Bold Color-- Even John Likes It

John got the keys to our new home on Friday. We began painting and construction on Saturday. The painting is already done and John is camping out at our new home now. No more hotels, but I can tell he is lonely--- he calls me only six or seven times in the evening. :) I asked him to take some pictures for me-- "Pretty please," I begged. Frustrated that he could not get them sent to me, he went to bed sniffling.

No he wasn't crying.-- lol. John thinks he has a cold.

To my surprise and his, I found these pictures in my email. He praised the color choices but warned that since it was dark and the camera was the one on his phone, the colors would look different to me. Still, I am excited that I actually went bold and allowed color to be splashed on the walls! Thanks to all who helped choose paint colors!

Here is our laundry room painted in "Cricket".

Our kitchen is painted mostly Pale Wheat with one wall Macchiato. The colors match the granite counter tops.

Here is the "French Lilac." I was most hesitant to go with this color so I chose only one accent wall and the girl's bathroom.

The wall on the right is actually the office painted in "Macchiato"-- next to the "French Lilac" I can't believe how much it looks like a deep burgundy instead of brown.

I chose the same color for the 1/2 bathroom downstairs as the laundry room.

The contractor is still converting the playroom into the 6th bedroom, and we are exploring the loft option before we move in. The loft with a few of our changes would add an additional 400+ square feet including another bedroom and living space. If we decide to go ahead and do the loft, we will not move in until it is finished. If we have a choice we will not live in a construction zone again. Been there, done that, not practical, not fun. So the question is, are we moving this weekend or in a month?
