Hallelujah! We are finally living here, and loving it. It has been a whirlwind last couple of weeks. I had a dreamy vision of what it would be like to live here, but reality is, it takes a lot of work to get there! We are loving it though. It has been such a learning process. One that I am so glad I have been through, but I'll be waiting quite a bit to do it again. I can't show you too many pictures, as there aren't many rooms that are complete. But I'll show you what I can:
I'm thrilled with how the outside has turned out. Just need to finish the painting, and then I can show you the whole front!
The kitchen is one of my favorites. I chose Benjamin Moore Cloud for everything that is white. I think that contrast - although beautiful in many settings, isn't what I was looking for. I wanted the background to be just that - the background. I chose the colour to be the life of the room. Cloud white is a very warm white. I also like Oxford White which is nice with grey, but my pallet tended toward the more warm tones. In this grey climate we live in, I wanted my interior to feel more warm. Ive used a lot of grey, but again, a warmer grey. Benjamin Moore Collingwood was the main grey paint that I used.
This is the main fabric I am using to accent in this room:
And here is the mud room: I think it is every busy moms dream. The chalk board on the right is my grocery list (the kitchen is on the other side). And the chalk board wall on the left is for me to write reminders before I rush out the door!
And I leave you with these pretty pictures from my back yard today - ENJOY!
Lovely Lisa
ReplyDeleteWhere do you have collingwood painted? The walls of the kitchen appear white in the photos. Your kitchen is gorgeous by the way! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteCollingwood is in the living room and dining room, and my son's room with the orange wall.
