The Perfect Color

If you've ever been to our home, you know that at one point in our lives we were HUGE fans of the dark, bold, ugly colors. Pumpkin Pie ring a bell? At the time, we thought that these colors were great and were a true representation of our personalities. Apparently, our personalities have changed! After seeing how great our hardwoods looked we decided that we needed to have our home painted. We also decided that this time around we were hiring a professional to get it done QUICKLY! This is what our home looked liked with our bold color choices (aka BEFORE our most recent paint job).

Living Room BEFORE - obviously in the midst of being painted!
Hallway BEFORE - Color Blocking in the home!?!
Office BEFORE- Pumpkin Pie anyone?!?
Guest Room BEFORE- I wish my guest room looked like this. But... the walls were painted this color!
Master BEFORE - One word! DARK!
Slumber Party for one night while everything was covered in plastic! This picture is proof of who is the pushover when it comes to the dogs!!
Living Room AFTER - Almost the same color  "Accessible Beige-Sherwin Williams"
Hallway AFTER - No more color blocking! Continued the color from the living room here.
Office AFTER - My fave color by far! "Watery - Sherwin Williams"
Guest Bedroom AFTER - Still a little green! "Recycled Glass - Sherwin Williams"
Master Bedroom AFTER- Much lighter! This color is tricky. It is a blue with grey undertones in natural light and more of a bluish green in artificial light. I love it!"Sea Salt - Sherwin Williams"
So, there you go! We still have to hang things in all the rooms except the living room. I think I want to change out some accessories too. We shall see! Have a great day friends!

What do you think? What are some of your favorite paint colors?

  1. I loved this palette when I saw it in the brochure. Seeing it in your home actually makes me love it even more. We had the color "October" in our kitchen, so what does that tell you! We all need a change once in a while. Our home is definitely going thru some changes. The Coastal colors are so calming...Thanks for sharing!
