He was not going to win that battle no matter how much kicking and screaming he did! I didn't want to paint just because I didn't like the color, but also because I wanted to make it ours. I have been renting apartments and townhouses for four years - living in the same old boring colors. This is our first home together and I wanted to make it ours, starting with painting!
Why does picking out a paint color have to be so dog-gone difficult? I think it was one of the most stressful things to do - okay maybe not the most stressful - but it was definitely up there. I searched all over Pinterest and some of my other fav blogs for color inspiration. I bought five samples before finally picking the two perfect colors! Ta-da
The Porpoise was used in the kitchen and laundry room. I love gray and it looks so good up against the white cabinets and {as Outkast so cleverly put it} so fresh and so clean. All the other rooms {living room, dinning room and foyer} brightened up with the smokey slate, it no longer looks like we live in a dungeon. I wish I had some good before pictures, but of course all I had on me at the time was my cell phone {they didn't turn out that well}. Oh well, here are a couple before and after pictures. Again, I apologize for the bad pics!!
