The first thing I decided to do in my new home is paint. This will help freshen it up and make it my own. So I went to Lowe's to pick out paint colors for two of the bedrooms. This was probably one of the most overwhelming experiences! Have you ever seen all the various shades and brands they offer? It's insane. I thought I had somewhat of a clue as to the shade of colors I wanted but now there is just too many choices. Before I knew it, I had probably 30 swatches and decided to take them home to think about.

I decided to go with a yellow, gold in my room and a soft green in the guest bedroom. This time I went to Home Depot to make my paint selection and I walked in with confidence. I was determind to not let all the choices deter me from my decision. I made it to the paint aisle, took a deep breath and dove straight in, searching for my perfect colors. It took me a matter of minutes to find the shade I wanted for both rooms. I handed the swatches to the employee and she mixed them up for me. Before I knew it, I was out the door with two paint buckets, brushes, tape, paint rollers, and a drop cloth.
My colors are on the walls and I love it! If I could offer any advice to someone searching for the right color, it would be to take your time. The experience can be overwhelming, but I promise you will find exactly what you want if you are patient. Check out the swatches and see which ones I decided on.

I admire someone who can make so many decisions. It would take me months to even pick the paint colors but these are lovely. I'm sure just painting made a huge change in your new home.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about paint being a pain. When I go my first home all of the walls were horrible colors. The living room and kitchen areas were peach. The master bedroom was lavendar, and one of the front bedrooms was a shocking blue color with a bright yellow trim. I could not stand these colors and wasted no time at all in getting my house re-painted. new that my house has more earth-tone colors I love it!!!
