finally!! we picked paint colors!

the painter is coming on Tuesday to start. i can't wait to see how it comes out!

kitchen: Harbor Haze

External Image

dining room: Nantucket Fog

External Image

living room: Yarmouth Blue (it looks a bit more green in person)

External Image

den: Nantucket Gray

External Image

hallways: Abingdon Putty

External Image

baby's room: Lemon Meringue (bright yellow)

DS's room: Honolulu Blue

External Image

master bedroom - still haven't decided. we need to pick a nice blue, and a pale blue shade for the master 1/2 bath! i welcome any suggestions Chat Icon

ETA: DH agreed that Lemon Meringue would be too bright for what we want, so we decided on Squish-Squash for the baby's room Chat Icon it's a soft yellow with just a touch of orange.

and i am also pretty sure we're going with Adagio for the master bedroom!

Great choices!!

Sorry...no suggestions for the master. I don't think anyone should be taking paint suggestions from me though. My upstairs bathroom came out looking like something out of Sesame Street...not the look I was going for Chat Icon

Beautiful color choices - we have many similar in our home.

I just want to warn you - we first did the baby's nursery in Lemon Meringue and it was VERY lemony. Much more so than on the color palette. We ended up repainting with a similar BM color which was one shade lighter and a little more buttery. I can't remember the name (sorry!)

Good luck!

Hi Lori-I have wellwood gray I think it is in my den and it comes out looking light blue--there are pictures in my album. My Master is a blue too and I think it is called blue smoke or something with smoke. Both are Benjamin Moore.

Re: finally!! we picked paint colors!

I have Yarmouth Blue in my bathroom - it is a beautiful color. I would have done my bedroom in the same color but my boys' room is right next door and blue (diff color) so it would be too much blue in one area.

Nice colors - I like them all

Great color choices!

I did my playroom lemon Meringue and it is very bright in person but works great for our room. It was not as soothing as the swatch looks.
