Hairy and I went to Ikea today for some color inspiration. I didn’t find much there tonight, but we did come away with these cookies with the funny name!
My life, among other things, is all about these right now:
I’m not very good at visualizing color in a big space like a room, and I get really stressed out about it. I have to remember that it’s just paint, and you can always paint OVER it.
Retro Minty Kitschen:
Serene, Candy Blue Master Bedroom (I haven’t found paint chips I really like yet for this room. Everything I pulled was too baby-blue.):
Girlie Barbie Bathroom:
Bold Blue Dining Room:
Sunshine Yellow Craft Room and Grass Green accent wall for Living Room:
Hairy’s Man Cave with Bright Red Door Frame Accent:
It looks like we’re moving! I’m partly excited, and partly overwhelmed. The only constant in life is change!
Oooh havreflarn, one of my favorite cookies! Haha it’s not such a strange name actually, “havre” means oat and “flarn” means thin (even though it’s an uncommon word). “Kakor” means cookies too, if you didn’t guess that already~! 😉
Thank you for the translation! That’s really cool!
lol, love the title! It’s funny how painting a room is like a mini-identity crisis in a way. I agonized over the shade of teal/turquoise until I bought “Mermaid’s Treasure” and loved it, I figured the name was a sign! lol
That is definitely a good sign!!! I found this color called MAC N CHEESE. I love the name, but the color not so much hehhhe
Oy! I’m going thru the same thing. Getting a whole color scheme for the house. You can get tester sized paints for most colors at Home Depot and probably Lowe’s, too. They are smaller jars for about $3 – $4. That way you don’t paint a whole wall and go “HOLY CRAP!” LOL
Yep yep!!!! Trying to at least narrow down our choices first! 😉
We bought our first place almost 2 years ago now and still haven’t painted most of the rooms. I ended up painting our bathroom and the adjoining master bedroom over Summer by myself (retro peppermint greens, oh my!) and just got to painting my office a few months ago.
It’s a pain trying to make time to paint and even more painful to drop hundreds on colours! (but extremely fun)

Sometimes I just think having white walls is easier!!! HEHEHE but since the space is empty now, it seems a great opportunity to paint the whole thing before the furniture goes in!
I recently painted our kitchen lime green and i love it. Everywhere else is white but i want to paint it all now xx
I wannna see photos!
i love paint chip, i have been known to just nab them when hubs drags me to Lowes
I do, too! Especially if the paint has a funny name.
I love your colors! I wish I had a house to paint! (Even though it’s usually kind of a pain in the ass…) XD
Well my kitchen is Lime greem and my room is stripe with 2 pink colors pink soft and pink Pink … I love colors …
Love your colors. I would have trouble with colors too and the whole house would end up white. 🙁 But when I saw the colors I wondered if you were moving. I’m guessing you are? 🙂 Congrats! Sounds exciting. I can’t wait to see which of these color combos makes it to the final cut. 🙂
Maybe you should try thinking of your own ideas. You’re so pathetic and dorky.
Thanks for the sage advice, oh wise one!
You are the most creative unique all around cool person I’ve ever seen! Keep up the good work, there are few out there like you *^^*
