I can always count on you two! I don’t know if you can tell from the photo, but that vertical corner molding is a warm silver. I love the color, but maybe I’ll go with something a little lighter for the ceiling molding. I want the molding to stand out from the ceiling so I don’t want to go white (or Swiss coffee) on white. I’m thinking of stealing one of the fixtures from the upstairs apartment. I think they’re brass. In it’s place, they’ll get a better fixture because they have higher ceilings.

Ralph Lauren has some awesome metallic paints at Home Depot. Go for silver!!

The blue looks most excellent. How about swiss coffee for the molding, too? Or too matchy matchy? I’m worried that introding another color and a red couch could be tricky?? If glitz is what you want I would totally go metallic. Gold. (Or silver if that’s what your light fixture will be.).
