The Colors: Dining Room
So the dining room doesn’t really function as a dining room…well, it does, but most of the time it’s The Companda’s office. And he has A Thing About Orange that I have never found it wise to fight. Meanwhile, I had a multi-year yen to paint a room Silver Fox, and so I figured a grey room with orange accent would work out (spoiler alert: it did).

The Colors: Kitchen
If you all recall, I fell in love with an intensely green kitchen a while back.
After a lot of searching, I’m pretty sure I’ve found that color. However, the online color swatch that I’ve found looks insanely yellow on my monitor. So if you could just trust me when I say that Benjamin Moore’s Yew Green is a pretty close match (although not QUITE so neon), that’d...
