365- Day 18

Day 18:
We had to run to Lowe's for plumbing stuff and since they are starting to finish our drywall tomorrow we're only about a week away from being ready to start...wait for it... PAINTING!!
I had colors in my head, but hadn't actually picked up samples or anything!
This is w/ my phone and doesn't accurately portray any of the colors, but I'll try to explain (Because I'm excited, not because you care!).
The top is an olivish greenish and a rusty orange. Both boys rooms are going to be done in these colors! B wants to share his room doesn't want to share his room wants to share his room, etc... soo I figured if they were both painted the same and bedding colors coordinated it wouldn't be a huge deal whatever he decides at the moment it's time to decide!
He wants his brother in his room, BUT he doesn't want him in a baby bed, that's his dilemma! I'm def. not taking Corbin out of a crib yet so B is going to have to decide here in a couple months! I think it's cute.
The next color is a med. creamy tanish color and a golden (like country goldish?) color. The tan will be on the entry, family room, dining room walls and up to the peaks of the ceilings above the wall shelves and the goldish color will be in the kitchen area.
The bottom blue is for the laundry room. It's actually a creamier/brighter blue than in this picture. I'm nervous about it, but think I will love it. I wanted something fun in there since I spend so much time in the laundry room and it's the mud room that will welcome me home from work every day. Our cabinets are fairly dark so I think this color will work well in there.
The next sample looks black and it's far from it-- it's a milky chocolate and it's for the boys bathroom. It's actually not as dark as I wanted, but there is no window in that room and so Ryan said I shouldn't go any darker... we'll see if I love it when I get it on the walls or if i decide to go darker (it's just what I have envisioned!).
The next color is a gray for our bedroom and the next one with it is called linen and it's for our bathroom (which might get changed).... i'm waiting on our shower curtain to come in (hopefully today) before I decide for sure on our bathroom!
I'm getting SO excited! i want to move in like TODAY!

So exciting!! I can't imagine having to pick out all those colors at once, I would stress out. It looks like you did a great job, can't wait to see them up on the walls!

YAY!! How exciting!! Love the colors you picked! I had SUCH a hard time picking colors for our house! Our walls kind of ran into each other and there wasn't a way to separate colors (if that makes sense) So I had to pick one MAIN color for our main floor.
