My last blog post was about picking out paint colors. I stressed and stressed about this and then decided to stop thinking about it for a week or 2. Yes, I was actually able to stop thinking about it. The day before we signed for the house, I went to the paint store with my paint color ideas. I had completely decided on my living room color but was having trouble with the kitchen color. I bought 3 paint samples. I ended up being very hesitant about both kitchen colors. I had read enough in blogs about my living room color to know that I should just use it. The kitchen was a different story. I had a Pinterest picture as my inspiration and no idea what color to use! After painting both colors on the wall and hating both, I decided to just go a shade lighter and pray that it would be okay!!!
We headed back to the paint store and bought all supplies. Rebekah had sent me a few colors after looking at my inspiration that she thought looked like my color. I only remembered the name of one of those and went with it. The guy showed me the paper color swatch. I held it against my other paper color swatch, it was lighter. He asked if I wanted another paint sample. My answer? "Nope! I am just going to do it! And I did.
Once we started painting on the walls I hated both colors I picked. I felt slightly panicked because we had just bought like 6 gallons of paint and I wasn't going to love it. I was stuck! No returning it to the store!! Then it was done...
Guys. I LOVE it!!!! I love my living room. I love my kitchen. It makes me the happiest to sit where I can see both colors together at the same time. These colors are perfect!!!!
We have done so much work so far! We have tons more to do. I hope to keep you posted! Here are a few pictures of the process. I will post more pictures later!!
