The wall is up and I am very happy with how it turned out! (Had a few last minute worries... glad to say I think they were unwarranted. Tomorrow the dry-wall finisher-guy comes to fill in all the cracks and make everything smooth and lovely. Then, dh will paint![Here's a photo taken Thursday evening, after the sheet-rock-expert-guy and his son came and did their thing.]
Ds's new bedroom will be in Benjamin Moore's Popcorn Kernel, a warm, light yellow. (He actually asked me to find paint the "color of popcorn" since he's such a movie fan and will be decorating the walls with his rather substantial collection of movie posters... I was tickled to find the perfect color with the perfect name!)
I think my new office/craft room/guest room will be painted in Benjamin Moore's Bleeker Beige (a horrible name but a nice neutral color.) I don't want a color that is too dramatic or attention-grabbing. I also want to feel calm when I go into the room, and not distracted with color.
The middle room (we can't figure out what to call it!) will probably also be in the same color -- it is just one hue darker than the color of our living room downstairs and the walls on the stairs, so there's some continuity there.
