We really didn't like the goldish yellow color they had going on, and the ceiling, doors, and trim were a creamish/yellow too - which definitely had to go. When I first looked at paint swatches, I immediately liked one specific shade of grey. I didn't tell Caleb which was my favorite, but held up a bunch of them for him to pick one - he picked the same one I liked! Following the advice of this post, we painted a sample on the wall and I still loved it. We used a shade darker in the bathroom - I am SO happy with how both rooms turned out! I love the clean, fresh look of it - it's exactly how I imagined it! Thank you so much Caleb for doing most of the work! :)

ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!!! That old color is slightly terrifying to be honest. And it reminds me of my parents' basement before they refinished and painted it white lol. Hope you're enjoying home-ownership and have a great weekend!
