HesterF's Profile

We just finished painting our apartment yesterday. The painter didn't believe me when I said paint the chair rail the same color as the wall, so she painted a test for me! I held my ground, and you are correct. The small rooms do feel larger.

In our bedroom, which has two windows opposite French doors, I realized I should have kept the window trim the same color as well. When viewed from that vantage point (and there really is no other), the room is now visually broken up and feels deceptively small.
