Mission: Make A Decision Already

This has gone on far too long.

I MUST make a decision RIGHT NOW. The fam will be here in four days, flying in from all points North and South to behold the spectacle of little sister Keebo's wedding. For four months the areas currently paint-patched by purple (Flexible Grey? Very flexible. Don't get me started...) has been sampled by no less than seven different colors.

I need help and I need it badly.

Fact: This is an interior room, our mock living room to be exact. There are no windows whatsoever. On the brightest, sunniest day a lamp must burn at full force in this room.

Fact: I'm over the current yellow paint. It doesn't match the acquired artwork I wish to hang and it is hard on the eyes when reading at night.

Fact: I am a big reader.

Fact: The fucking fish is STILL a bone of contention. Can I tell you that I painted the front door? The one that a person, such as my husband, walks in and out of forty times a day. Can I tell you that it only took him five days to notice that it was no longer blue, but burnt orange? Now the fucking fish? SEVENTEEN MINUTES. That's how long it took him to notice that I had stealthily removed it from it's out-of-the-way spot last week while he was out in the yard and hid it in a closet.

I implore you, my artistic friends, please,
please give me some advice on a color for this room that will flow with the rest of the wall colors.

I'm this close to calling it a day and just going with basic and boring antique white.

Have you thought about a warmish grey?
Looks great with white trim. Pops artwork. Warm enough to reflect ambient light, and to go with the wood.
Looks good with green, not too girly.
Check out the Pantone Spring Color report.

Hmmm. I like sage - it's pretty and it lighten a room as well. Would it go with the chairs?

Allie's idea is nice, too.

Or, you could go to that comedian's house and look at colors there. L is good at colors.

Or, ask that chick with whom I once owned a restaurant. She kicks ass at stuff like this.

erm, "lightens"
