It was too good to be true – I had to delay painting the loft till Monday. I got to thinking too much about the paint colour, and ended up getting myself all discombobulated. Plus my blog friends {who also happen to be awesome designers!} Kelly Berg at Story & Space and Dawna Jones at Dawna Jones Design made suggestions that got me thinking…. Kelly suggested a slate blue or charcoal grey, and Dawna suggested a navy blue.
Kelly sent me these inspiration pictures, which I love. The orange accents in this first picture look amazing with the dark slate blue walls.

I found these beautiful navy blue rooms:

Gorgeous, yes? So do you see my dilemma?! I’m really loving the idea of going with a dark slate or navy blue. Which means poring through my PARA Paints fan deck to find the perfect shade of dark & sexy blue between now and Monday morning. My painter friend will say something way worse than “Tsk, tsk, Kelly, Kelly, Kelly….” if ask him to postpone again! These are the top runners at the moment – still looking for the right navy blue.
What’s your favourite blue?
