Our Interior Paint Colors

We are officially moved into the house guys!!! Life has felt like a whirlwind the last couple of weeks!! We are trying to get back into normal routine and settle down a bit! (is this really possible with 3 kiddos, 2 jobs, and living in a fixer upper??) 

 I have so many things I want to catch you guys up on, but today is all about the paint colors we chose for the interior!!


So unless you have been living under a rock, then you all know Chip and Joanna Gaines. Aside from their great show on HGTV, they also have a full line of products including home decor, clothing, accessories...Well recently they partnered with Kilz and launched a paint line!! I've been anxious to try the colors and now was my perfect chance!!

One awesome thing they offer are these peel and stick samples! Since its so hard to pick a color from a computer screen, you can order these samples that are about  9x11" in size and they stick to your wall.  You can really get a better effect of how the color will look with the bigger size. Just stick it to your wall and check it throughout different times of the day with the changing light. I ordered quite a few of these and then narrowed down to my top picks. ( This is less expensive than buying lots of the small sample jars of paint.) Magnolia had soooo many beautiful colors to choose from! I don't think you can go wrong!

We also used some of our favorites, along with a few "new to us" colors from Sherwin Williams. We really wanted to keep things neutral and fresh,  using colors that would flow well and feel cohesive. I couldn't be happier with how it all turned out!!! Every color is exactly what I hoped for!!

 (side note- Miss Pearl was VERY insistent that she have a pink bedroom! We all know that worked out in her favor 🤣 )

 I am working daily around here to get this place unpacked and "styled" so that it feels like home. We have made great progress over these past two weeks! I will be back soon to start showing room reveals! But for now, here's all the colors we went with!














Of course these colors tend to look a bit different in real life and real lighting. The Weathered Windmill and American Egg definitely have more green undertones, but they are some of my most favorite colors! Gatherings is just the perfect neutral! Its light and fresh with slightly warm undertones! And Pearl is very happy with her shade of pink 😉

Hoping very soon to be picking exterior colors! And we got a fabulous new front door that I can't wait to show you guys!

If you guys have any questions or anything specific you want to see a post about, feel free to email me or leave a comment in the section below! I always want to keep our topics interesting to the readers! You guys are awesome and I'm excited to continue sharing this adventure with you!

Living Room Update (and a little spring decor)

This living room space wasn't the easiest layout to design. Its open, but not very large. It really only has one solid wall. There are so many openings, doors, stairs...  I knew going into designing this space, I was really going to have to think through the layout. And its far from done! I like to play, and move things around often, so its likely to not stay this way for too very long. We still have plans to change the stair railing, add some type of architectural pieces going up the stair wall, and I'm on the hunt for the perfect rug for the space! But as promised, I'm hear to show you our progress, not just our completion! Everything has been freshly painted in Sherwin Williams Useful Grey. And the trim is done in Extra White. Let's look back at what we started with! And this is where we are now. Before  And after. What a difference some paint and accessories can make! Its all slowly coming together!  In add...

"Before" House Tour (part 1)

Hey guys! Thanks for all the sweet comments about us buying the new house! Your enthusiasm was appreciated! If you don't know how this flipper house came to be, you can click  here  to read the full story!  We were able to get some work done over the weekend and its fun to start seeing things happening! We got all the old kitchen countertops removed and ripped off all the old backsplash. Who knew that could be so therapeutic, but swinging that hammer really relieved some stress! Our painter started as well and I cant wait to get over there and see his progress! Paint can make all the difference in the world! Ok, so before I get too far ahead, I did want to show you guys the inside pictures!  I snapped quite a few and don't want to overload you all, so decided to break this up into two posts. Today I'll show you the main level and a few more of the outside! Let's get started! We definitely plan to have the outside painted, its a pretty house ...

"Before" House Tour (part 2)

Here we go guys, I'm back for part 2 of our "before" house tour! There were just too many pics to cram all into one post, so today we are covering the basement and the upstairs. If you missed part 1 of our tour, you can click  here . I won't bore you with a bunch of rambling, let's just get on with the tour! So right off the kitchen are the stairs leading down to the basement I didn't snap a picture with the stairs in it, but they are on that left wall there, right across from the playroom door. Here is what is going to be our school room/playroom. I'm super excited about finally having a designated room for our homeschooling! I am envisioning a fun color, and some built in desks for the kiddos. And then some great storage for the bazzilion toys my children own! There will also be new flooring in this room! That open door there leads to this full bathroom. This space is starting off with fresh paint, and then eventually a new va...
