I did mention that we went a little overboard and now are redoing this room, too... so I need a paint color for the boys' room. On the corner there are three colors, the first (looks like white with just a hint of green) is 'silence' (ha ha) and the next is 'evaporation.' the final one (on the adjacent wall) is a sample I found in the garage, a reject from the dining room project. I am going to pick up a few more samples today. Below are the other colors of the room...
JT claims he wants this bedspread. I was thinking of a nice plain green with a white or turquoise ribbon around it in a box like look. I may be outvoted.
This is their rug. I ordered from overstock. It is navy and white. The bunkbed is "wood" and then we will pain the bed frames in our trim color (spice delight). (Nice sink in the middle of their room below... Monday the painters are coming and are also going to paint the ceiling in that room. I have no idea where I am going to put all their 'stuff.')

Moving right along, here is the bathroom. I picked out two shades: 'watery' and 'oarsman' at 50% (at the right). I am leaning to the darker one. I bought an assortment of towels of Target and they match either swatch. The lower part of the walls will be beadboard painted in our trimcolor.
From the hallway: (And we would like to repaint the hallway, too, because it is too yellow. The color ('stable hay' looks good in the living room with lots of light, but in the hallway it is not cutting it. But what color to paint the hallway? My head is hurting.
And the worst part yet... no, there is no relaxing in the tub ...
Mr. Burli has tried to figure out how to install the tub so it is level and does not rock ... all day long. I can't call the manufacturer, they are closed on the weekend. He wants it done today so tomorrow he can install the cement board... the tile guy is supposed to come Wednesday! So, things are happening, but then we get stuck again. And here is Mr. Burli having fun:
Back to the colors again. Here is the boys' room in the afternoon/evening light. I am planning on sewing (or rather not sewing) a new set of no-sew roman shades - in green, something that matches the hideous bedspread they picked out, I guess. The desk and shelves that go in the room both need to be painted (they are 2 different shades of blue) and JT picked a dark turquoise. So the colors are: navy, apple green and turquoise. Someone help me with the paint color! I want a nice neutral. JT said no to the grey, he thinks the wierd green-white looks good. I am going to go pick up some "yoga zen" or some such color to try. I hope it is soothing. Any other color suggestions? A color you really like? (In the picture below you can see the trim color above the samples - it is not white but sort of a warm, creamy tone.)

I like both colors in the bathroom. The oarsman will look great with the white trim.
For the bedroom, I don't know. I think the bedspread and run plus turquoise furniture might look good with red. I think you are trying for something more neutral, though, right?
Anyways, don't worry. You can always repaint. It will be done soon!
Hope things got settled with the tub (sorry, bad bad pun).
I like steph's idea of red! Although I would be tempted to paint the bedroom and maybe the hallway with Silence. (Oarsman also my pick for the bathroom.)
sorry to weigh in so late; i hope things are moving along for all of you.
