Paint

We keep making progress on the house.  The windows are in, the large giant gaping hole in the back of the house is closed in as well (although there is still an unresolved issue with the big bad door man), the drywall and texturing is also complete.  Tonight we went to Home Depot and spent lots of money on paint. Who'd figure paint cost so much.

Here is what I am going with


Kitchen, all three baths, laundry, hall, bedrooms, ceilings in-between beams
Toasted Cashew –
  






Entry, family room, dining room, living room (minus red wall)
Toasted Wheat






  
Beams, ceilings in house, except in rooms where there are beams
Swiss coffee –






 And for the Living room accent wall I couldn't find a sample on the Behr website but its close to this.
Library Red






I went through many different samples on the wall before settling.  I was always conscious of choosing a color that wouldn't close in the room.  With a low ceiling and low light in some of the rooms, I wanted a color not too dark.

This is the wall in the family room and the kitchen is on right towards the back of the picture.  The color I went with is first color on the left on the wall and the middle color on the ceiling. The beams will be painted an off white.


In the bedrooms will be toasted cashew


And finally, the living room with the library red accent wall and  toast wheat
