Normally I like yellows some shades of yellows and white. But monochrome makes me really happy ... kinda minimalistic.

The whole room was actually that color for many years. The humanity.

We had that type of color (green) in our bathroom here for years. This is the cabin that's been passed down in the family since the 1800's?

@TheHorse I'l let you know if being rich is good. Unfortunately, we are too far distantly related for it to fall back to any of us. Grandfather wanted to buy it but found out that it was already set in stone.

What did you replace it with? This cabin dates back to perhaps the 1940s. My Grandpa's old cabin, down in the ghost town of Maiden, dates back to the 1870s or 1880s.

@ScribbledAdNauseum So sad. But will you get rich? Being rich is good. Or so I've heard.

Heh. I agree. I hope you like the dark brown when I show it. I also used it on a "rafter" that leads from the "new" room to the old cabin.

oh my gosh!! this brings many memories, lol. my papaw called this "apple green" 'n insisted their bedroom be painted such years 'go. when i went to paint the outside 'f their house back'n the early 90's, he wished such a color'n all 'f the trim. mamaw forbade such, 'n won that battle. the peach 'tis quite nice. i'm sure the dark brown really brightens such.

In India such dark colors are not common. I mean, I have seen them but not in homes of family. Most have yellow, cream, etc., with yes, wooden doors, polished brown. Somehow I am not ok with brown. Light yellow and white, is how I would go. Or green or white. Best gray and white ... Pony and I are so different in tastes. He still has a lot of growing up to do...that shade of peach is for kids.

The dark brown provides a nice contrast. And the blending with the "old" part of the cabin is good. I'll do a "during" post over the next few days.

The peach color doesn't look that bad. Hospital green is pretty ugly, second only to baby poop green.

@BarBaraPrz I admit to having spent part of one evening watching the fire from a chair an BLASTING flies with my bug killer as they swirled around my ceiling light. My Buddhist leanings don't include not killing flies.

I always thought “hospital green” was a color to remind you that you’re sick. Peach sounds a lot better.

You should have went with hospital green throughout

honestly I'm not sure I like either of those colors, I would have went with a light grey but hey that's just me.

@TheHorse I remember way back when, I was doing remodeling and had a guy who wanted everything in the house painted white. walls, doors, window frames, everything. He even wanted the kitchen and bathrooms with white tile. That was way to much white.

@TheHorse you know i remember your cabin last night when we watched abandoned houses on youtube these cabins or houses were nestled in the middle of nowhere. as in the middle of mountains with no neighbors at all. do you have neighbors there?

The peach looks suspiciously similar to the colour MrP recently painted the basement family room here (I suspect MrsJ was at least partially responsible for the colour choice.)
