dark blue for all 4 walls. According to SW’s A&C palette, Bunglehouse Blue pairs nicely with Indian white and Classic Light Buff or in another chip they pair Bunglehouse Blue with Antiquarian Brown (looks rust-like) and White Hyacinth. So, taking my cue from that, I’d paint adjacent rooms in one of the whites or Light Buff. And in each room I’d have accents of dark blue, white, Buff, and Rust. http://www.sherwin-williams.com/pdf/color_themes/int_arts.pdf

sweethomecolumbia Thank you so much for the great advice! I was thinking along the lines of white but was stumped regarding another color. Great ideas....I will have to post pictures once it's finished. Thanks again for the help! Much appreciated!

Elizabeth Cole Did anyone get an answer to where this slipcovered chair came from? I need a chair this size and shape for a small corner space. This looks like it would be perfect.

Becky Harris I'm not sure on that exact light, but this one is similar:

A way to search for these kinds of lights is "library light" or "art light"

Anne DeCocco They could be twill, wool, canvas, heavy linen.etc. Lining gives any fabric more weight so that it can hang nicely.

Anne DeCocco Start by looking at Ben Moore's Soot/2129-20. In art classes, we were always told to put some blue in our black, for depth. It works well.
