This question just in…. (remember you can ask me anything if you are a newsletter subscriber) from Joanne:
Hi Ms. Conrad, I am currently doing the inside of my house. My style is primitive country. I am currently putting wainscoting up. I need some ideas for colour. The colours I am attracted to are barn red, blue and mustard yellow. I love these colour. My problem is what colour to paint the wainscoting. I am really attracted to red, but my daughter thinks I should paint it the mustard colour. I have an open style house so I need the colour to flow from room to room. I have been trying to get ideas off the net on Rate My Space, but there isn't too much when you look for wainscoting ideas. I do have a fireplace also. Our house is a four-split level so I need the wainscoting to flow. I am not crazy about white wainscoting as I prefer more warm tones. Thank you so much, Joanne
Here is my quick answer:
Hi... Here is my quick - without "seeing" your house response.I've used hunter green - cobalt blue - and barn red in my home. The only color I have "never" gotten tired of or found great ways to decorate with is "Barn Red". Think about this... if someone were to walk into your home for the first time - what color would you want to be the predominate color? The "One" color that they would see "some of" in every room? I have red in every room. Some is on the walls. - some rooms it's just the furniture and some rooms it's just the accent accessories. It all flows. I found that "RED" is the easiest of the country colors to decorate with. And yellow? Ewww.
