Painting the House a Beautiful Neutral
4:30:00 AM
Our paint project is finished!
I am in love with the results!
Lighter and brighter... and yes I got rid of 1/2 the stuff on the walls and around the house.
The old color was nice but too dark.
The new color... Ballet White by Benjamin Moore is beautiful!
The neutral living room is perfect, just change the orange to red and I've got Christmas!
The kitchen is also Ballet White and the color is perfect with the Chalk Painted® kitchen cabinets see the DIY {here}.
The DIY on that rolling kitchen cart can be found {here}.
Red is the pop of color in this room... the darker red on the chairs and the tote is a good contrast without being too bright.
The interesting story of the Hands painting can be found {here}.
While the painters painted, I painted.
I painted every frame and shelf white.
I love how my collections pop against the light colors.
As a sign maker I have more than a few signs around my house... like the outhouse sign on the bathroom.
After taking everything off the walls and moving everything out of every room on the first floor, the project is done and the house looks beautiful.
I highly recommend a light, bright, neutral theme using pops of color as accents.
If you are local and need a great and reasonable painter please contact me.
