Color Scheme

I am excited to present the color scheme for our apartment. We met our interior decorator, Calie Anderson, through a coworker of mine. She is quitting her job as a graphics designer to embark on a new career as interior designer. Her blog is nohealookbook.blogspot.com.

To fill new readers on the details, my fiance and I have been debating which color to paint our apartment. We were at an impasse, and decided to consult someone with better taste than us to choose for us. We hired Calie to figure out what we should paint our walls. I think we got a lot more from Calie than what we originally scoped for the job, which is great. Not only did we get our color scheme, but we also got specific Benjamin Moore color formulations, AND we got furniture ideas, designer tidbits, and even furniture layouts.

Hallway Mood Board

Hallways
For our hallways (see above for mood board), we will be painting one wall Benjamin Moore "Tequila Lime Green" (2028-30), and the rest of the walls "Feather Gray" (2127-60). Some ideas for artwork to place in the hallways are shown above.

Living Area Mood Board

Living Area
For our living/dining area (see above for mood board), the style is mod to fit with our red Swedish fireplace. As you can see, the color theme is red, green and gray, with mod lucite furnishings, green and red accents and geometric style furnishing.

Accent Wall Idea

Calie even came up with some accent wall ideas (see above). She thought that we were ignoring one of our walls in our living area (she was right), and thought that a nice graphic would liven up the area some. She knew that we like to go on bike rides, so she thought of a cute tandem bike graphic.

Kitchen Mood Board

Above is the moodboard for the kitchen. Once again the lime green and gray colors predominate. I like the idea of the gray slate floors.

Guest Bed Room Mood Board

Our interior designer suggested the above for the guest bed room. Simple white and black colors with modern chairs. I wanted to have a blackboard wall somewhere in the house, and this seemed to be a good place for it.
