Paint and Wood
Well, 
after four years of living in a stark, white and off-white off-the-rack condo with mediocre furniture and an awkward layout, we've finally come to terms with the fact that we are without hope when it comes to interior design, and have handed the problem over to a professional. Rebecca visited us this week and helped us pick a colour scheme, and will be taking care of all the parts of the redecorating that require any kind of artistic talent, while Stella and I exercise veto power and our cheque-writing skills.
The floor will be beech. The walls will have paint on them. Non-white paint. There will be furniture.
Here are the Benjamin Moore colours: 
From the top left we have OC-96 gentle cream, CC-290 straw hat, CC-120 stone house, CC-210 dijon, CC-300 sombrero (the main colour for the living room walls), HC-14 princeton gold, HC-15 henderson buff, CC-810 hudson bay, CC-600 mossy oak, 2163-30 penny, and finally R-9930 villa.
