Jason and I finished painting on July 3rd, and I admit that I'm a little behind on updating the blog. So today I've decided to take a break from packing (I'm almost finished anyway) and show you how our accent wall in the open Living Room and Kitchen turned out upstairs.
Before: A very white wall...
After: That's much better...
The color we used for our accent wall is Dutch Boy Dimensions' Shiitaki with a satin finish. What a difference a bit of color makes!
Here's a picture of the other color we used in the open Living Room and Kitchen area upstairs in our house (Dutch Boy Dimensions Bamboo with satin finish). We also used the Bamboo color downstairs in our family room, the extra bedroom downstairs, the foyer and the upstairs hallway. That's a lot of Bamboo! It's such a nice rich and creamy color that brightens the walls.
Our project for last night was to put up some curtains over our patio door.
The curtains we picked up at Bed, Bath, & Beyond were a steal on sale and the Khaki color compliments both the counter-top in our kitchen and the Bamboo color on the other surrounding walls.
It's definitely time to move in now. Everything is ready. All we need are our belongings and ourselves!
Looks fantastic! I love it! Good luck with the big move!! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Katie! I'm looking forward to blogging at the new house on Monday!
ReplyDeleteOh the paint just warms up the place already--even when it is still empty! Can hardly wait to see pictures of the move and settling in!! Hope you have good weather. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Rita! :) All that painting was so worth it. The outcome even made Jason a strong believer in painting those bright, white walls! Moving weekend is here...finally!

Always looking for these kinds of great content and information over the internet. Really very appreciating. Keep it up Thanks
ReplyDeleteWow, I think that the patio door complemented the wooden floor very well. It's a great idea to change the wall color from white to Dimensions' Shiitaki with a satin finish. The large glass windows help in giving the illusion that the room is bigger than the actual, and I don't see the new wall paint affecting that. Keeping a white wall would only give too much brightness in your house, which isn't a good thing. Too much of anything is not good, as they say. How's your stay in this house so far?
