oooo! It's been so long, I don't have the names, but I can tell you it's Miller Paint, a local company. I thought the best thing about having so much dark wood in there was that I could have used almost any bright color and it would have worked because there's so little of it, I thought it turned out looking like mint chocolate chip.

Thanks for your lovely compliments, I'm glad you like it!

Caiti,
I think it's a shame to paint wood in a craftsman. We might not have bought this home if the dining room wood was painted.

Those bird cage curtains, they were one panel from Urban Outfitters, I made it into two and added some color blocking. Molly, said she thought she also saw the pattern at Forever 21.

The pink color paint, I'm not exactly sure of the color, but it's from Miller Paint (local paint company), the bedroom is very bubble gum while the bathroom color is a bit more powdery. I knew pink color choice was a a little wacky at the time, but I went with it thinking that I will probably paint it over in a few years.

The bed I found at Wicks Furniture and it has been with me for a few houses, this is the first home were it's size appropriate to the bedroom, so I was thrilled and designed that quilt to go on it at the same time we picked the blue paint.

"Gefeliciteerd" we are just Dutchophiles. We hope to one day become honorary citizens.

Thanks for all the comments on our home, it's fun to share.

I would confirm that our house is dark, we like it that way and when given the choice between light and dark wood we would most certainly choose dark, it's just our taste.

I would have to agree our house doesn't seem to fit with the average home you see here on A.T.

The rainbow curtains were handmade by me, from a print I found at the fabric store about 4 years ago.
