Oh no, you didn't!!!!!

We painted. That's right, I said it out loud. We decided to tackle the kitchen/living room/hallway. The master bedroom/bathroom, guest bathroom, and laundry room were already painted and we decided that the kitchen/living room/hallway was goign to be our next area to conquer.

Our house was painted a pretty beige color, but it was very beige. We also wanted to make some changes to our house to make it OUR house. I picked all the other colors in the house. Luckily, Micah likes them, but we really wanted to pick this color together. We looked at lots of different places, but ended up with colors from Sherwin Williams that we really liked. We taped them up to the wall in the living room and then tried to narrow the choices down. We ended up with two shades of brown and a gray color with hints of blue. We got some pints of the colors and I proceeded to paint random parts of the house with the colors. I really thought we were going to pick one of the shades of brown, like didn't even think we needed to consider 'steely gray' because we (me) were not going to like it. HOWEVER, Micah really liked it and thought we should try it. I'm am SO happy that I married him because he was RIGHT!!!!!!!

Steely gray is the best color and it looks amazing in our house. We decided to do the entire area the same color because the living room and kitchen are open to each other. We included the little hallway because it can be seen from the living room.

The only thing left to paint are the two guest bedrooms. Right now we are waiting to paint them until we have a need, i.e. guest room, maybe a baby room. Who knows.
