I decided to join the Paint Party over at 320 Sycamore so here are a couple of rooms in my house that I have painted and love the colors.This is my Living Room, it originally looked like this. I just recently painted it, the central hall, staircase, and upstairs hall in this color. I am so in love with it. It is the perfect beige gray color. Glidden : Toasty GreyAnother view from the Living room to the central hall into the downstairs bath. Glidden : Toasty GreyThis cabinet is in my Dining Room, I found it on the side of the road and restored and painted it. The white is a just the white enamel left over from my trim, and the green is Glidden : Napa Valley . The Dining Room was this color when we moved in so I can’t take credit, but I do love it. Benjamin Moore : Mayflower Red The Downstairs bath is another room I painted. I like to go bold with either paint or fabrics in a bath so this one I went for the paint. Glidden : A.S.A.P (only took two coats)
As a designer I do really like to use the Aura Paint by Benjamin Moore, as it is a very easy paint, thick and covers well. But as a home owner/designer who likes to paint quite often, Glidden has become a great in-expensive stand by for me. I would highly recommend it, available at Home Depot.
Thanks so much 320 Sycamore for hosting the Paint Party.
Love the grey you chose!! I 'm totally loving grey right now. The main living areas , our master bedroom, and 1/2 bath are all shades of grey! And I LOVEEE what you did to that cabinet. That bright green is popping up everywhere this spring. :)
I love the color in the bathroom! The inside of the cabinet is wonderful!!
Love your rooms! Your blog is fabulous.
Blessings,

Thanks for the tip about Glidden~I used it for my family room and had no complaints at all. Can I tell you how much I love your toasty gray with the light, airy curtains? Just beautiful! Thanks for joining the party!
Lovely colors – your house looks great! Glad to have found your blog over at the Flickr Quilt Along group! Cheers.
I've never used Glidden paints – now after your post and photos I'm going to look closely at their palettes.
