Window Shopping - The New Color of Our Bedroom

Regardless of what color I would like to paint our bedroom 

We are bound by this fireplace.

I've seen in other homes in this area where the tile fireplace has been painted  -  usually with white

And I must admit, I've been tempted 

After all, wouldn't the birds look nice in white ? 

But loving this old house the way she is always prevails and so, the fireplace stays in these colors.

We first painted our room this sand color

but moved to the dramatic terra cotta (pictured above) when our son took over the room and thought the sand was boring.

Then Edward and I decided to reclaim the Master Bedroom and thought something more tranquil would be nice.  I tried to experiment with the aquas in the fireplace, but alas nothing really looked good.  As the light changed throughout the day, the aqua went from being something that matched the fireplace to something that looked baby blue.  Yuck!

Happily, I came across this soft green color at Lowes called Window Shopping.  It, too, changes colors throughout the day - from yellowish to grayish to blueish - but it always feels very nice.

Sure beats the terra cotta, don't ya think?

Thanks for stopping by,

Ellie
