I can’t help with paint colours, but I can help you learn how to fold a shirt (totally mind boggling!):

I used that exact color combination in my lining room (it’s not a typo – living + dining = “lining” – I live in a studio). It looks awesome. I actually used Behr paint – “Calm Air” is the more french vanilla color and “Traditional Leather” is the rich, dark brown. I have 11-foot ceilings with molding approximately 1 foot from the top. The above part is brown and the remainder is the lighter color. It’s a perfect combo. I’m not sure about an entire brown wall … maybe you could put a big piece of wall art on it, to say, “Hey, we’re fancy. Check out our WALL.”

I like the dark color, but think a taupe (as opposed to the buff) would accent it better….and it would also make the white trim pop more. Just my $.02, sure it’s going to look great!

don’t be afraid of dark! The two colors you have picked are perfect & will be great!

I would make sure the brown does not have too many red tones in it, you could end up with a chocolate bar looking wall. And I agree with some of your other readers that the buff is a little too yellow, it needs too be lighter with more beige tones.

Other than that great choice HA!!

The bottom neutral looks much better than the pinky shade. I painted all my living room walls deep chocolate about 8 years ago. Trust me when everyone I told about it HATED the idea! (same as when I went burnt orange in my sunroom) As soon as they saw it-well, let’s just say I’m not one to say told ya so …. Honestly though you need to post pictures of furniture and accessories for the room. Then we can get down to some color choices!!!

I am clueless on the paint, but I think the Jenny McCarthy type bob would be awesome. I’m trying to grow mine back out to such. Stacked layers in the back with the angled bob towards your face would be nice, you’d have the look of the length, but the back just lays nice without having to screw with it.

I really dig both colors of paint that you showed. The one on the upper right does look a little pink, wasn’t sure if that was just how it photographed, or if it really is pink-y. The dark brown and the beige are complimentary of eachother, and will make a beautiful frame for your windows looking outside to such lovely greenery. I think, anyway. Nice choices!

I like your haircut, but I understand how you might need a change. Beware any drastic hair changes during pregnancy! ;-) I waited until my son was born and THEN lopped off 8 inches of hair. At the time I liked it, but looking back on the photos……not so much. Could you get some choppy/piecey layers cut in all over? Maybe that would give it enough movement that you’d appreciate the change?

I like the combo up & down instead of side to side if that helps. But I don’t know if it’s because of the lighting or not.

I’m no help when it comes to hair…my usual solution to wanting to take dull scissors to my mop is to tell my lovely stylist to “fix it!” She’s figured out that I want to be able to tuck it behind my ears but be able to have it short & easy to deal with. I’d show you how cool I look now, but I didn’t play with a blow-dryer this morning and I’m a week away from the dull scissors point.
