I have a love hate relationship with color. I love it but when it comes to my personal style and my home I default to neutrals. Always.
I guess because it’s safe. So after much debate with my husband and inside of my head, I finally settled on paint colors for our fixer upper home.
The Kitchen
I am definitely stepping out of my comfort zone with a green kitchen. I have only had a white kitchen for the past 7 years and I wanted to change things up. I love antiques and old world style. The blue green I chose will be a change to the white washed modern kitchens of today. I am going with a cream white wall to make the color pop. My color inspo was from here on Pinterest
I chose Farrow & Ball Smoke Green for my kitchen cabinets and the walls will be One Horn White by Magnolia Colors home line.
Interior Walls Minus Bathrooms
All the walls in all other rooms will be Greyhound by PPG Interior Paint .
Greyhound is a soft neutral but not the typical gray maybe more griege. I really like soothing walls.
The trim and doors will the True White by Magnolia Colors . I am so excited to see everything in the house get a fresh coat of paint. It will look like a totally different place the next time we walk through it.
My floors are hardwood except for 2 rooms. The choices of stain are as numerous as paint so choosing the color has been a tough choice as well. I think we will go with a dark shade but I will update floors later.
Looking forward to change
There is so much change happening in the house but good change. We have removed all the popcorn ceilings and even an old communicator board system through the home. Lots of dry wall patching and new floors coming. A new life is being breathed into this old fixer upper and I know it will be home soon.
Removed 8 speakers from an old communication system in the house today. Out with the old and in with cell phones. LOL
These things must of been all the rage back in the 70’s? Did you have them?
