Crown and Paint

The crown molding has begun to be installed.  

I love the difference it makes. 

This room is staying brown but, I'm thinking the ceiling may need to go a light gray blue.

The entire first floor will have it.

You can see that I'm trying to decide on a lighter paint color. These are both Sherwin Williams paint colors. The left one is Sedate Gray, the right one is Accessible Beige. Since everything in this house is brown or beige, I'm leaning to the gray. It has a hint of blue in it. In this recess there will be a white entertainment center, coming in July. It's going to have bead board on the back and that will be painted a contrast color. I may go with a gold color to echo the color of the kitchen. The current brown is just too dark for this room that only gets sunshine in the very early morning. The balcony roof causes it to always be dark. I'm trying to lighten it without painting it white. I think I'll go paint some more swatches. See ya.
