Mark and I spent some time last night on the Benjamin Moore website. They have a feature that allows you to select a room by type (living, dining, kitchen, etc.) and then choose a paint color, trim color, and accent color. It's amazing!!! You are able to transform any room of your choosing in just seconds. I have found a few colors that I think will be perfect in our new house.
I like Fallen Timber for the living room and Newburg Green for the dining room. Both rooms have a lot of windows so I think the trim to wall color ratio and the light coming in from the windows will balance out these darker shades nicely.
For the master bedroom, I like Woodlawn Blue because it feels serene and spa-like. And for the guest bath, I think Charcoal Slate would be a fun color. Imagine the punch you could give the room with brightly colored towels!
Can you tell that all I've been thinking about is paint colors???? I thought it would be fitting for this Thursday to paint the town Pink and Green...
Be sure to play along with Trish at Pink Preppy Lilly Lover.
I used that cupcake picture today too!! Great minds? Absolutely!
ReplyDeleteI am so excited about you getting into your new house. I simply can't wait to see it all decked out for the holidays. Sip hot chocolate in front of one of the fireplaces?! I love you, Jen!!
xoxoxo
Inspiration indeed! I need to paint so badly! I've got to freshen these rooms up a bit!
ReplyDeleteOooohhh pretty colors you've chosen!!! That Newburg Green is awesome!!!! I'd love to add some colored paint to my neutral house but I guess it works out being able to change the colors easily by choosing different accessories and furniture instead of repainting the walls. :)
ReplyDeletepicking new paint colors is always sooooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to hear more about the house. OH! Did I tell you that my Mom maybe be moving to a new place off of Magazine? I am excited.
Benjamin Moore is the best paint around.

just found your blog through the pink and green blog hop - i'm in love! i'm your newest follower, too!
ReplyDeleteWonderful idea today! You found some lovely photos. I'm getting ready to play along today, too...it's been a long day already. LOL Trying to find something to put that darned huge television in/on before football season. =) I remember that website well...we spent hours on it before we painted&wallpapered in the house we *thought* we were going to buy.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how it all comes together!
So many great things going on in this post! Love all the colors you chose for your paint, especially that Woodlawn Blue. You're right, it IS very spa-like! Hope your Thursday is just perfect, darlin'!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors you picked! And those photos are awesome.

ReplyDeleteI like that light blue. I am thinking of painting an accent wall in my bedroom and started looking for colors over the weekend. I need to hit Benjamin Moore.
