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!!

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.

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

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.

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.
