Hi Sugarplum!

{Dining Room} Pink! There It Is!

May 20, 2013

You guys didn’t disappoint when I offered up our Dining Room wall color to your vote, and I can’t thank you enough for your great feedback! After a family vote, and a Pinterest consultation, we went with my original plan, but gave it a kick in the pants!

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room 

Oh yes, we did!! We painted the walls pink and the ceiling red! If you’ve read this blog for more than a week, then you know we are not afraid of color (hello, navy bathroom and green door!). And, in this instance, all we had to lose was the cost of two gallons of paint. The Dining Room had come a long way (see before shots here), but it lacked energy, and that little something-something special.

Hi Sugarplum | Dining Room Drapes

Now there’s no putting this baby in a corner.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

The room positively glows, and the ceiling adds the unexpected touch I love in a room, not to mention, a big dose of energy.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

I could marry this ceiling, I love it so much. The red (Sherwin-Williams ‘Showstopper’ in flat finish) is the perfect masculine counterpoint to the pink, and keeps the room from being prissy, or too sweet. What I didn’t anticipate, though, is how much pinker and more intense it would make the walls.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room
  
First, the painter rolled the pink walls (Sherwin-Williams ‘Verbena’ in satin finish), and it matched the paint strip exactly. We clapped, and patted ourselves on the back for choosing the perfect sophisticated, barely-there, pale pink. (By ‘we,’ I mean me.)

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

But after the red went on the ceiling (only needed two coats…Sherwin-Williams paint gives the best coverage!), I walked in and literally gasped. First at how much I loved the red. Then at how much pinker the walls had become. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous, but it’s not exactly the subtle pink I was going for. I’ll live with it awhile before making any decisions, but right now I’m a little nervous. And funny enough, Mr. Sugarplum and our son LOVE the whole combination…and want the pink to stay as-is!

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

I love how the red ceiling ties to the Entrance Hall rug, and all the red accents throughout the Dining and Living Rooms.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room
Yikes! Those yellow undertones in the Entrance Hall need painting, fo sho.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

And the pink ties in with the Living Room bookshelves and rug. See, there was sort of a method to my madness!

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

The blacks and golds look more bold and glamorous now, and the wood tones even richer. The room positively glows…like you’re sitting inside a shell, or a genie lamp.

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red Ceiling Dining Room

Hi Sugarplum | Pink Walls & Red <br>Ceiling Dining Room

The wall color intensity changes, depending on the light and time of day. Sometimes I love it more than Fritos. Other times, I’m not so sure.

    I LOVE the pink walls and red ceiling. The room looks so different. Even I, as a Designer, would have questioned pink for the walls, but with the red ceiling it looks dynamite. I think the red accents around the room totally completes the look. Definitely sharing this space! xo Jenna

    So worth waiting for! Live withe pink for awhile–pink always looks like too much at the beginning but then somehow it harmonizes with everything as you live with it. You have such a fun sense of style and it has been fun to see this transformation :). Happy Monday!

    Cheery, friendly, warm and energetic (but not frenetic, which is a good thing) … I think that's a perfect combo for a space where people family & friends come together to share a meal. And your room definitely reflects the personality of the hostess, and that's just another level of "sharing" with your guests. I've painted red walls before (7 coats and never achieved the paint chip color) so the SW 2 coat coverage to get that red is amazing! Robin

    Okay… I wasn't a fan of painting the walls pink, mainly because I thought the pink was too washed out looking. But the fact that the red ceiling deepens the pink is a plus, in my opinion. I love it!

    I think you need some red accents on the right side of the room, tho. They all seem to be on the left.

    Love the red ceiling, too!

    It looks so fresh and just great. I've loved the red ceiling in our daughters bath – and never gotten tired of it. It's an 8' ceiling but the room has a lot of natural light, so I think ceiling height doesn't make much difference. Your room is big and so nice and bright – I think that's one of the reasons it's such a huge success!

    I love the pink! The red ceiling is great too although I'm not bold enough to pull something like that off. I'm off to get a sample of the pink color for my living room / dining room redo. But first I have to finish up the master bedroom. Well its barely started actually. It will be a pretty gray/violet color (which I haven't picked yet. Time for more samples).

    One of my Pinspiration photos was an image of your dining room before pink walls…and I decided a few months ago I wanted our formal living/dining room to be pink. But Mr. Traylor wasn't so sure…so I patiently waited…and the other day he randomly said, "I think it's okay if you paint the walls pink. I know whatever you pick will be beautiful." Yay!!! So imagine my surprise when I saw that you painted your DR pink!!! I love, love, love it! Thank you for confirming my outside the box decision 🙂

    What to DO with the piano? I look forward to finding out what you decide. Mine is a full-time workhorse (I'm an opera singer) but I can never figure out where to put it so that it's away from drafts and sunny windows. Not to mention that it's always piled high with on-the-go music projects and can become a bit of an eyesore.

    Great room! I can't believe how good pink and red look in a dining room! When we moved in to our first house 6 months ago we painted 3 bedrooms a bathroom and our laundry room with SW paint. We love it! We still have a lot to do, so I'd love to win the sweepstakes! 🙂

    Now you know I'm biased and generally love all things pink so I might not be the most objective person to comment but seriously…it looks SO good. I can't get over the transformation and the red ceiling…so bold and PERFECT! I've been really considering going from pink to white lately but seeing your room has put the breaks on my plans…you've single handedly re-vitalized my love for sweet pink!!!!

    Absolutely beautiful! As you show the rooms connecting, the red pulls everything together. Love the blacks and golds. I might have to paint a room pink now.

    I wasn't completely sold on the pink, and even less when I saw just the two testers of red on the ceiling, but then you painted the whole ceiling, it just came together and I LUUUURVE it! It looks like something out of a magazine, beautiful!

    Be still my color lovin heart!!! Pink and red is one of my fav color combos in fashion and it absolutely amazing in your home!! I love love love it. There's not a room in my house that's safe from the paint can and our hall is the next area on my list to de-neutralize! We have a great bank of cabinets that id love to see get a burst of happy color. Maybe mint or teal or something in the chartreuse family….

    It looks fantastic, and seems to represent your personality! I love that your boys love the pink. My boys have been teased for wearing pink shirts every so often, but they know what they like and they go for it, just like you. I'm currently painting my daughter's bedroom a coral-y pink. It may be too much, but it's just paint, right?!

    Not every girl can wear pink, but your DR can pull it off! I think pairing it with the red ceiling AND the drapes ended up being perfect. I love it! I have used many brands of paint over the years, but SW is a clear favorite.
