To paint or not to paint? That is the question.

 

So it's been decided my roommate and I will be resigning our lease. Translation: the odds of me tiring of the black gallery wall in my office are good to very good. What are your thoughts on switching out the dark, bold neutral for a fun, fresh minty green color like this Kate Spade pop-up store? Vote now!

Go for the mint! I painted a couple pieces in my apartment (since I couldn't paint the walls) a minty green. It's a fresh, bright pop of color!

i voted for the mint! but i also think that mint is very trendy right now and you may or may not be painting it again in a few years. :) but i think mountainview will be delicious looking!

Love! You know I've wanted to paint my place for forever. Just didn't want to deal with painting & having to paint over the paint once I move.

I love the minty green idea but I think black is so striking - I vote keep it black!

Jessica said...

The black wall is such a great statement but I think the mint would be so fresh, a fresh change I think.

Hi! I just recently discovered your wonderful blog. I too have been considering a minty green color. Check out Micheal Penny's home tour on Canadian House & Home. He used F&B Pale Powder in his living room and F&B Teresa's Green in his den. Lovely home tour!

I love the minty green - it's very fresh. Maybe even something like a light blueish/gray could work? Definitely something to brighten the space.

Can't hurt to try! I have mint green in my entryway and I looove it!

Argh! I've been considering repainting my kids' shared bedroom a minty color, away from a mustard color. This is not helping me resist!

And yes, go for the repaint. You can always paint it back to black, right?

Nothing ventured... nothing gained!
