December 9th...Paint Colors, Ceiling Paint and More Brick

The texture is on the walls, they are primed, and now most of the ceiling is painted. I chose the color "Bagel" for the majority of the ceilings. Let me give credit where credit is due, though. My wonderful friend RaeLynn listened to what I had in mind and helped me pick out colors since I'm totally and completely colorblind. Here's some actual pictures from today. The lighting isn't great, but you can see the difference in color because of the over-spray on the walls.

Our room:Kitchen looking towards the hall that leads to Ty's room:This is the master bath. It was getting pretty dark, so you can't tell a lot with this picture. Since the pictures aren't great, I decided to post photo's of the colors we chose from Sherwin William's website. Here's "Bagel SW6114". It is the ceiling color everywhere except for the living room and entry. It will also be on the walls of the master bath, laundry, 1/2 bath, and upstairs.

Here's "Smokey Topaz SW 6117". It will be on the walls of the entry and living room. It will also be on the ceiling, but in a flat paint.This is "Fired Brick SW6335" and it will be in the kitchen and dining room."Jute Brown SW6096" will go in the master bedroom."Dover White SW6385" is the trim color. It is a creamy color that will go excellent with the warm colors in the house.I'm having trouble deciding on a color for Ty's bedroom. I'd like to paint it a grey to match the bedding I bought for him. I know...grey doesn't sound exciting by itself (there's also red and charcoal black in his bedding, so I'll have red accents here and there...), but I'd like to do a fun wall sticker with the white jeep as inspiration. There's a company that will take the photo you send them and make a wall transfer as big as you want. Here's a couple of examples of their work. Keep in mind that we will do a JEEP...not a VW or airplane. So, whatta ya think?


Here's the latest progress on the brick. They have completed two walls and are getting higher on the others. They are almost to the covered porch. The weather has not been cooperating, so they've only been able to lay brick 2 days. Too cold....raining...yucky weather.
