bringing color home!

As many of you know, Matt & I bought a new house together. So over the past few months we've been very busy with that, house hunting and finishing up selling the old house and packing, packing, packing. Three weeks ago (today!!!) we finally, it seemed like finally, got the keys to our new house. That weekend brought on lots of painting.

 the night after we got the keys, we went to the house and talked about colors. these were our ideas.

 we knew we wanted an accent wall and this Mandarin from Sherwin Williams was the perfect choice.

 the gray we used in the living room was darker than our original pick.

Matt was leaning towards the Essential Gray so we brought samples to try out. 

This was definitely the way to go, way to go Matt!

and we used North Star in the kitchen.

It was a long few days, painting a large living room, kitchen hallway, bathroom (white) and our bedroom. Paint always helps it make feel like home and feel like home it does. The final picture I took last Friday, it felt so good to be standing there in the kitchen, it felt like home!
