A paint job and colors I am working with ... :)

Here's a sneak peek into my curret project ... and as every Interior Designer will tell you the most difficult clients are your own family ... really, nothing can challenge your creative wits and credentials like home turf... :)

 Luckily, my dreams of messing around with black ... didn't meet the same fate as the hot pink story 2 yrs. ago ... :)) ... and oh! yes ... have to mention ... the ones most in love with the choice have been my 6yr. old and her friends  ... thankyou kiddos ... ;))

  But honestly ... this has been one fun time experimenting ... and pushing myself to  not compromise or chicken out. Doesn't that happen to you ... you always have this gorgeous color in mind ... and dream of putting it on your walls ... only to chicken out for the more 'safer' colors and shades.

... but come on, there's nothing like playing it safe ... its the walls of your own space ... how much more personal can it get ... and to not have the colors you want... :) Inspite of all logical reasoning ... it still takes something to say yes! and not wake up in the middle of the night with knots in your stomach.

  I am working with Asain paints for the complete painting job and not just the paints. And I must say this... so far ... with just half the job done ... I am happy ... ofcourse full review of the Asian Paints  painting services ... well! only after the full job is done ... :)

 Hope you are ready with those queries of yours ... feel free to find me here on blogger or on FB or e-mail me at rajeesood(at)gmail(dot)com

Will share a lil' more in the next few posts ... about the colors I am using ... tiny hitches and glitches. Hope you'll join in and make this more fun.

Rooms in pink ... but mama... that isn't my kinda pink ... :(

  

This is really a dear diary moment  ... really ... I have too much of pink happening in my head ... and I can't believe just how desperate I am to have a room in this beautiful hot pink ...  and (sob...sob) ... my 4 yr.old(who says they don't know what they want) ... says...'' its tooooo dark mommy'' ...

... ah !where was I ... (sob...sob)... yep ... so now I have this  powder pink (well sort of) ... and mommy has woken up and smelled the coffee ... gone are the dreamy days where I could paint the kiddy room my way ... now its the lil 4 yr. olds way ...

 

sob...sob... I so enjoyed seeing these pretty in pink rooms ... had to share with all of you out there,who'd share a moment of sympathy ... while the reality dawns on me ... ;)

... ah! what the hell ... the pinks up on the wall ... and the professional in me (well! sob...sob) ... kicks in ... lady we have a project to finish ...

... I sure did think these pictures may inspire some of you ... who had their doubts ... or well ! never could imagine ... HOT PINK WALLS ... and have had ... YOU MUST BE CRAZY ... moments if someone(like me) suggested it to you ... :)

... we are having a great time(read ...  frustrating ..grrrr ... and sob..sob ... at the same time) ... I have stories to share ... let you in on the design stories of the girlie room I am doing these days ... all this being written while I wait for the carpenters to deliver the wardrobe and the girlie desk  ;) which I plan to paint PINK ... :)) ... any moment the guys are going to come knocking and I'll have to go zipping ...

In the mean while, send over ... all your thoughts ... your love notes for HOT PINK ... hate notes for ... yuuuuck ... PINK ,lady get a life ... ;)

Infact, my spirits are so rejuvinated ... I think I'll go and try the old trick ... flutter those eye lashes ... look all coy ... and try the line ... '' Honey , aaa ... you think I could use all that HOT PINK ... paint we have in the library instead ... ;) ... heck ... after 17 yrs. why am I still thinking that works any more ... Darn it ! ... ;)

Rooms in Taupe ... so what shade is more you ...

Continuing the series about rooms with color ... here are some rooms done in Taupe ... but wait a sec., did you by any chance believe you liked your walls toned down ... and well ! ... may be taupe is more for you ... :)

... o.k then , ... did you think of what shade is more you ... cause even in colors like taupe ... you are sure to be looking at a basket full of shades ... like the first picture ... a much darker shade ... more towards a mudbrown or this picture above ... the room is more brown grey taupe ... :)

... traditional idea of a taupe room is some what this shade ... what is wonderful is how it goes well with so many other colors and shades ... you can do up your room furniture in shades of polish ranging from walnut to rosewood ... even teak ...have white surface finishes ... black ... I think taupe carries all of then very comfortably ...

... and so if white walls are not for you ... as in ... ah! I've had them all my life ... I'm soooo ... not in the mood for white anymore ... then taupe can sure be on your radar ... it'll give you shades that'll make you scratch your head for what really gels with ... my space being more me ... :)

... and it is even versatile to change and accomodate different styles ... be it traditional ... modern ... ethnic ... or just about everything eclectic ...

... often people talk about colors which have no character and they will make you believe the bolder... brighter or darker the shade ... the most gutsy and expressive the resident ... ... well ! I can't seem to quite digest that ... I think it couldn't be farther from truth ...

... the color that best puts all your collections together and makes you feel at home is the best option for you ... and often it may need you to get some professional help to get that bit correct ...

... Hope you were able to discover ... somebit into your personal preferences ... when it comes to deciding a color for your rooms ... feel free to write to me ... would love to hear your side of the if's ... buts ... wants and don't's ... :)... especially if you have doubts about any particular color or shade ...

Rooms in Black ... uber cool ... super chic ...very... very classy ...

Theres nothing quite like the black ... here are a few rooms for you to enjoy ... you're sure to figure out if black is the thing for you ... or may be not ... or you just may have a sudden wow ... that's my thing moment .... :)

... so whether you had a wowwy ... or not my cuppa tea moment ... hope you'll come back to join me in more on this series of Rooms with Color ... write to me your comments and suggestions ... do you have any particularly fav. and not much talked about color ... well! do share with me ... would love to explore the world of colors on the walls ... :)
