Paint me Yellow....

      My husband and I recently moved to a new base and we were given a nice one bed, one bath apartment. What's next?... We are excited as hell to get it into good shape. After about two weeks of cleaning and fixing things up (:-$) we finally moved in. We were bored with our previous white paint so we decided to add some color to the house. We wanted to give our lounge a lively yet warm and homely touch, so after much debate we chose to go with yellow and orange color. We started out by choosing a slight pale yellow as the base color for three of the four walls. For the fourth wall, we went with three horizontal stripes of bright sunny yellow, orange and grey. This is how it turned out.... 

Please ignore the mess as we are still unpacking =-)

       Initially, we had chosen and painted only the bright yellow on this striped wall. But the end result looked too piercing to our eyes. So we ended up toning it down with a warm orange. Later on I came across a picture on the internet in which they had added some grey in the middle which looked fabulous. And Voila!! We had some left-over grey at hand which had painted in our bedroom(Pictures will come later). The orange that we found didnt turn out to be exactly what we wanted. One of the main problems of living in a small city?... you dont have access to a lot of variety which at times gets frustrating. Anyway, the color looks kind of peachish here. I would like to change it in future to more or less a burnt orange color. Do let me know of your opinion as to how it looks.,...

We are really looking forward to working on this room.
