After looking at colors with my friend, Jenell; my mother-in-law, Kerri; PJ; and Paula and Brad (owners of the Color Center in Ashland) we finally got paint samples and anxiously tried them out on the walls. We had good luck as all of the colors looked right, except one, the accent wall in the dining room. After going through a couple more samples on that wall, we have finally decided on that color also. Above are pictures of the color samples. The bright blue room is Benjamin's room. We took a blue and deep green out of the dinosaur border that will be going around the room. We have decided to add some whispy clouds afterwards to add dimension to the large blue section of the wall. The walls are 8 1/2 feet tall...so that's a lot of blue, it will be nice to break it up a little.
The accent wall in the dining room will be a pomegranate, a deep dark red, which will not only put a break in the very large open sepia tan of the living room and dining room, but accentuate the border that will be visible from the kitchen area. The kitchen is a lighter tone than the sepia tan, a palace white, which goes well with the border that has navy blue, off white and burgundy colors. The pantry and the laundry room will also be palace white. The entry way from the garage is a sepia tan, which continues into the living room and dining room and the small section of hallway to our bathroom and bedroom.
Our bedroom is a bit brighter, using tuscan red and vellum (a yellow goldish tone). We have a few photo frames that are black from our wedding and a very nice black and white photo with black frame of Benjamin that will accent this room nicely.
Our bathroom colors came out of our choice of shower curtain. A very nice mellow light tan tone and a grey/blue tone to accent. The colors match perfectly to the curtain!
Overall the colors have a very earthy, warm feel, which is what we want are home to feel like. Warmth and welcome!
