Project Time

IF the weather ever breaks (and at this point, that seems like a really big IF!) I am going to start on my painting and decorating! I am really excited to start throwing some paint on the walls.

First up - the Dining Room.

This has quickly become my favorite room in the house! Not just because we gather there every day to eat as a family and talk and laugh, but because... well, actually I guess that is why I love that room so much!

But it is also a great space! It's at the front of the house (the first room you see as you walk in the door) so it sorta sets the mood for the entire home. It's an important room. We spend a lot of time in there and I want to get it just right.

So, lets talk colors. I love a good fall palette! And, I'm inspired by nature - especially here on the ranch. I love the idea/feeling of bringing the outdoors in. Up to this point, the colors in the dining room are green, chocolate brown, and gold. I had 4 beautiful green panels from the CP house that I have put in this room and they are lovely!







However focused I feel, I am having trouble narrowing down my paint search to just one color. So far - I am back and forth between 3 favorites. So, I'm looking for some input on paint colors!! Here are my leading contenders:

Princeton Gold

Urban Nature

Pale Daffodil

Feel free to come up with your own suggestion. I sorta have a vision in mind already, but input is always welcomed!!

PS - I have decided that the chandelier must go. It just isn't me. Despite protests from my husband and my eldest son.... !! I have in mind something a bit more rustic looking. Like something you'd find in an old ranch house (well, one that has electricity!)

PPS - The deadline for this project is the week before Thanksgiving!
