Did You Know?
My goodness, I cannot believe how many paint colors exist in the world. We are at the paint color stage. Well, let me back up a bit. We are going to build, but because I am a bit anal about things, and so is Shannon, we are picking and pricing most things out in advance. Our builder actually loves that we know what we want and have a bagillion spreadsheets to prove it, thanks to Shannon. Back to the paint. We were at the Sherwin Williams paint store today and I cannot believe how many shades of every color exist on the earth. HOLY PAINT COLORS! Anyways, we are going to go with a base color throughout the entire house, and it will NOT be white and then we will do accent walls or possibly a wall in different rooms. It is cheaper to have one base color sprayed through the entire house and then we will do the other painting ourselves. I am breaking away from my greens and becoming a bit more "paint adventurous." I have settled on a burgundy, wine color for the dining room area leading into the kitchen. Not sure where the other colors will go, but have a color called "earthen jug" (burnt orange) picked out, some blues and then some dark greys/browns picked out. Not sure where they will go. Zoe and Hailey have every shade of pink and purple picked out. This process has been a lot of fun so far. We have house plans that we have modified and changed with our builder and are just waiting for them to come back from the drafters in a working form so we can finish cabinet design etc. I think we are getting pretty much everything we want. It is bigger than originally planned, but I want another baby anyways!! :)
