Dark or light side?

<p>Hello all! Hope you had a great weekend! We took a little road trip to the Chicago area for a couple drum corp shows (for hubby), Legoland (for the kiddo) and IKEA (for me). It was a fun, quick trip! </p> <p>So now that the powder room is done I’m moving on to a room I’ve been itching to change up for a while – our master bedroom. I made some changes <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2013/02/changes-in-master.html">earlier this year</a> using things I already had, and the room got a <a href="http://thriftydecorchick.blogspot.com/2011/06/master-bedroom-redo-part-two.html">few other changes</a> a couple years ago. </p> <p>We have a new addition coming to the room that kind of spurred a new redo on but I’ve been wanting to change some things up for a while – No. 1 on my list is getting rid of the striped wall behind our bed. It’s given me the itches for a few years now. </p> <p>But my biggest dilemma before I can really get moving is the wall color – I’m torn between the allure of a deep, dark wall color and the light and bright look. I STILL can’t decide. Every time I think I have I see a new picture and it takes me back to the dark side. Or light. Or dark. </p> <p>You get the idea. </p> <p>I’m drawn to the moody, comfy feeling of a dark room:</p> <p><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-LEStIICV4_s/Uchv83toMbI/AAAAAAAAeOM/VLQkFTfToxQ/s1600-h/259660734735117199oMN8gHy5c%25255B5%25255D.jpg"><img alt="dark walls bedroom" border="0" height="607" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-GvrE2b4cLgE/Uchv9QZwoRI/AAAAAAAAeOU/ZLqNzdYV86s/259660734735117199oMN8gHy5c_thumb%25255B3%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px" title="dark walls bedroom" width="500" /></a></p> <p align="center">(<a href="http://greigedesign.blogspot.com">source</a>)</p> <p>Did you notice the trim is painted the same color as the walls?
