I too think you should frame it! I actually have similar swatches sitting next to me as I write, but they don't go together as nicely as yours. Color not so much of a strongpoint for me...now you know why I have only one room painted! :) What gorgeous colors, and how very cool that you were drawn to them in the driftwood.

I can see the oranges and the blues in that driftwood from the beach. Very purdy! I'm actually in the midst of re-doing our bedroom. I was hoping that it would be a 1 day project, but it looks as if it's gonna be more like a 2 and a half. (And we'll be sleepin' in the guest room tonight!) The colors I picked were more of a warm, cozy, "farm or barn" kind of feel. Hehe! I'll post pics to my blog of the before and after. Nice colors that you picked!

The gold on the paint block looks like the silk curtains I made, and the grey/black velvety upholstery fabric matches, too. Oh, and this weekend I picked up 10 more yards of the greatest "green/gray" silk fabric that looks like it's quilted upon itself -- another room, perhaps. We'll see. Did you measure the windows? I need to get started on the dining room curtains, and if you have measurements and fabric in mind for any more rooms, let me know. 'Can't wait to see you and Colin. Love and hugs YMIL Miss Penelope–
