Would love to know where you'll be shopping for your wallpaper. Color drenching was on my vision board for this year and I didn't even know it had a name!

Blue seems more YOU - although I really don't know you! ;-) The green seems a little more reserved - and although I do really love green - your family doesn't seem reserved. All that to say, my powder bath is the "bougie bathroom" as my sons like to call it. Definitely more formal, and yes, bougie than the rest of our house.

A great place for inspiration - https://www.farrow-ball.com/how-to-guide/design/colour-drenching. And check out their greens before you decide on blue! Who ever heard of feral children running rampant in a blue jungle?

Farrow & Ball is a favorite of mine - thank you for this article! You make an excellent point about the blue jungle…

My last 3 houses have all had orange living rooms. I chose different oranges every time. My new house does not have an orange living room, but I did color drench the grandchildren’s bunkroom in a color called cast iron that is a deep dark olivey green. I did the ceiling too! It is very cozy and cave like and they love it!

Ooooooh! I bet it looks fabulous. I feel like the ceiling is a must - really ties it all together. I’d love to see a pic!

I'm leaning towards blue! I'm sure you are already on this train of thought but would recommend a more organic pattern for the wallpaper since you have some unique walls :)

I'm also leaning towards the blue! Also, so wise. You've always been my smartest friend.

I just helped my bestie color drench her bedroom is the prettiest gray and it looked awesome! Trying to convince my husband that we should do our bedroom now 😂
