Good choice. Your version is much better.
I can see why the original owners went with yellow to brighten the room bit personally I love dark blue in that style of home
Really nice pick of color you have. 3 years ago when we moved, I insisted on the same color for one floor while the other had some similarly-dark off-white, around similarly wooden furnishings.
The dark tone of the blue can be noticeable in cloudy weather and winter light, but never regretted the tone.
Funny thing. When we bought the house, they got the city records to see how old it was, and they said it was always just kind of here. So we might be pushing over 200 years? I hate to make any claims though. It used to be a dairy farm before the city built in around it, and lived in and updated many times in between.
Love the Turkish lights. Have a few in our home and they are wonderful.
WOW. This is such a nice job!. I really like the combination of blue and wooden brown. And the plants too. It feels like a high-fantasy book!
