Accent Color

The painter started adding our accent colors to certain areas. This one's hard to see with the cabinets in the way, but the art nich above the fireplace is a little darker. I really like how it turned out. I was worried it would be too dark, but it's not. It's just right!

Here's the same accent color in the art niche on Cory's wall.

Everyone that comes in comments about Amber's room. I love it. And it's bright. I think it will calm down when we get the beadboard up and painted the lighter shade. I think it's absolutely gorgeous, though. :-)

Bonus room - we get great comments about this color too. Perfect gold color that's a little different than the rest of the house.

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!!

Various Updates

They started painting the fascia. I like the color!

We also went to the Lighting Center on Friday to go through light fixture selections. We have most of them picked, but will be meeting Jamie K there in another week to review and make any changes. I'm very excited about our selections and can't wait to see things coming together.

We are working on staking the front circle drive because they will be laying road base sometime next week. Every time it rains, we've got a mud quagmire and no one can get in. Doesn't look like any moisture this week, so hopefully they'll get it done. Not sure why I haven't heard about the water tap into the water district line. I have a long list of things to talk to Wayne about and that is one of them. Every time I walk into the house, I see another place for an outlet or a light!!
