The Elegance of Beige



In my previous post I commented about painting some of my rooms in
Sparkling Sage from Valspar. 


Nice, right?

Well...there's a boring side of me you can say. 

The walls that won't have the super cool and awesome
Sparkling Sage 
will get a dose of two shades... 

Dessert Fortress by Valspar...
and two shades lighter of that color which is basically, 
yes, 
you guessed it...

BEIGE. ...


okay, you can stop yawning now. 

But I think it's actually a very nice and cool
(because it has gray undertones) color.

When on the wall, Desert Fortress
and the 2 lighter shades look like this 
(depending on the time of the day, 
the amount of light in the room and 
where that light is coming from - north, south, etc.):





For all the blog friends out there who love beige and
are proud of it, I join your ranks.
:-)

Yay for Beige!


So, are you a fan of beige, indifferent,
or do you fall asleep just
thinking about it?


Much love...

Besos,

  2. COUNT ME IN!

    BEIGE
    GRAY = GREIGE and I am mad about it. WHY? It serves as a soft backdrop for EYE-POPPING objets d'art such as chandeliers and other vintage finds! BEAUTIFUL MY DEAR.....I am in total agreement here! Anita

  5. Sometimes when I walk in my house and have to put my sunglasses back on... I admire you and your beige. LOL

    I have totally surprised myself by painting 3 walls in my bedroom white. Does that count? Of course... the 4th one is black. The biggest one... then I have some red lockers and various other things...
    the important thing is, I have 3 white walls.

    Can't WAIT to see your beige walls! xoxoxo
