It looks wonderful! I'm loving how the colors really do bring out the trim. :)

Checked out your pictures again Sooth....That certainly is a delicious color. What is it?. I have to know.

The colour is Beauti-Tone's "Über Luxe", but I've been using Behr's Paint & Primer in One, so it's a colour match off their swatch. It's a medium taupe-brown.

On my sample board it looks like this (taller board on the left):

It looks much darker on the wall because this hallway gets no direct (natural) light.

The green (Behr's "Olivine - Google image turns up several photos of this shade) from the above photo will be the living room colour, and the lighter grey will be the office colour.

Nice job!

I also like those corner stakes. (I've never seen that detail before)

Love all the paint colors you chose. Especially the Olivine. I need to find a room I can use this paint in now.

For those that might want the colour, this is the code for it.

Images must be added from a different source (like an online photo album) and they are added to a post with the "img" (image) tags.

Wow! You have really done a great job! I also love those colors...both the Olivine and the Taupe.

I still have lots of painting to do, so I may steal those color ideas as well. I'm thinking that Taupe in my living room, but maybe just a touch lighter.

Lookin' GOOD!!!! :D
