Hi, I'm stuck. I'm interested in rich colors, and the shabby chic/utilitarian look. I love the casual and formal look together. One of my problems is, is that I'd like to have a different color in every room. I realize, that to have connection throughout the home, at least requires the same colored baseboards, frames etc.
What colors would you, personally, use throughout your home in each of the rooms to get the clean shabby chic/utilitarian/ralph lauren look?
Also, what accent color would you use and what color would you do your baseboards or frames etc.? What is your take on the all white look versus the richly colored walls?
I know I have to live in it, but I would like to know your opinion.
Do you think this is an interesting question? THE COLORS I HAD IN MIND ARE A FRESH MED GREEN, BLUE, WHITE/TAN AND A ROSY RED. MAYBE BROWN SOMEWHERE LIKE THE BASEBOARDS. I'VE ALSO GOT A MIDNIGHT BLUE TO WORK WITH. OH AND A LIGHT PINK COLOR.
I suggest you pick three colors: one for the walls, one for the trim and one for the ceiling. Your trim should be the same throughout all the rooms for continuity and will be the uniting device that pulls all the rooms together. You can flip the wall color and ceiling color from room to room, making them feel completely different, and yet you know they will all match for visual flow. Then choose a carpet that will unite the entire space.
In my house, I have chosen a light rose, pastel blue, and charcoal grey, with a dark rose trim to unite them all. I have a salt and pepper carpet throughout, with slate grey entry hall.
Find a decorating site on the computer, and experiment with different colors in different room. All the paint companies have them.

shabby Carved My 19 year old son has this problem..I need help..?
It started about a month ago, my 19 year old son, Claudius revealed that he is obsessed with certain weird rituals. He likes to drink his own urine only after it has sitten out in the sun for 2 days, he sleeps under his bed, rather than on top. and last May he confessed to building a shabby cage out of sticks and twine to house street cats, set his old bicycle on fire and lunged it at the animals. Fortunately, none of them got hurt. He is very wild boy, last week he licked the back of his mothers neck and I decked him on reflex. He later threatened to carve out the U.S. Constitution using a bowie knife on my back while I slept. I haven't slept in a week and 3 days. I need HELP! what is wrong with my son? He masturbates onto toilet paper and then situates it upon his private area and struts about the house saying how he's the fourth and filthiest version of Adam from the long lost congegal garden. I punched him out of reflex. HELP!
this issue is beyond something that you can handle alone...he needs a professional RIGHT AWAY! those are scary behaviors, and the hurting of animals can be a warning sign of a sociopath. please get him help NOW so that you and your wife are safe.
