I'm having a blast! I have the freedom to pick and choose the colors for our new house and I want colors we've never had before, so close your eyes and picture these colors: morning glory, swallows nest, river bank, August moon, herb tea, banana nut, apple muffin, mudpie, buttery bread, dry basil, crisp wheat, sprig of sage, journal cover, and Brazilian flame. Some won my heart and are in the house, others are competing for the last two rooms. Wouldn't you just love to have the job of naming paint colors, I know I would! The paint sample pictured here with writing on them are the winners, my craft room is done in sprig of sage so even in the winter I will be surrounded by green to keep me creative. The blue and brown grace our bedroom, even hubby likes it and the red/carmel featured above make a bold statement in the living and dining rooms. Choices that will make this neglected house shine and smile, just like I am! Please excuse the blurry photo, I think I'm due for a new camera, lately mine has been awful blurry and it's driving me nuts, so bear with me!
It really sounds like you are having fun Sue! Photos please, as the decorating progresses.

Hey There!
ReplyDeleteI love color and can't wait to see the finished product(s).
Just want to say HELLO! I have not been posting much recently, but I'm working on that. :-) Please stop in if you get a chance.

What fun! Painting is a daunting prospect for me. I sometimes want colors that are better for lipstick than walls.
ReplyDeleteHow's the painting coming, Friend Sue?
ReplyDeleteLaura
What fun you're having! Please share photos as you move along with the decorating of your new home. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI do always wonder who gets to name the paint colors and how they come up with some of them. Wouldn't that be a fun job? I also think some of them are pranksters, because I've tried colors with names like "Craftsman White" that turned out pale yellow, or "Soft fern" that turned out, in my son's words, "Shrek green." You know someone was snickering--"Let's see who we can fool with this one!" The names always sway me one way or the other. (I wouldn't have bought a paint called "Shrek Green," that's for sure!)
ReplyDeleteIt is so much fun moving into a new place and having a clean slate to start with, isn't it? Enjoy it! -Julia :-)
You chose some beautiful colors! I love the names of the paints, and YES, it would be such fun to name them!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

Isn't picking out colors a blast? When we started remodeling I had so many swatches taped in different rooms. The living room took me a month to elimanate until I decided upon the color I wanted...Yukon Gold. My 16 year old wanted a pink and brown room and since she already had pink curtains and quilt I went with brown on her walls called Hot Chocolate. I only have two more rooms to decide on now and have plenty of swatches taped to the walls.
ReplyDeleteSue, I am giving you a blogging award, please stop by my blog to pick it up and get all the details. Congrats!!!
ReplyDeleteYour decorating ideas are wonderful. Your colors are just right.
ReplyDeleteWhen you have time take a peek at my blog. I have an award for you, just because!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SUE
ReplyDeleteI THINK IT'S THE 23RD.

Sprig Of Sage seems to be a restful color for your room. Must be beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYes you can add me to your list of blogs. I try to stop here every day.
I never thought of that ... what a wonderful job to choose those colors names.
ReplyDeleteAll your color choices are lovely, but that red & carmel has me thinking about transforming these plain beige walls. I've always been a bit afraid of color ... don't want to mess things up though I love it when I see it in the homes of others. I think I need to jump out of the box and get some color on these walls!
Can't wait to see your photos!
Smiles,
Lea
