I did my dining room a very rich pompeii red/orange because I was inspired by a picture of a dining room in a Henrietta Spencer-Churchill book.

I still prefer the deeper darker and more mysterious colors -- like the deep eggplant purple -- so that the room does resemble a jewel-box and any lovely object (or person!) becomes its sparkling jewel. Thanks for the lesson! <BR/><BR/>Jan x at Rosemary CottageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-84400542366179771722007-08-21T12:14:00.000-04:002007-08-21T12:14:00.000-04:00Mary's is my favorite use of bright colors.Mary's is my favorite use of bright colors.Jordan Cappellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02308216542617799881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-28899457338540538542007-08-21T11:44:00.000-04:002007-08-21T11:44:00.000-04:00These are all great - I agree that red would be so...These are all great - I agree that red would be so perfect in the blue room.Mrs. Blandingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402207636108999627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34961211.post-57694403386943193752007-08-21T10:40:00.000-04:002007-08-21T10:40:00.000-04:00Kate and Suzy- Glad you like that purple.
