Paint Colors - Part Deux

After more thinking, lots of suggestions from helpful blog and QA readers, and some serendipity, I've come up with a solution! My first brilliant idea was to add trim to the inside opening. All of the doors and windows have that fingerboard trim with the bullseye corners. The opening from the hallway into the office doesn't have a door or any trim. If I put trim on the inside (office side) of the opening, I've automatically created a separation from the taupe wall/burgandy paper that's enough to say "hey! the hallway is over! this is a new room here!"

Having decided to do that, I feel much more adventurous again. So I headed to my fabric stash. What better way to experiment with big swatches of color than to hang a half-yard of this or a yard of that on the wall?! Thanks to Judy Robertson and ArtFabrik I have lots of hand-dyes to experiment with, and I think I've found something that I'm happy with and doesn't cause too much heartburn - chartreuse! I first found the shade in some Treenway Silk (Walker Hook Waltz from the Salt Spring Island Series for inquiring minds), and then replicated it in a piece from Judy. Having hung the fabric in various sightlines I'm happy. Now I just need to head on over to Home Depot, find the right paint chip and be on my way!
