When we moved in, we loved the way the house was painted. But the prev owners didn't leave us any touchup paint for 1/2 the house (living and dining and our bedroom). That's fine for a year or so but it's 2+ and... it's getting a little scary in there.
Took a swatch to HD and tried to have them match. FAIL. Ace told me they could probably do it but they'd need at least 30 min and I haven't had the chance to stop in and drop off my swatch (which is really just a cutout piece of the actual living room wall, yeah I'm dedicated).
In the meantime, Pinterest has been giving me goosebumps with all these amazing gray walled rooms with white and colorful accents. So I wanted to go gray.
I put swatches of a few colors up. BM Stonington Gray, BM Revere Pewter, and Mythic Foggy Skies. We went with Revere Pewter at 125% and I slapped it up on the wall during our toddler's naptime. I just did one wall to see how we liked it. While it was drying, it was a little questionable, looking a little bit like cement. But after it was all dried, it was amazing. Love.
So now we gotta figure out how to paint the rest of the room, all the 125% or to make a few of the walls the 100%.. the 125% is awesome but could be a little dark if the whole room is done in it. The wall I did paint could function as an accent wall if necessary.
And here's a little compare to the original wall color, on the right. Revere Pewter is on the left. Super love. And those sweet little turquoise lamps? Home Goods.Which I learned about thanks to Young House Love, and while my wallet does NOT thank them, my little home decor loving heart surely does.
Now to finish up the wall with my photo gallery. I would love to just put my sunburst mirror up but it's a little small for the space solo. Hmmm, another reason to buy a mirror? Like I needed it.
