Paint seemed like a crazy thing to invest in for the house, but I so happy we did! It is amazing what a fresh coat of paint on the trim, doorways, doors, and walls will do for a house. We're using Benjamin Moore "Ben" paint (mom, go ahead and start singing the song...). They have so many colors to pick from but we got some great advice from our local National Lumber in Newton.
Here are a couple of shots of the parts that are more finished. First up, the master bedroom.
I LOVE this color! It looks a little darker/browner in this picture than it is in person. Its really a warm, sage green color. I have never really lived in houses that had much color on the wall but it definitely makes it feel like its our house! Next up: Skip's office.
Skip was dead set on a red color (tuscon red), and it looks pretty great. He weasled his way into the office with my beloved stained glass window...but its a great little room. The red background in the cabinets really brought out the lovely jigsaw in the edges, so we asked our carpenter what he could do about just cutting it straight. He said he'd throw it on our tab, ha. Finally, the hallway.
I also love this color (wood ash!). It is very light so it makes the hall feel very open and bright. And tell me you can't see those doors sparkle in the background...they are so shiny!
We are 8 days from the move...I guess I better start packing!
