Paint Colors

Lets talk painting, here are some of my favorite colors I've come across during remodels of my older house.  I'm really digging Behr paint colors from The Home Depot, and here are a few swatches.

For the front door I've done Peacock Feather accented by Raffia Cream. Still in progress.



For interior trim and doors I've selected Vanilla Custard


For the dining area I've chosen one of Behrs 2014 color trends, Offbeat


For any other area that needs freshening up, I've chosen Cottage White, like the laundry area, pantry etc 


Still undetermined are the paint colors for the living room and kitchen. I'll save the kitchen post for another day but here are two colors I'm debating on for the living area.

Spring has sprung

Blogging does not seem to be my forte. I don't post often enough but I like still keeping it around and having the option. Facebook or Twitter is so much more convenient to share things.

Alas, I find myself trying to update the house and actually finish a few projects in order to list the house. I've finished redoing the mantle over the fireplace, have picked paint colors, flooring, backsplash etc, and painted the front door teal today! It felt nice to paint it, the door was originally brown and boring and I love the bright pop of color now. I'd like to make a wreath to hang up if I find the time.

I'm also currently trying to learn the ukelele and my new "old" film camera and oh yes as well contemplating a lot of writing!! Feels good to get some creative outlets out as well as expecting warmer weather soon. I am NOT a winter person and am ready for spring!
