With a new light and new windows last year, and a cute and practical window seat built by my dad this winter, the walls around it were just begging for a makeover.

We decided/learned that colors at the very top of the color chip were just too light for us, so we moved down on the spectrum and went with Sherwin Williams Tidewater (light teal) in satin finish. I happen to like this color anyway, so I trusted I'd like it on the wall too. It's light, yet soft and inviting.

It makes the room look sophisticated, but young and modern, too. The only downside is that the kitchen now looks extra drab next to it.
Half beauty/half beast
Still, it makes me happy to see how far it's come. I know we'll get to that ugly kitchen someday.

I love it!! It is almost similar to the color I painted my kitchen but yours is a little brighter and less gray. It really makes the white trim pop!! The first color is pretty but you are right -- it did not create that contrast...repainting is the worst but you won't regret it!
I like the color too Amber. Nice choice and that area looks greatnow.
