Paint.....

Well...I have no real news on the house.  I honestly don't know what's going on...I think we are waiting on the City of Brentwood, but I'm not totally sure.  I'm trying not to spaz about it...even though that is so UNLIKE me....it won't make things go any faster.  Today I went and got some interior paint colors and some sample boards and started painting.  I'm basically going with the same type of colors I always choose....so here's a picture of the sample boards I painted today:

Potential paint colors
Two blues to choose from...that have a hint of green in them...I think I like the first one better.  The third one from the left is the ceiling color I am thinking of using....the brownish/gray is one that I would use in the master bedroom (along with the blue) and maybe in the entry and mudroom and laundry.  The chocolate is what I am thinking of using for the kitchen, media room, maybe one of the guest rooms, etc etc.  I need to find a green...I like greens too....just seems like most everything I own (furniture and accessories) leans towards the blue tones:)  If anyone has a green that they are in love with...let me know....I might want to "steal" it!

And more on paint....here's another exterior that I LOVE....I've passed this house a million times, but I finally decided to pull in the driveway and snap a couple pictures.  I'm sure the people that live there think their house is being scoped out for a robbery, but really...I'm just loving their paint colors!  I also love the pumpkins on their front porch.....I miss having a house this year to put pumpkins in front of!  I bought a tiny white one to fill the pumpkin void in my life!


So pretty...dark stained shutters and front doors,
cream trim and "weathered wood" roof....I LOVE it!

I hope you all have a great week and I hope I have some house news to report soon....geez!

Hey we used Silver Sage in our living room, hallway and dining room ceiling and Sea Green in our bedroom in Nashville. Both by Restoration Hardware but it was mixed by Sherwin Williams. Loved both colors. I also love the exterior of that house you got pics of!
