When we first bought our new home, the only room that had to be painted immediately was B-man's room, it was teal color, kind of girly, I really like the other paint choices, the living room is sage, dinning room is a creamy color on top and a rust color on the bottom, kitchen is the same cream color, our master BR is a mocha-it's too dark for me, but has to stay for now, and EE BR is a cream color, his BR is the only room that has a semi-glossy finish, all other rooms are flat, i'm a semi-glossy girl, they just clean up better!
It will be awhile before we decide to paint anything else, although the DR is next on my list! It has a chair rail in the middle and the rust on the bottom has just got to go! I want to keep the creamy color on top and paint light grey/dark grey stripes on the bottom! I think that will look good and modernize it some, the house is only 4 years old, and we love it!
Now back to Brady's room, keep in mind he is in preschool so he is still just a wee-tot, I asked him what color he wanted us to paint his room, he didn't hesitate one minute, and blurted out ORANGE! I'm not a fan of colorful rooms, I just feel my boys would get tired of it very quickly and neither me nor my hubs are painters! ha!
So I keep asking him what color, and he was stuck on orange and I knew there would be no way I would paint the entire room orange, so we did an accent wall orange and all others white, snow white! I know your thinking snow white, in a toddler's room? Ha, I just think it looks crisp and clean, and it's semi gloss so I can wipe it down, we have extra paint if anything major happens!
Here is a picture of where you can see the teal, the white and the orange!
The picture doesn't look teal, but it was a soft teal I suppose, we just thought it was too "girly" for him! So the room is now finished 10 weeks later, that is so sad for sure, his twin bed has been in our master all of this time! Life is busy, and we just haven't made his room priority, but we did this weekend and now it's finished! It's exciting!
Now he is requested a big UT on the orange wall in white, he is a major TN fan, as is his dad! so we are going to be ordering one, I know I can do one on the cricut, but only as big as 12 inches and I'm thinking it atleast needs to be 18 inches or bigger!
At one point he said he wanted orange and red room, we just laughed and said "you wish"
I can't wait to do a home tour on here one day soon, our new LR furniture should be here by the end of the month! I had no idea it took 6+ weeks once you buy it to come in, who knew?
One thing that i'm finding I don't have is enough wall hangings, this house is double the space of the other house, and being a photographer I have a ton of pics, but not the right pics for the right walls and etc!
I'm headed to Bed, Bath, and Beyond tomorrow for 2 new pieces for the LR that I found, both are super nice, one is a clock and one is a wall hanging, might look for something to go in the LR/mud room, and possibly the downstairs bath!
I'm also going to be purchasing extra toothbrushes to go in the downstairs bathroom, sometimes the kids come downstairs before brushing their teeth and don't want to go back upstairs, it almost seems I need to stock that bathroom with an extra set of all our personals, such as deodrant, hair gel and hair spray! we shall see!
I will be sure to post a picture of his completed room tomorrow, and my finds at BB&B!
We still have a storage bldg full of our stuff, some lil boy is going to be so happy to have all of his toys back in his room! He has been so patient with us! The pool and trampoline as well as the playhouse out in the backyard have kept the boys busy!
