I have 90% decided to do it. I have 100% decided to remove the fish tile. Yes, that I know. But after I do that I think I will paint the room. And I think the color I will use is Revere Pewter. I mentioned that here.
I somehow feel that once I remove the fish I will have more grown-up color options. Like the fish were tying me to the "spa" and "light" type colors. When we bought the house, the room (ceiling and all) and the whole mater bedroom and closet were yellow. It was very...ummm...fresh.
The master is now Gray Horse. And it's lovely. The master bath is now Mineral Ice. All of this is Benjamin Moore, btw. I mean, obviously.
But, here is my question: do I paint the ceiling? It has thus far been integrated (see below). The slope and the skylight and all that - is the same as the wall color. Hmm. I feel like it might be too dark in the Revere Pewter, but the introduction of all the angles that would result from painting it white...well, it's already a very busy little room.
So, that's where I stand. The next Holiday House projects are the tile, the paint and, oh, some spackling of the holes in the Bun's ceiling. The good news is that while we tackle this little master bath refresh, the Bun will just swing in her room. Joyfully, I might add.
This is a good step for homeowners when they are making a significant designs and decorative ideas on their homes. I often find they have a hard time visualizing the transformation in their minds. I've heard about www.affordablepaintersvaughan.ca providing expert application with professional methods and quality tools and products on repainting.I think it's one of the importance home owners would consider.

I think the Revere Pewter will be a good choice of color for the room, even the ceiling. From the picture, it looks like the space is getting a good amount of natural light coming in from the outside, which means you probably have a window over there. Besides, you mentioned you also have a skylight there, so you surely won’t be lacking in sunlight during the day. The Revere Pewter will offset the light and create a cool, calming atmosphere. I think what would make the color look good at night is some indirect lighting to set a relaxed mood over there.
