Oh, and Yay shrift's apartment!

I lived in a good hood back in the day. I was on Bush between Hyde and Larkin. I still miss it. I had the Kabuki on Van Ness, the Lumiere, the California cable car if I was temping in the Financial District between theatre jobs, a big grocery which I see is now a Trader Joes...I really miss it.

I picked a darker blue for my bedroom and now I'm having second thoughts. Afraid it'll be overwhelming. I really like the color though.

Zen, we painted our bedroom a kind of sage-y green, and we really like it. I think your first instinct is probably the right one.

I like Cloudburst. I have an IKEA bookshelf in birch. I could get a couch in gray and throw on some colorful pillows: [link]

but it's only 460 sq ft.

That seems tiny! Which of course reminds me of the people in tiny houses article. Why linked to it? I feel like it must have been someone here.

I might've just sold the other 10k btu ac window unit I have. Haven't used it since the first year, too scary to install it, manage fine without. Offered it up for borrowing /third the cost ($100) if it works to the new neighbors. They are interested. It's six years old, but only used one season, so should work fine. And I flat out told them it's fine if they borrow it thru summer and just pay me once they decide to keep it, cause I remember the moving bills shock.

I like peacock plume, but plummy would be really nice in a bright space too.

I think any of those colors could be very livable. Do you have clothes in any of them, shrift? If any look particularly good on you in a shirt, they'd probably make a nice framing device for you as a wall.

I think Plummy could get old.
