Favorite Paint Colors


I’m joining Melissa over at 320 Sycamore for a paint party today, so I’ll show you a few paint colors I have in my home...the ones I can identify at least. I now only use Sherwin Williams paint, but before I discovered Sherwin Williams I used paint mainly from Lowes or had it custom mixed at Lowes so I don't have names for those paint colors.

If you are looking for a great fresh lime green....how about Sherwin Williams Sassy Green? That is the color Callie chose for her bedroom. I think it looks great! Not too bright, just right!





Now my 20 yr old daughter, Aubrie wanted a serene grey on her walls, so she chose Sherwin Williams Gray Screen. Her room is very calming...just what she wanted.




When I tore down my wallpaper in my kitchen I thought, hmmm...what color should I paint the walls. Well the best way to get a good flow from room to room is to use colors from the attached rooms. So my living room/dining room is attached to my kitchen so I pulled in the sage green from my sofa and chose Sherwin Williams Clary Sage.

Darlene,
I am a Sherwin Williams fan also. I especially like the Sassy Green and the black furniture looks sharp against it. I am getting ready to paint my guest bath Svelte Sage, but Clary Sage was a close second. You have a lovely home. ~Cathy~

Oh how I love lime green and black together. Funny, those are the colors on Melissa's party badge. : )
The other colors in your home are lovely too.

LOve the green - and zebra, my youngest two are putting a similar color on their walls and my oldest two are using zebra bedding for half their stuff. Your daughter's room looks very fun!

I love the sheets in your 20 yr old daughters room - do you know who makes them or where you got them? LOVE THEM!!!!

Hi Team O,
I bought the sheets from Overstock.com. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Havanah-Floral-Print-300-Thread-Count-Sheet-Set/3231672/product.html?sec_iid=33969

They are very nice sheets even thought the price is so inexpensive! I even bought a pair for myself!

Lauren said...

i was going to ask you the same thing about your daughters sheets but i was interested in where you got ALL of the bedding lol
