I’m back again with another session of virtual house decorating. Really, HGTV should have a show on how to use the Internet to decorate your house. Today, we’re looking at Behr paint colors. I needed some parts to fix my toilet, so I stopped by the paint chip section at Home Depot while I was there. I grabbed a few that caught my eye and tried to show them to Mac over Skype to get his thoughts. It’s harder than it looks. His opinion, as always, was “I’m fine with what you pick.” I jokingly told him that he would have a purple house if he wasn’t careful.
In our house (eek, I love typing that), several rooms will definitely need to be repainted. The master bedroom is brown. While I don’t mind brown walls, our furniture is brown. One of the upstairs bedrooms is hot pink with a green and white chair rail. It was Strawberry Shortcake themed. The kitchen is an apple green which I think we can make do with for now. Here are the colors I’ve picked out. All of these are Behr paint colors (this is not a sponsored post. Home Depot had the largest selection of Behr, and no one was standing in front of it).
Our paint colors
Bathrooms – Rocky Mountain Sky. This light grey-blue is perfect for our beach themed guest bath. It’ll also brighten up the downstairs powder room that is currently brown and windowless.
Master bedroom – Polaris Sky. I think this will complement our brown bedroom set well.
Family room – Tuscany Hillside. I saw a picture on Pinterest of a mossy green room in a cabin. I loved how it looked with dark leather furniture like ours.
Upstairs bedrooms – Frosted Lemon. The front two rooms face east, and I think this light yellow will keep them bright all day.
Check out our Colorado house tour to see how the colors turned out!
What colors do you like?
I love your color palette! My mom is a big fan of deep, darker reds (but not quite maroon) and yellows/golds, and some touches of green similar to the one you have picked out. I can’t wait to have my own house to decorate one day.
I LOVE the Tuscany Hillside color. I want to have a house with dark greens and various shades of browns for some reason… but as long as we rent, it won’t be happening.
I love the whole color palette, it’s awesome. Yes, thank you now I have that song stuck in my head haha.
Great colors. I discovered Revere Pewter a few years ago and said “I will paint my whole house this color when I have a house” Well we bought a house this year and I painted basically every room in my house that color. With Sea Salt and Quietude accents. And the girls have pink (impatiens petal) and purple (potentially purple) for their rooms.
I love love the tuscany hillside green you picked. so pretty. and frosted lemon will look gorgeous. and so bright and airy.
I love the colors that you chose! A really great combination! In all of my years of painting, I’ve finally learned to go with the lightest version of what I like. For some reason it’s always seems so much darker on the walls.
I love all of them, but mostly the rocky mountain and lemon. Also who gets the job of naming paint colors?
