(Above: After images)
When I first bought my house, almost 10 years ago, I splurged and bought 5 gallons of Behr's Ripe Wheat.
Now, I know what you're thinking; FIVE GALLONS?!
Yes, it was the first time I EVER painted. EVER.
Little did I know a whole gallon would have plenty done the trick.
But for 8 years, I've literally been in a love/hate relationship with the Ripe Wheat walls. Sure, they were beautiful, primarily in Christmas when I had a rustic Christmas theme going, however, they just were NOT me.
So a few months ago, I took myself to Lowe's and purchased a new color, it's beautiful!
I can best describe it as a silvery sage color but VERY neutral. It's just..
I LOVE IT.
So here are the befores (gag):
(Below: Clearly, MUCH older pictures of my home,
my hardwoods actually looked decent).
(Below: Picture was I'd say 4 years old judging from Ethan's infant bouncer,
I've since painted the entertainment center white).
And, now for the during/afters :)) These are mostly cell images (sorry, I'll get it together one day)
AND the big after: I think I am going for a coastal cottage theme.
I purchased the Beach Sign at a local craft store, my hallway has my book page wreat I made and the lower picture shows the transition between colors. The curtians are NOT mine, but it's what I want in there. Currently I just have white sailcloth drapes. I will keep hints of vintage reds and minimal oranges alogn with coastal colors. I'll be sure to post more once I have it complete.
