So, am busy getting my house ready to put it on the market. I thought it looked 'light bright and airy.' I got a few of my Canadian friends in to give opinions, and they all reckoned the paint was too light and that Canadians preferred 'shades of brown and darker colours!' Well, being out of my comfort zone, (never having painted brown before...yeuch) I think I have have come up with the ultimate resource!



It is quite the multi purpose tool. Not only have you a good suggestions of colour flow throughout your house, but it can help you choose texture too! For example...
Number one could simulate a lovely pebble dash effect
Number three could be used as a colour co- ordinated grout
or Number six, could simulate a lovely rag roll effect.

What a cheap and easy resource for any other struggling Canadian decorators!
Happy Painting

wtf did i just read.........

those colours would put me in a shitty mood

Last year we sold our house in the university quarter. Every third household on our street was owned by an academic. The realtor told us we had too many books and it might put off buyers.

This is exactly what I said to my husband that houses here reminded me of! He's a nurse.

Reminds me of a cake pic posted on FB once;

lol.....yum!!

*thinking to self* I really shouldn't click this link. The context is right there...

*click*

WHY DID I CLICK THAT LINK.

It does make you wonder who would be brave enough to eat it!

I can't wait to de-poop our house! The thing is, all the Canadian home magazines etc, show non-poop colours. I can't imagine they all like brown......can they?! The lighter colours would make the home seem larger and brighter(given that we have tiny windows round here too, but that's a whole other subject!).

We've just been looking at houses (and have just bought, yay!)... most of the staged houses had neutral, non-offensive colours... cremes, beiges, greys, light blues, light greens, etc - no dark brown anywhere that we saw...

I would've saved you the dilemma if I had known how to get a pic into a post!

Maybe it would be the perfect house-warming cake!!!

Excellent! that is exactly what I need! A faecal vomiter to spray paint the walls!
Great find!

That's the colour of the walls in our last house here! I should've taken that pic for the colour match I needed!

Maybe I will just go for this look instead!
it would be a talking point!
Might be a bit 'edgy' for the Canadian taste!
