First thing this morning, I was forced to make a snap decision on the paint color for the knitting room. I went to the home depot web site and selected a shade called, Sonata. I loved the name and it's a beginning for this very special room. Still not convinced what I'll do with the rest of the room, I'm thinking basic shelves from Ikea and a rug from my favorite tchotchke store, Leon and Lulu's.
The chair I'll use is the rocking/glider I used to rock my babes when they were just itty-bitty creatures. And I'm on the hunt for a funky desk to use as a work station. Think George Jetson, or rather, Jane.
The windows will be a challenge, but for an organic look, I'm thinking bamboo.
It's coming together, and it all started with a promise from my sweety to get the painting done today. I'm so glad he did.
Thank you, honey.
Of course, it doesn't escape me that he likely wants a place for me to hide my yarn away, but I like to believe he's painting that room because he loves me.

ooh, that looks lovely. I hope it becomes a room you will love to spend time in. And of course he loves you
It looks almost silver - so soothing and beautiful [I am sure it is a grayish bluish?]
I love it - and your room/hallway looks just like our did a few weeks ago when we painted Wallene's. hee

I came across this table yesterday:

Sonata looks like a great color. Anything but Navaho White is a 10 in my book.
The sonata that comes to mind with this lovely paintwork is, of course, the Moonlight Sonata. How peaceful and what a great foil for all the lovely yarn colors of your stash.
I'm off to clean up some clutter in my room...I'm sure there's some clean lines under the stuff.
Happy decorating.
Looking good Rudee, I found some great heather for ponchos for my grands. Got one done this week. If my hands and wrists hold our I will get 2 or 3 more done. LOL
QMM
I love the color and the sound of the color.
How sweet your hubby is!
Soon...a place for everything and everything in its place.
of COURSE it's because he loves you! silly girl!

How lovely that is; can't wait to see the finished room! Still think it's funny that you and yarnharlot are doing this at the same time! Have you seen hers? Oh and ps, thanks for the comments on my sweater!
Rudee, that is such a peaceful and tranquil color. I can't wait to see it all finished. Hubs did a great job of painting.
a room of one's own. i am officially horribly jealous.
This blue reminds me on the blue that my daughter wanted (and got) when she was a teen. With a yellow ceiling, and...she wanted me to paint angels on the ceiling! I never gave her a straight answer, but life goes on, and she forgot about that part:)
Me thinks that bamboo would fit well!
Look at you guys with the blue border tape and everything!! Impressive!! Love the color and the room idea; think you are going to love it:>)
True love!
The room is not a knitting room..it is a work of art! Be proud!
