I'm 99% sure this is it!

The color scheme for our paint on the first floor!


(huge thank you to Mollie for putting this "color strip" together for me!)

Going from left to right:
Providence Olive (guest room that is to immediate left when entering home)
Clay Beige (hall, entry, going up the stairs)
Rockport Gray (one wall in kitchen and playroom- which is across the hall from kitchen)
Slate (living room) Actually, the slate is a Restoration Hardware color and I had it color matched with Benjamin Moore paint. The color number is 1476 if anyone cares, but I don't know the name!

pints of paint

Kate, as the only commenter on this blog thus far, not only do you get a vote, I'll take your advice! I 100% agreed with you once we took the swatch over to the house and looked at in the natural light there. It was definitely too pinky. So, this is the next sample to try out.

Clay Beige by Benjamin Moore



I also picked up some samples and pints of the following to test out in other areas.

Living Room- Restoration Hardware Slate


Our bedroom- Benjamin Moore Gray Cashmere:


Guest Bedroom- Restoration Hardware Gravel:


I have no exact use for this one right now, but I liked it and I was a roll, so I bought a small sample of it too!
Restoration Hardware: Graphite



Juliet's bedroom- Benjamin Moore Wispy Pink:




Any comments/advice always welcome!!

They actually went in last week, but I forgot to update here.



And these are two of the paint colors we're choosing between for our entry, hallway, main living room downstairs...

Progress!

It's crazy how fast the framing goes up! I was at the house on Tuesday evening and none of this was there. This video was taken this morning! (Friday)



I'm working on a little project of my own...painting Aidric's room! I had a hard time choosing paint colors.. I've gone through 3 different blues and have finally settled on one. The walls will be this color, with this red as the accent.




Here's my progress..the long wall is the color I am putting up- the smaller wall with the dark blue was the runner-up =)
