New Dining Room and Hall Paint! (I know....AGAIN!!)

Well, yet again those who know me know I love change. However, I wasn't the ONLY one in this house who was tired of the Brandywine color, lol. We decided on a color called Pavestone by Sherwin Williams, of course....it's a neutral color without being beige or khaki which I just can't do, lol. I just love color, and lots of it which is obvious if you look in our home. It's more of a grayish tone, but you can see hints of a slight tan in it which is why we chose it cause we can both live with this color. It's actually probably my favorite color in the house, and yes that includes the living room. Here is what our dining room and hall color looked like the first time we painted: Here is the second time we painted it Brandywine: And here is the hall in Pavestone: And here's the dining room in Pavestone: That big wood unit we have (which is older than dirt), is going to be painted Heirloom White and distressed when it's not cold and rainy out. Until next time....

Updated: Front of house DONE!!!

Well, the columns have been painted and have been done for a while. I've just been procrastinating on getting pics. We need to re-caulk (is that a word?) where the wood was nailed together and add another coat of white paint. So, without further ado here is a reminder of what our house looked like when we moved in: And, here it is now after new columns, and landscaping: And, here is our back patio....which we now love and have used every night since we got the canopy: Now we just have to finish the inside. We've decided to hold off on painting the other two bedrooms because we wanted to figure out what to do with the ceilings first. We have old, ugly acoustical tiles in there (yuck!) and I would rather have a smooth ceiling like we did in the other rooms with tiled ceilings, our budget just didn't have room for the guest rooms at the time. So, we've gotten in touch with someone who is coming out to do that hopefully soon, we've just got to buy sheetrock, tape and mud. Then we will be able to paint, add new door/window trim and crown moulding....then paint and install our new interior doors. Almost been three years here, so I'm ready to have it done!
