The Monday Blues For Paint Palette

February 24, 2014 By Meegan 8 Comments

I’ve got the Monday Blues for Paint Palette colors.  And I am happy to share them with you today.  It’s always enjoyable to browse through paint stores and aisles at the various colors of paint.  It’s probably one of my fave things to do, besides holding the grandbabies or to hold Hubby’s hand.

I think there are probably guidelines and interior design rules of how many colors you should/could have in your home.  And, if you know me at all, you KNOW I don’t like perfect things.  I like rustic, worn, and chippy, so I guess I don’t follow the interior design rules.  And I am JUST fine with that.

Why?  Well, because I am comfortable in my home, and if more than 3 colors make me smile, then that’s what I am going to use.  To me it’s all about being comfortable in your home.  Don’t you think so, too?

I share my makeovers and ideas with you all the time.  I thought it would be fun to show you the color palette for our home along with various pieces of furniture and accessories.

1. Ocean Mist is from Clark and Kensington is the color of one wall in our living room.

2. Summer Sonnet  from Ace Hardware is painted on our bedroom wall and on my thrifted coffee table.

3. Antique Coral is one of the colors on our dining room set and my “bathroom” door.

4. Hint of Olive is from Clark and Kensington at Ace Hardware is on a wall in our TV Room/Office.

5. Snow Cap White is used it to is painted in every room in our home.

6. Shark Loop from Valspar in used on the dining room set and our thrifted buffet.

7. Teal Lake from BHG has been used a few times on makeovers such as my Floating Frame Gallery and my Beach Bench.

8. Another color I use quite often is: Turquoise Mist by Olympic Paint  I have painted several pieces of furniture and accessories using this color.

Often times I mix any one of these colors with white to bring a whole new level of color into our home.  It adds dimension and depth that way.

Turquoise Mist has a special place in my heart.  It is the first can of paint I bought to start transforming our home into a lighter, brighter place to live.  We when moved in our condo, here, everything we owned was dark green, bright red, gold, and even touches of purple.   It was awesome at the time we purchased it, but it was time for me to move on.

These are the colors that make me smile.  They calm my spirit.  They work perfectly in our home.

What colors are your favorite?  What color calms YOUR soul??

Make it a blue Monday!

Hello, Hello my friends! I promised I would be posting my DIY Embellished Frames yesterday and I got knocked into bed with the stomach flu.  Boo to the flu! I am still in my comfy pajamas and my bed head (I look REALLY pretty today), but I am excited to share a fun, easy and a great gift for Valentines day.

If you have ever been into Hobby Lobby (well, who hasn’t, right?), you will be amazed at their vast sea of gorgeous and unique frames.  One of a kind, really.  Well, I thought I would make my own Hobby Lobby frame.
