I see from your post today that you're also struggling with the same thing with your taupe/beige walls.<br /> <br />It's so complicated isn't it?!<br />Love this room!<br />TTriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01268657766181550350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-23039722059508355892010-05-05T11:10:26.686-04:002010-05-05T11:10:26.686-04:00Exactly why I love Mark Hampton's designs... w...Exactly why I love Mark Hampton's designs... what a practical genius he was. Brown might be tough to pull off here in So California where the light pours in most days of the year. The darkest walls I have are in an interior hallway. They're a golden straw color from Martha Stewart called "beeswax". Since the hall is a bit dark anyway, the dark(er) color seemed right and is unexpected since the rest of the house is either white or a pale golden taupe. Don't get me wrong though...if I had a different kind of house, I'd try a darker room in a heartbeat.Tracy Watierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06173203339834757559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-69143344789731524702010-04-30T17:59:16.117-04:002010-04-30T17:59:16.117-04:00D......I have a brown room too (the color of a Her...D......I have a brown room too (the color of a Hershey bar..dark brown with a silver gray in it)..I accessorize with white and yellows in the winter and orange/pink/and reds...in the summer..I'll Never change it !

I hope my library will carry it. He's right about the room color. I did paint my husbands office black and it IS warm in the winter and I really think it will be cool (den-like) this summer. My treatment room at work acts in the same way. It's a deep reddish/orange. In the cold months it's warm and cocooning and in the summer it has a tropical, summery look. <br /><br />My favorite photo of a Mark Hampton room was his own den. Here is this gorgeous room and on the sofa was a small needlepoint pillow that read, "What a dump." I've always wanted one since I saw that! Thanks for this post.<br /><br />~janetthe gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665184280263878685.post-75638851877482158422010-04-28T22:19:31.065-04:002010-04-28T22:19:31.065-04:00It looks dramatic, but not hard or cold.
