So, I’ve been in the new house for a little over a month now, and this is what I’m looking at still every day. A giant pile of paint-chips, and miscellaneous picture-hanging hardware strewn about the counter.
Thank goodness for paint samples. I’ve gone through several rounds. I started out looking at blues and beige-y tans, but I was starting to worry that I would somehow manage to find every color that I hate, and never work my way down to the right ones. My walls were starting to look patch-work. Along the way, I realized I don’t really love beigey-tan colors. One peek into my closet confirmed that.
That’s when I had my ah-a moment. Gray! That’s the other color I was looking for. For some reason, I dig gray. Which maybe seems weird for a person who professes to loves color. I think gray is cool, and it works with lots of colors. My closet tells me I migrate towards gray, black, white, blue/turquoise, orange/corals, and purple. The closet don’t lie.
Having finally settled on some colors, I’ve started painting. Nothing is finished yet, but here’s a peek at my inspiration boards (I love these things!)

That’s all you get for now! More to come!
