reno and demo: stage 6

I am so excited to announce that...THE UPSTAIRS OF OUR NEW HOUSE IS COMPLETELY FINISHED!! All the trim has been painted white, all the windows have been painted white, the ceilings got a fresh coat of paint, and all of the walls are painted! We are a little more than a month from moving day, which means painting downstairs will be the biggest priority for the next few weeks. I will leave you with some photos so you can see our final paint decisions upstairs. Disclaimer: the photos do not do the paint color justice. It is way prettier in person. 

I wanted something light and airy in the master bedroom since it gets quite a bit of sun from all the windows. I also had to keep it semi gender-neutral since I am sharing it with the other half-no pink walls or me. We decided to paint the walls in a color called Blanket by Valspar. 

I wanted a similar feeling in the guest room as the master bedroom. Something light and bright to catch all the sunlight that comes in through the window. For this room we chose the color Sea Salt Blue by Valspar, although in the picture it looks totally gray. 

For the third bedroom-which will most likely be turned into an office- we decided on something that would really contrast the white chair rail in the room. We wanted to go dark blue without making it feel really small so we settled on Mountain Lake by Valspar.

For the final color upstairs we decided on something neutral since it would be in the hallway and continue down the stairs into our living room and foyer. It's really hard to see the difference in color in this picture, but if you look closely at the lop left side of the photo you can see where the new color meets the old color. The old color wasn't that bad, we just wanted something with more gray tones instead of tan/yellow tones. For this lovely neutral color we chose Woodrow Wilson Putty by Valspar. 

I promise this post is not sponsored in anyway by Valspar but as you can see we quite like that brand and the paint goes on smoothly without clumping in the roller or pan. 

Stay tuned for more updates because the counter tops are getting installed TOMORROW! This will be a joyous week in our household!
