Blank Canvas


Our living room, dining room, and den were all a very light neutral colour. The drapes are white, and the carpet was white. After living with all the light neutral for a few months, we were ready to add our own palate of colours and tones. First up was getting the old carpet up and exposing the lovely old oak floors. Last week we began painting the living room. The colour is dubbed "Painted Turtle" by Behr. Martin chose this one, and we both love this deep green with the "Pot of Cream" white trim and the white ceiling. Next we'll be doing the dining room, but are keeping the colour a secret until we see if we like it. When the dining room is finished and the art work rehung, we will resume the Gooch retrospective. Linda's art looks good on it's own merit, but will shine even more on newly painted walls.
