My Home – Paint Colors

I have been getting emails from readers asking about the paint colors in my home, so I thought I would devote this post to just that.  (I’m planning on adding them as a page too).  I know a “whole house tour” is also in order, and I’m working on it.  First I need to let go of my idea that things need to be “done” before I share them.  But then, when is any room truly done, right?

Here we go…

Master Bedroom – This was the first room in our home that I tackled, and is probably my favorite.  The color is Mineral Deposit, by Sherwin Williams.  Just the perfect blue-gray shade that is oh-so-soothing.  I swear, I feel more relaxed just stepping into this room.

My daughter’s bedroom is another one that was repainted before we moved in.  We went with a soft pink called “Priscilla” by Sherwin Williams.  Love that name for a paint color.  It looks just like you think it would.

My office has also had a facelift (still a work in progress).  I chose “Muslin” by Sherwin Williams.  This color could become a staple in my paint arsenal – a great neutral that is light, yet not at all cold.

There are still a multitude of colors in my home that are not my own doing.  Some are better than others. 😉

Much of my home is painted in this color – “Burlap” by Sherwin Williams (although the paint that was used is Porter Paints).  It’s in my family room, kitchen, main floor hallways and on my gallery wall in the basement.  I think the ceiling here in the great room was painted with the same Burlap color, cutting it by 25%.  (I say that because the paint cans in my basement are labeled as “Burlap 25%”).  Makes sense, right?

The laundry room is painted in “Blonde” by Sherwin Williams.

Friends don’t let friends paint their rooms “Cardboard”.

Some rooms are covered in my nemesis – wallpaper. 

Others, I have repainted, but still need to photograph.  Again, I need to move beyond the idea that they need to be finished to be “blogworthy”. 

Please tell me I’m not the only one who suffers from this affliction.
