![]() I love that you can go from our white living room with a large, black arch window, to right below in the family room that is (nearly) black–Greenblack with large white curtains. And even though our en suite bathroom is tile, we chose tile with the same blue gray tones and are now looking for a way to bring that tone into another area of the house–hint: I’ve got my eye on the dining room!!! Like our closet is all one tone–Lamp Room Gray, which feels more like a warm blue gray in real life, is a pocket off of our Alabaster bedroom with the same Lamp Room Gray trim. I’ve been really enjoying injecting pockets of color into smaller areas of the house. I’m sure our house palette will continue to evolve over the years, but I’ve been getting some questions about how I decide what color to go where and I generally think of where in the house feels stand-alone and how I can incorporate those tones in more ways–If not in paint, It might be in textiles or furnishings or art as well! For instance, in the home office, we used Accessible Beige on the trim (our all over trim color in the majority of the house) and wainscoting and the wallpaper has Thunderous tones–another call back to the kitchen cabinets. And I have plans to bring some of the gold into Faye’s room–she’s always been our sunshine girl! You don’t have to pick a NEW color for every room, once you have a palette down, think of how to bring in those tones in other ways. Right now, in the little girls’ bathroom, we’re repeating the Fading Twilight rust color that we have in the music room in the floors. Here are the paint colors we have used so far in our house–it looks like a lot of colors and a lot of deep colors, but it’s really 70%ish Alabaster with pockets of color. And then I try to tie it in in other areas of the house so everything speaks to each other. And when I think about what’s next to be painted, I always think about what is already painted, what color and where. I feel like I’ve been painting non-stop for a year, to be honest.
