I think it had something to do with my cousin Debi selecting it to be her wedding color, and I wanted to be just like her.
I got it into my head that I want to paint an accent wall in my dining room red. Cliché, perhaps as red seems to be one of the more popular colour choices for the dining room.Because I suck at choosing paint colors (evidence found here) I headed out to Home Depot to pick up a few samples.
Antique Red and Rapture
Cherry Blossom and Barn Door
The dining room doesn't get a ton of natural light, but I haven't seen the paint in the daylight yet.
Front runner thus far is Antique Red. We shall see how it looks when I return to the homestead this evening.
Do you have any bold wall colours in your house?

My kitchen is red and it's my favorite room in my house! Behr California Poppy. Rich and beautiful!
We've had lots - kitchen, vestibule, den, - red is devilishly hard to paint but worth it. Best red for us was Roadster Red - Benjamin Moore. Good luck!
Home Depot - autumn Maple - in my last three condos!
I like the red.
I mean the antique red. We did our dining room in a para paint from the Group of 7 collection that is amazing. I tried to find a link but I am not sure they make it anymore.
....did you change something on your blog? I can't access it from work as they think it is porn. Is it and I just didn't catch on?
I do.
MY OFFICE.
a bright deep vibrant PURPLE!!
My basement "office" is hilighter yellow (that's the actual name). The salesperson said "are you sure" three times when I chose it.
One of the bedrooms is red.
And. The best room in the ENTIRE house is painted........ (.........) BLACK! It's awesome. AWESOME. I love it so much. The room doesn't look small, and feels really luxurious, especially at night.
I'm so jealous! I would love red in a room. My youngest daughter had a red room when in the semi. It was a bugger of a colour to paint with, but it was gorgeous when it was finished.
I am chicken.
BUt I admire bold colours, and I love the Antique Red.
I don't because I live in an apartment and I don't think I could paint. But I would love to have a couple of accent walls that are bold colours; when I have my own place I will!
