Family/Playroom Inspiration

Well, things are coming along here. I've taken off the sockets and painted behind them... that's progress, right? I still haven't actually gone to the paint store to pick up the gallons of paint i'll need. Oh well. We're going out of town with friends this weekend, so there won't be anytime to paint. But, hopefully I'll find some curtains and decorations for the room AND I'll get to go to ikea to pickup our cubes. Yay! Here's to hoping that they'll fit in the car.
So, here's what we have so far:
Wall Color: Sherwin Williams, Comfort Gray


Fireplace Color: Valspar, Hazy Stratus (which looks much grayer in person)


Ikea Shelving Unit

Finally Found

Finally found the one! It only took 10 paint samples, hours at the paint store and researching on pinterest but I've finally settled on Comfort Gray by Sherwin Williams for the family room. What. A. Relief. Maybe I can get some sleep now. Below is an example of the color, thanks to Pinterest. I can't wait to have it up. I'm also painting the fireplace gray. I'll have before and after pictures shortly.

Paint and Wallpaper

Feeling very hopeful that I've found the perfect paint sample at Sherwin Williams today. Excited to go home at put them on the wall. Before long there's going to be more paint samples on the wall than original paint.... maybe I'll just go with that :)

While I was at the paint store, waiting on my samples to be mixed,  I perused the Modern Home wallpaper sample book. In LOVE with a few options for below the chair rail in the dining room. I'm usually anti-wallpaper, and still am for the most part, but I really loved some of the options.  These are just a few of the pretties. The pictures don't do them justice- they're beautiful, textured paper. After the family room is done the next project is the dining room. Yay!

Welcome!

Hello, there! Welcome to the blog.

We've been in our current house about four months now and I'm going crazy for inspiration for a paint color for our family/playroom. Suggestions are appreciated. Other than that, the house progress is coming along lovely. This house isn't really in need of any major projects (unlike our last house- wow, we completely  remodeled the entire house. Fortunately it paid off and we sold it fairly quickly) but I definitely want to make some changes to make it "ours."

In the past four months the laundry room and Graham's abode have been pained (the first day actually- thanks to my Dad!), the master bedroom and one of the guest bedrooms have been painted and now I'm searching for right paint colors for the family room as well as the hallways.... I don't want my house to look like painting disaster, so, my next step is to come up with a color pallet for the house. Similar to the one below, not the colors- but the idea. I want a cohesive look, so I think this will help direct me. Okay, on to the paint store for samples. Have a great day!
