When we moved I had our den painted red - I always wanted a red room, and it's a shade I love - this was the perfect room. (the furniture still sits in the garage waiting to be painted.....two years later) We had the kids rooms painted different shades of blue, their bathroom was wallpapered - one I fell in love with. I painted the powder room a nice shade of hmmmm...mossy green? and then .....nothing! No inspiration - nothing.
My older daughter can't stand it that we haven't done anything else, but it's expensive, and what if I don't like it once it's done?! I had our bathroom painted a shade of green I hated, and had to have it repainted - that was a bit traumatic.
Does it ever just "hit" you what needs to be done in a particular room? You know, inspiration? That's the only way I can seem to go forward. I hope you can find something that works for you....whether it's where you are or in a new house.
