I had the best day yesterday! Scott and I had an appointment with a color expert from Farrow and Ball. Recently we painted our family room. I wanted to try out the 'amzing in light' 'made in England' paint. Was it all worth it? What made it better than paint from Home Depot or Lowes?
Oh my goodness. I still don't have photos of our painted family room but we are in love with this paint and the color we chose for our family room. The girls tell me that it looks like Calico Critters in there. (I promise to take some photos this weekend and post them here!)
I had chosen the wall color from a recommendation (online, a house account I adore) but when we went to purchase the paint this 'color expert' recommneded a trim color if we were painting the trim in that room. And the trim (including the fireplace) changed the room more than even painting the walls. It went from a fine but kind of boring room to the coziest spot in the house... pure Calico Critters. 💕
Well, with the family room done we decided to meet with this color expert to talk through some other parts of our house. We were bit by the Farrow and Ball pain bug, that's for sure!
He worked with us to choose:
~ a main house color (entryway, hallway downstairs, up the stairs, and hallway upstairs... all one color)
~ a living room color (still keeping it in the green family but a huge change (including that fireplace)
~ kitchen
~ dining room (yes... we have chosen a wallpaper and I am in love!)
All of these rooms, all of these projects will take so much time. Scott does it all himself and can only work on evenings and weekends and there is still a whole lot to do around home in the summer but bit by bit we are going to tackle all of our downstairs.
Sure, I wish I could snap my fingers and have it all done, but I also kind of enjoy working on it together as a team and seeing it unfold slowly.
I am so excited!
