picked my paint colors

[Sara]

:) So far for paint colors I have

a sorta hot cocoa color for the living room/diningroom

lavender for Ally's room (she wanted purple, so it's sorta purple without screaming purple) The name is lavender and lace. :)

re-painting Zachary's room because of the giant picasso in there. I picked a very faint creamy yellow. (similar to what was there before the picasso)

then a green for our bedroom. It's not as dark as sage, but not as light as mint. I think they call it forest pine, but that makes it sound dark and it's not dark at all. I guess a muted sage, but not celery is about as close as I'm going to get to describing it. lol

Once this is done, we'll tackle removing wallpaper in the office, kitchen, and bathrooms. I'm undecided on colors for those rooms, but because the bathrooms have outdated tiles/tubs/toilets/sinks (50's pink in one and pale yellow in the other) I'm a bit limited in options. lol I really want to play down the pink. (man do I ever) lol

It is getting a little better though. :)

LOL about the pink. Love your colors! Woohoo it's really happening!

Those colors sound so soothing!

Two yrs ago I picked the livingroom/dining paint and it was a similar color, but it's been sitting in the basement for two yrs and I decided to get a more expensive paint and a new color although similar color for that area.

I wasn't sure if it was still good, but decided it was best to just buy new cans.

It's kinda silly that just painting is such a big deal here. We just never have time to paint and it's been off white walls in most of the house since we moved in. Very blah.

I would have liked to be more daring in paint colors, but with selling the place, I wanted to stay more neutral/muted colors. I wanted to enjoy the colors though too in case this place doesn't sell any time soon.

I love the colors you've picked. I think they will really warm the rooms up. Ya doing ceilings too? (ugh my least fav. part of painting, esp. on cathedral ceilings I've recently learned) Have fun!

ohhhhhhhhhhhhh your colors sound stunning :)

The colors sound very nice. Did you know that if you go to Lowes or Home Depot, they have a paint you can spray on tub/tiles/sinks to update them with out a lot of expense. I don't know the name and it is a process, but my brothers both have businesses where they refinnish these types of items. My one brother redid bathroom for Kenny chesney a couple of years ago....Anyway, maybe you could look into this to update your bathroom.
