Anyway, when my dad emailed me asking what colors he should paint the walls at camp, I knew exactly what he was talking about. I spent some time searching through my Pinterest boards for inspiration and have come up with the following photos:
Can you tell I'm into the whole grey thing? I am obsessed with walls of that color. I think a deep, warm grey would be so cozy when it's cold and snowy outside, but not obnoxiously cheerful like a sunshine yellow. Maybe with touches of red, to ensure warmth? My other thoughts would be a warm wheat colored neutral - although we do have real wood paneling on some walls and I fear that wheat against wood is too much brown. Perhaps wheat in the family room without any paneling?
I will say that as someone that has a family lake house no one in our family calls it a camp. I think you need to clarify that Mainers call it a camp.
ReplyDeleteHi, I thought I was clear that I meant that Mainers call it a "camp," not other people. If you meant that "not all Mainers call it a camp," that is true too. I just didn't feel it was a necessary addition to my story. Also in my experience many/most Mainers do refer to their second homes as camps. Sorry if I offended you!
ReplyDeleteI think you need a warm-ish gray because you'll be coming in from the cold in the winter and need to be cozy. I vote not the wheat color!
ReplyDeleteor the purple!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your advice, dbelle! I agree - especially about the purple! I love the gray idea and am thinking of either a green, navy, or bittersweet color for the entryway.
