What does colour say about you?

I was reading recently in House Beautiful about Colour expert Kate Smith revealing the meanings behind your colour choices.She was referring to the colours of rooms we may have in our homes, however it can represent on a smaller scale down to even a piece of furniture or accessory that we may be drawn to in a particular colour.........SO what do these colours say about our personalities & that perhaps if your drawn to them, even on a small scale, you may be trying to harness the energy of that particular colour!

What colours are you drawn too? I am personally drawn to all of these colours & have them all in different parts of my home....I'm not really sure what that says about me? Perhaps.....Confused!

Blue: 

You bring a no-nonsense attitude to most endeavours  and your strong belief in the things you undertake is often the key to their success," Smith says.

OFFICE REVEAL: Stenciled walls with chalk paint

House Updates......OFFICE REVEAL:

Stenciled walls......

WOW, How time flies my last post was a whole mth ago! 
Ive been so busy working on the Office & the Entry!
A while back I was telling you that I was updating every room in my home.
A little paint here & there ,a little tweaking, a little styling ( a little buying!! this is the fun bit!)
I have painted the kitchen....its almost done! Im dying to share it however I just need to call in the Electrician for the final few items. I will show you as soon as its done, I promise.
In the Office I have stenciled the walls in "Autentico's "Silver" chalk paint .

BEFORE

& AFTER

(Curtains still need to be hemmed)

 Painted console table underneath mirror in "Nearly Black"

Lamp shade painted in "Silver"

This wall still needs some more photos/pictures etc........ I have them they just need re matting & framing.

(I Haven't waxed the console table yet)

 So what do you think? 
I love it! It feels so much brighter, This room is the office/library & I decorated it for my husband as he always wanted that traditional "timber panelled" Office & well, as this is the very first room you see as you enter the  house & its not closed off I couldn't really go all out & still have the continuity that I wanted as the rest of the home is not all dark & in fact "I love WHITE !" so it really had to be a mix of things. I did paint the Media/ family room / formal lounge......in the same colour (I'll show you this room soon).I'm still a little unsure as to the direction that Im taking with colours in that room! This room is not completely finished yet! I'm still looking for a few decorative items (in white) & I haven't shown you the library shelves yet as I'm in the middle of working on them & Cleaning out my husbands crap!!). I am painting the back wall of the shelves in the "Nearly Black" ---- Ive done 1 so far & it looks good.
Next week I'll show you the Entry!
