"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I'm picking colors. The master bath we've finally settled on with a sort of turquoise/greeny glass accent tile with white, black, and brushed nickel. It'll go with the sort of green glass vessel sinks there.

Then the main open area will be primarily white with black trim and red as an accent color. We'll put red as an accent wall behind the dining area, to separate it from the kitchen and living space. And I'll put a red accent wall in the office, too.

But beyond that I'm kinda baffled. How different should the rest of the rooms be? The studio will have the same walls as the rest of the open area, but a different floor (cork) to differentiate it, and to provide some acoustic relief from the tile.

The rest of the house is all tile, a variegated black in the living room and master bedroom and a variegated white through the rest. I guess it's just the master bedroom and the guest bedroom/media lounge I need to decide on. Should those be different?

Liese, I have no recs on color (I are an engineer after all) but I just want to say, Hydrate or Die! That was my favorite ad campaign from Camelback, and I have a sticker that says that on my camping lexan wine glass.

Jen, did you IKEA? Whenever I go to White Marsh, that's usually the point.

Heh. No, I actually met a friend there for lunch. It's a good more or less halfway point for my peeps from the DC area and me. We wait for each other at the Starbucks next to the movie theater, then go to one of the restaurants around there. Sometimes we shop; today, not so much, though there was strolling.

It's kind of our solution for wanting to get together but not having the time for a full-on weekend visit.

Liese, all I've got is that I'd want my master br to be a light, tranquil color.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Kat's living room is indeed a gorgeous color. Plus it has cool built-in shelve-y things and stuff.

Hydrate or Die!

I know, right? Usually I'm good about it. But I'd just spaced it all day. But I'm having a nice cool glass of water right now, and I'm not dying!

Liese, all I've got is that I'd want my master br to be a light, tranquil color.

Yeah. Tranquil would be good. And it's going to be such a pretty room. There are lovely views out the north-facing windows. Maybe something that ties into that a little bit.

Maybe something warmer, more intimate, sensual.

It's possible I'm overthinking this.

Where was that website of ita's that did color palettes?

Holy guacamole! I JUST NOW found out about that freeway collapse. From you folks. Egad, it looks bad too. I clearly live in bubble, a very busy bubble.

Which reminds me, I must go grade some more. grrrr.
