This is the den downstairs- pale yellow walls with a red accent wall. I like accent walls, but the red was just too - red. So we painted it a charcoal gray.
It's peaceful, soothing, and looks fantastic!
We tried out about 6 different shades of green for the kitchen, which was originally tan. We settled on the one between the green leaves on the trees and the blue sky with the birds- it's called Pine Needle.
This is exactly what I wanted. It's a neat color -it looks green in some lights and gray in others. Either way, it looks perfect.
The living room is still a work in progress - we're probably going to paint it a peachy color. But at least it's functional and comfortable now!
The one room that's done - the dining room. It was definitely the easiest room to unpack :-)Next on the list:
- kitchen island (we're rebuilding an old one we found at a thrift store)
- paint foyer/hall/upstairs landing/stairs
- paint living room
- find bench/coffee table/ottoman
- unpack the entire upstairs (other than what we've really needed, like my research stuff, it's still in boxes and not exactly neatly arranged boxes, either)
- paint the bedroom (we're thinking a greeny color called Ocean)
- plant the daffodils and tulips
- clean up the yard (ugh)
- and all sorts of other fun stuff. Like making art for the walls. Or updating the electricity or plumbing.
Yay, house. It's so fun to be able to change things.
