Color!

It's amazing how much color adds to the house and makes it start feeling like a real home. The color we picked for the whole house is Whole Wheat. It's a nice color and we saw a few of Jamie's houses that she decorated where she used the color throughout the house and we really liked it. I was also surprised at how green it can look in certain light. But, paint colors are amazing at how they change based on the light. The stairway looks like it's a completely different color, but it is getting reflection off of Amber's pink room, so it changes the color yet again.

It took me a little to get used to the color, but we are going to like it a lot. Once we get the cabinets, floors, carpet, tile, etc. in, it will take on new shades again, I'm sure. It's a nice neutral color that isn't white.

We selected "Mannered Gold" for the bonus room and I absolutely love it. It turned out really nice and is a good neutral, but fun color for this room. I think it will bring out some gold in the carpet we selected as well. We'll have fun with the day beds in the dormers also in this room. Yay!!
