I was loving the light color with the brick ...haha. I was loving the light color with the brick and natural wood, so I cracked up when I read Mike hates it. My opine is that if you keep the mantle natural wood, a lighter blue/gray will enhance the wood. If you go with a dark shade, painting the mantle a creamy white would be so much better. You could add pops (hate this phrase) of creamy white in pillows like your sweater pillow and throws, etc. <br /><br />I was wowed by how much better the wood table and chairs set looks with some cheerful paint on it. I will keep an eye out for a compatible chair for the set (something a little feminine for Liv?) as I see them all the time in my excursions in the neighborhood. <br /><br />You've got me inspired to work on our walls. But first I have to finish up the 13 projects going on now.<br />At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.com
