Notre foyer est à la mode!

At last, we've finished painting the foyer. The color? Oh well, we've finally decided to paint it mauve. I'm not really sure on how it is called in English but it looks like violet and baby pink mixed together. Well I guess it's called the same or lilac-purple could be the right translation. I find it a bit shocking at first for I'm not used to of having live colors at home. The colors we have mainly, are green and white. In our salon, we put bricks and painted the rest of the walls in light olive green. In the bedrooms, we opted for white color and in the kitchen, we put our tiles in diamond-shape and they are in different colors: in green, yellow, light yellow, light brown and beige. So the idea of painting the foyer mauve was a little hard to "accept" at first. But my husband assured me that it's going to be joli as it had to be the contrast of the color we have in the living room. When we finished, I realized that it really looks pretty. But I thought it has to be really lighten up so we then went to Castorama and bought the light fixture that costed us 120 Euros; oh that's ok, it illuminates so clearly and so beautifully the paintings and picture frames we hang on the walls.

Chouette!!!
