We say if you want to paint the plantation shutters, paint them how you want to see them in your space. We think you should definitely choose a fun wallpaper. If you decide you don\\u2019t like the plantation shutters, you can always take them down and do a fun Roman shade. Some of us really hate the plantation shutters (hint: Caroline) and are in favor of taking them off! As far as lacquer goes, you could do that or you could just do a high-gloss; we definitely wouldn\\u2019t do a matte. Have fun and make it as dramatic as possible because that seems to be what you\\u2019re really aiming for! We would say the Oyster Bay paint color is more of a neutral than anything bold, so it would be nice to use in the whole space. However, if you haven\\u2019t picked your wallpaper yet and you definitely want to use one, we would wait to pull a color from there. We would also paint the ceiling too!\\nWe are excited for you! We think it\\u2019s going to look great and would love to see the after photos!\\n\\nMentioned in This Episode:\\n\\nColordrunk Designs\\n\\nColordrunk Designs on Instagram\\n\\nSoutheastern Showhouse"
