Wednesday Tip of the Week

I am not at all good at home decorating. I have no idea what looks good with what. I'm terrible at picking colors. I'm like the anti-Martha but at the same time I want my home to be tastefully done with a "homey" feel. Since I don't have the money to hire an interior decorator I have to forage the Internet and magazines for ideas. Here was an idea that worked really well for me in the area of picking colors for the walls in our master bedroom.

Tip: If you are having trouble selecting paint colors. Choose a favorite object that you really like the color of in the room to be painted, take it in to a paint store to "color match" it for paint on the walls of that room. In our master bedroom I LOVE the colors in the throw pillows on our bed. So I took the pillow to Home Depot and used one of the dark colors in the pillow for the "accent wall" and a lighter color for the other walls. I think it turned out pretty good! There may be a "Martha" in me after all............okay, that's probably going too far!
