I will be painting my home office next week. I picked the color Cavern Green from the Pittsburgh Paints line. I will be painting the trim white. Have any of you painted your rooms in similar colors? Just wondering if it made the rooms look small. If you have pictures that would be very helpful.

Thanks,
Jen

My sister painted her bedroom in my parents house a sage type green color, but I think for the trim she did a little of a cream color. It was still pretty white, just not pure white, if that makes since. sorry I don't have any pics, but it was really pretty!

I can't post pictures, but my livingroom and hallway are sage green.  I have medium color stained oak mouldings, so I did not paint that, but my curtains are cream with green and burgundy accents.  I pretty much used those 3 colors as my accents.  I love it!

I was never a "green" person before, but this summer I found myself choosing colors for my stairway/landing.    

My stairway opens to my burdgandy living room and has hunter green carpet.  So I chose sage green.   Originally planned on color-washing the wall that you see from the LR in golds etc., but ran out of time.   So I just painted it all sage green after I textured the walls....and all the trim including the stair railing is white.  It looks GREAT and I love it.    It did make it appear a little smaller, but remember, there are no windows.....so your office most likely has windows that would help.

I do not regret it at all and if I can find a pic, I'd post it...but I"m not sure where they are!   LOL!

Now I'm thinking of repainting the LR a cocoa color.  :)   I'm always changing and want to "update" my home.
