I am trying to pick out colors for our new house.  I found this on a website.  What do you girls think?  Do you like the color?  I am thinking about doing this whole set up walking down our stairs in our house. 

I am trying to photo 3081039-1

I love espresso and other coffee colors. I think it's really elegant with crisp white baseboards, etc. It looks great with the unified frames (simple, black, etc.)!

The color is called Metallic Bronze.  I just wonder what the metallic will do on a wall.  Does anyone know?  I really like it with the black frames also.

Hmm, now that I'm looking at it from my phone and not my laptop, I can see that it's not espresso. I actually really like it, but I also would be a little hesitant about painting with a metallic. Some paint companies let you take him a small sample for just a couple bucks. Maybe you could get that and just try it in a section of one well-lit wall. I think it could be really lovely!

I think it looks really rich and nice!  As long as the area isn't too small/closed in to begin with.  Dark colors in small areas always make it feel smaller, however if it's a larger open area painting it darker can give a the space a more cozy feeling. :)  And I also agree with FCTF about making sure your baseboards are white and carpet is on the lighter side for it to have some contrast.

I hunted a little online and was able to find a closer pic of a metallic bronze paint... It has a pretty almost pearlescent sheen to it, but if it's not your thing I'm sure you could find something a little less shiny in an eggshell or semi-gloss. :)

Actually it is an open area.  I am going to try to get a small sample DUH!  Why didn't I think of that.  LOL

There is alot of shine to it and I'm a little leary of that.

Thanks girls!

I just read that metallic paint is awful to paint and when i went to Home Depot to get it they don't even sell Ralph Lauren paint anymore. So I need to find something comparable to this color now.
