Beginnings of a house
After 20 paint samples, we finally were able to choose the 6 colors we will use in our home. It is impossible to post them here from the websites b/c they don’t look anything like they are supposed to. So, I will have to just desribe them and post pics of them on my wall once they are there. Right now, our house looks like some sort of Jackson Pollock painting with different colored squares all over.
Master bedroom: Upward (sherwin williams) – it’s a light blue gray
Master Bath: Celery (sherwin williams) – pale green, I’m going for a spa-like feel here
Guest Bedroom: Bagel (sherwin williams) – sand color, this room with be a beachy theme we’re getting a white wood daybed with trundle
Alexis Bedroom: Milkyway galaxy (Behr) – soft yellow background on which my parents will be creating a garden room mural with colorful flowers
Playroom: Honeydew (sherwin williams) – light green
Rest of the house: Bone white (Glidden) – warm neutral beige-y color
So far, we have purchased a few things. First appliances. The house has perfectly good appliances right now, but they’re black, and we (ok, I) really want stainless steel, so we were able to get a great deal from BrandsMart on all new GE Profile stainless appliances. I’m going to try and sell the existing ones on Craigslist, except the fridge which we’ll move into the garage and keep as a second fridge.
Cooktop
Dishwasher
Microwave with vent goes over the cooktop
Double oven - top is convection
We also got the LG Steam washer and dryer – in red :
The only piece of furniture we have actually bought so far is a sectional for the family room from Rooms to Go.
We also bought 2 TVs – no pics of those, but they’re the Samsung LEDs, the ads for them have the hummingbird. They’re super thin. The one for the family room is 55″ and the one for our bedroom is 46″.
Stay tuned for more updates…
