Green or Red?

To paint or not to paint? Seems to be the question

around here lately.

My new (new to me but old in general) cottagesque

bungalow (yes I just made up that word!)

has a very red room. It is not quite burgundy and

it is not quite blood red.

This color is nice enough, I guess. Yet I often

wonder if a pistachio green with white trim would

be calmer? 

This room was intended to be a dinning room. Does

anyone use those anymore? Anyway, red for a

dinning room is fun. But for an office it is kinda 

violent? Well, I have seen red offices now that I 

think about it.... 

My little office that comes off of a medium yellow

living space has big, wide window looking out on a

tree filled garden.

I love this room and I often sit in here looking

out over the garden or I lounge in the olive

green chair and read a book or watch tv on the

internet. But it seems that everytime I am in here

I think about other colors and it tends to 

fill my thoughts..

So I guess just in the act of writing this I have

talked myself into painting another room!

So what color?  Pistachio green, medium green,

white? mmmm.
