Here we go!

2nd Bath: Muscari Blue, Martha Stewart


2nd Bedroom: Bicycle Yellow, Behr


This is going to be Hawaii themed and I have 3 vintage prints from a calendar to frame and hang up in there:


Dining Room: Sweatshirt Gray, Ralph Lauren


The wall through the banisters is the main color that's in most of the house, Polaris, also by RL.

Living Room (and hallways): Polaris, Ralph Lauren

The wall on the left with the sliding doors is the Sweatshirt Gray to help break it up a bit.


The wall at the top of the stairs is the Sweatshirt Gray, again. I like accent walls.

Entry: Heavenly Blue, Valspar




And, my favorite room...
Kitchen: Harbour, Ralph Lauren




I have wanted a navy blue kitchen for YEARS and I so love how this turned out. It was a pain in the ass and we should have gotten a tinted primer, but I didn't even think about that. But it looks gorgeous so I am very happy in the end.

We still have our bedroom/bathroom and the half-bath off the kitchen to do. Not sure when. Probably one weekend a bit from now. We're very tired. Did all this in 4 days. DH mostly. I still had to work but managed to come home after lunch most days. Still, A LOT of work done in a very short time. But, no more white walls!!

LOVE the blue kitchen. Normally I'm not big on yellow but that's a very subtle shade, and it looks lovely. :)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The yellow is really not subtle at all, actually. LOL It's definitely YELLOW. The half bath off the kitchen is going to be much paler shade of yellow.

[eviljr.livejournal.com]

lol What I meant was it doesn't look very bright like some yellow's can be...it might be brighter in person though.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Haha. Yeah, it's definitely much brighter in person. And during the day. That was taken at night with just the little lamp and the flash for lighting.

I love it, I really like the picture of the first sweatshirt grey, It looks like it could be a b&w photo with a few color accents. And your kitchen is awesome, it's really close to the color I did my bedroom, plus your kitchen is great anyway, lucky with a good size kitchen. I'm jealous :)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I do love my kitchen.

The gray is so pretty in person. It just all looks so good together! :-)

I really like the gray and the navy blue. The kitchen turned out awesome.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

Babe your house is gorgoeus!! I love the colours and i must admit that my fav is the colour for the kitchen. Beautiful!!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks hon! :-D

Well, hell, you are as much of an artist as Justin. Beautiful work!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

It's mostly my husband's work. But I'll pass it along... :-D

You know, I'm not a big one on painting rooms dark colours, because it tends to close them in, but that navy in your kitchen ROCKS. Especially with the dark wood and the white frames. I am jealous of your island. My kitchen is so small that two people can't work together in it.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! I think I managed to find the right navy that wasn't too dark and just kind of makes it cozy.

[littleheaven70.livejournal.com]

Cozy is exactly the right word. You have those enormous windows so light isn't a problem.

I'm on a redecorating bender right now - in that I can't stop thinking about it. We have carpet samples all over the place but no money. *sigh* And the walls need re-painting badly, they haven't been done since 1996. Argh.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

I've been living with white walls for about 7 years since moving out of my parent's place and the various apartments. I'm so happy to have color back.

[kiwigater.livejournal.com]

I love that you've included the paint colour names!
It all looks fantastic, the blue of the bathroom is lovely, and the kitchen is amazing. I would be far too wimpy to use such a dark colour, but you've been rewarded for your courage!

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I figured why not just go for it with the kitchen. I've been obsessing over it for YEARS, so let's just do it! :-)

[jessm78.livejournal.com]

Ooh, very pretty! I especially like the navy blue kitchen and the heavenly blue in the entryway. :)

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much! :-)

[aizjanika.livejournal.com]

Oh, I love that dramatic look in your kitchen a lot. That is *exactly* the color I wanted in my family room which did not turn out at all the way I wanted. I wonder if I could convince my husband to repaint anytime soon? *g*

I also love the different grays. I love gray.

I love accent walls, too.

Your kitchen is so beautiful. Also, you have the refrigerator that I want. :-)

Very, very nice all around. Thanks for the pictures.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Thanks! It can't hurt to ask about repainting... LOL

I love my fridge. It's seriously awesome.

[aizjanika.livejournal.com]

Yeah, we're planning to make a few changes to our kitchen sometime soon, including a new fridge, but I think I want to get a laptop first. :-)

Gorgeous colour choices!

I would love to go through this house and attack it with some colour. Every room is either white paint or old muted wallpaper.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Sounds like it's time for a make over! :-)
