I painted all our bedrooms "Sweet Bluette" from BM and I love it. #1 has the same airy, light quality. A light blue can be tricky- you don't want it to look juvenile, but sophisticated which can be tricky.<br /><br />Personally, I love hearing about your cabinets!

It felt like I was entering an operating room when I just wanted a Coke.<br />Plus, it has a little more color to it, which can lend itself to an accent color.Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13645368564721757792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-10970565476906361272011-03-15T18:08:18.120-04:002011-03-15T18:08:18.120-04:00I definately like #2 better! #1 feels too "b...I definately like #2 better! #1 feels too "baby boy" #2 seems like a color that I would love to be surrounded by!tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10770586948772282359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-40016390793756099902011-03-15T17:50:26.475-04:002011-03-15T17:50:26.475-04:00Wow, the white on the cabinets looks really good s...Wow, the white on the cabinets looks really good so far.<br /><br />I think if you are going to add red accents and it's going to be Cath Kidston-ish then you have to go with #1 because I think #2 looks a bit purple.<br /><br />But...I don't know how true color is on a laptop screen.<br /><br />Either of those blues is going to look good anyway.KLShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01029824457176865215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-14424695454386068962011-03-15T17:15:19.967-04:002011-03-15T17:15:19.967-04:00I like the 2nd one best.I like the 2nd one best.Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-4992750410301052062011-03-15T16:52:46.925-04:002011-03-15T16:52:46.925-04:00i like #2 better...i think it'll be really nic...i like #2 better...i think it'll be really nice in cotrast to the white.<br /><br />elkesten at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-73733411175329731912011-03-15T16:52:40.289-04:002011-03-15T16:52:40.289-04:00I like #2 the best.

Right now the blues are next to the yellow you are getting rid of so we are judging it based on the yellow - not the new white of the cabinets. Good luck and remember you can always paint over it (surely the cabinets are the hard to paint - this is just wall paint, much much easier).anotheryarnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04924336268700259079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-5201942939134552882011-03-15T16:38:04.522-04:002011-03-15T16:38:04.522-04:00#2 because #1 looks frosty to me, which I don'...#2 because #1 looks frosty to me, which I don't like!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4225806011147924723.post-57272557410677135662011-03-15T16:31:59.121-04:002011-03-15T16:31:59.121-04:00I like #1.
