Paint Colors

Now that the house is "set-up" for the most part its time to start tacking projects room by room and the first on the list is painting the office.

Our house was a flip by a real estate agent so while there are some very nice upgrades (new bathrooms, granite counter-tops in the kitchen, new appliances etc.) there are also some bad things including painting the entire house the same color.  Hate it.  While the color is not so bad, its not so good either.

Since I work from home I currently spend most of my time in the home office so its the first to get the paint job. 

We have honed in on a light gray color for the room.  We want something that lightens the room up a bit but isn't white and will create some contrast between the walls and the door frame/floor boards/closet.

We have had these potential colors on the wall for a few weeks and finally decided on Seed Pearl. Next step...paint!

We will be sure to post some before and after pics so stay tuned.

  1. Hallie - Love the grey's! We painted a bathroom in a grey. It's hard to pick one that's not too blue once you cover a wall in it. Choose carefully!
