Before Pictures

This was what my condo looked like when we first saw it. It had ketchup and mustard walls. You never want to use two primary wall colors in the same room. The two colors were competing with each other. You cantone down one color and use that as a background so the hot color could take center stage. First thing we did was paint it before we moved in. The living space was one big room, so I wanted to keep it light. The design scheme for the place is urban chic, kinda Manhattan Uptown hotel feel. Color inspiration comes from water washing up to a shore lined with stones and pebbles. Main colors are whites, greys, black, and some browns and beige.



Accent color is YELLOW. Yes. Yellow. There won't be any yellow walls remaining but they will come back in the form of pillows, art work, accessories. Combining the styles of two people is never easy. One likes bright colors and graffiti and other one likes soft feminine silhouettes. It's like picking out colors for a baby room when you don't know the sex yet. Yellow is unisex and it's eye catching without being in your face.
