Homeschool Room Paint Color

I have had several people ask what the paint color is for the Homeschool Room. It is called Spring Garden Walk #7768 by Olympic.

It was a hard color to pick out because I wanted it to look pretty and also not be overstimulating for school...does that make sense? I wanted the kids to be a part of the decision since they too will be spending a lot of time in there.

We wanted bright and cheerful. I think we achieved both without being too in your face. I think having a lot of natural light in there helps too! If we didn't, I think it would appear much brighter!

Home Tour - B's Bathroom

B's bathroom is also the guest bathroom so I wanted to make sure it was not too kiddish.

I LOVE the paint color in here. It is called Shark Loop by Valspar! It is a beautiful grey/blue.

White subway tile -done by my sweet husband! Many long hours working to get all the tile work done in the house!

Scot found these cool square shaped bathroom  faucets on clearance. Perfect for something a little more masculine for our boy and saving money in the process!

Continuing with the square shape we found these light fixtures at Lowe's and the square mirror from Kirkland's. The mirror was only $15. You can really save some money when you shop outside the box!

The bathroom cabinet we got a steal of a deal on. You can read about it again here.

Home Tour - The girl's bathroom

This is the girl's Jill-and-Jill bathroom as we like to call it :) Having 3 girls share a bathroom was a challenge because I wanted to plan for when they are all teenagers and using the vanity area a lot more! We inset the vanity area so their is plenty of room to walk behind each other if they are wanting to go to the toliet/shower room. That helps tremendously with making it feel more spacious!

We bought this cabinet at Lowe's. You can read about the good deal we got on it here. We had the painters paint it the same Aged Barrel color we painted the master vanity.

The mirror's came from Kirkland's for $18 each!

The wall color is called Chenille Spread by Olympic (#8097). I love the pale pink and brown together!

Homeschool Room Bookcase

Recently, Glidden was giving away free paint and we were able to get a quart of our choice of color.

I chose Cobalt Blue knowing I wanted to paint the bookcase in the homeschool room. I love how it turned out!

Not bad for a free quart of paint and a few hours of work, huh?!

Home Tour - Dining Room

The home tour continues....

This is our dining room.

If you are at the front door, this room is on the left.

The paint color is called Truly Olive by Glidden. I absolutely LOVE it!!!! I also used it on the kitchen island to help tie the two rooms together.

Island

The island is getting primed. I am so excited to see how the color turns out. It will be painted Truly Olive the same color as my dining room.

I am already in love with all the storage in my "continent". It is just how I imagined!

This is the side where the bar stools will be. There will be cabinet doors and shelves inside for storage space. I am so glad we were able to capture this otherwise wasted space.

Sorry about the sideway picture - I cannot get it to turn?? Anyway this is the end facing the breakfast room. It will have shelves for display.

Lots of drawers - deep drawers!

All the drawers and doors waiting to be painted!

Mud Bench

The mud bench is installed and primed. I cannot wait to see it painted. I chose to paint it the same color as the island in the kitchen - Truly Olive. It is a bold choice but I love it already and it is just the primer :)



Oh the Choices!

This week we are picking paint colors for the house! I know several colors that I want already, but I need to decide between a few different colors for the main area of the house. I want to use a main color through most of the  downstairs and up to the second floor. You can see the main area upstairs from the front door so I want to use the same color in that area as well.

Lots of rooms and lots of colors...so exciting and a little nerve racking making sure it is the right color! In case you are wondering....yes, the kids are getting a say in their room.

I will show you what we pick as soon as it starts going up on the walls!

Paint Colors - Main Area

For the main area of our house, I am leaning toward Eddie Bauer's Pecan for the paint color.

Paint Color - S's Room

We have been trying to decide on paint colors for the new house. After seeing this picture over at Just a Girl, I think we have found the color for S and M's room.

I asked S what she thought of the color and she said, "Oh I love it! Can I have it for my room?" I think that settles it don't you?
