#2 - Benjamin Moore Moonshine is an AMAZING color. You'll be surpassed how different color looks on a wall at different times of day and there's nothing like letting it seep into your brain over a few days. Swatch every wall so you can see how different light plays with each color. Paint them in the same color order everywhere and see how they sit with you for a few days. #1 - get some sample paints and start painting swatches on walls. So some thoughts from my recent DIY work: This post spoke to my heart because we have been in our house for a year and have slowly been repainting all the main living areas. Would you like an actual tour of the terrible kitchen complete with ranting commentary on the foolishness of the miniature BROKEN dishwasher? would that be fun for you? until 2 a.m.Ĥ) Some other option which you will fill in right there in that pretty little combox. The B6? The yellow?ģ) Use the B6 everywhere and stop trolling Pinterest non-stop from the hours of 10 p.m. 06 at all and pick something else entirely ( Moonshine from Benjamin Moore seems interesting maybe.?)Ģ) Use the B6 in the living room but choose a darker/more saturated version for the brighter rooms. You can see that chip up there in the bottom half of that very first picture if you're so inclined.ġ) don't use the Bisque. Just.yeah.Īnd here's the chip with the countertop sample, floor sample and cabinet door sample (which is the trim color, don't forget) on the floor of the kitchen during the day.Īdjacent to the kitchen is the laundry room, which we're planning to paint the same yellow that we used in the old laundry room because I want to recreate as much of that magic as possible. Yes, that is DUCK TAPE holding the countertop to the wall. Just this plastic shelf screwed into the wall to balance your phone precariously upon. There are no cabinets or counters on either side of the fridge. Like whoa, can you see the cabinets? And the yellow countertops? And the upside down, non-gfci outlet. I'm gunning for a complete do-over once the old house closes, people.

This kitchen! Have I given you the full tour of this mess? I don't think I have. Tell me what you think.Īll the trim in here will also be that same white from the first picture regardless of wall color choice. This is another room with a lot of natural light during the day and I feel like this color might not work in here because of that.

It's just a tiny bit off and makes my skin look like I'm suffering from the stomach flue at all times. I feel like it'll be too sterile to have this color all over the place in here, but the current color has to go. This is a south and west facing room, so colors are way more washed out in here. Apparently I'm a little obsessed with blue living rooms.? Pretty sure it's gonna look killer with the white trim and be nice with my precious gigantic red sofa. This is bluer than I had originally planned, but I think I like it for this room.

So I was going for a cool, light grey that would complement the brick of the fireplace. ( All the trim and faceplates will be the traditional white of the kitchen cabinet door sample you see up there in the first photo ) Here's the paint chip in the north facing living room. That's where you come in! Because I need to think this out loud and you need to help me because you are the nicest. I want to sort of key into the old timeyness of it, so don't want to go too trendy with my design choices. So it's really choppy and not cohesive and we want to design the whole thing at the same time, which is why it's taking so long to get going. And then there are 3 or 4 additions stuck onto the original part. Buuuuuut the original basement is from the late 19th century. So the house is a two story traditional, supposedly built in 1930.
