The Paint

Here's some pics of our newly painted living room. It's really nothing to be that excited about, but some people were requesting pictures. Char helped me pick out the color, so if you don't like it, blame her. Honestly? I love it. But then again, after 12 years of apartment-beige walls, I think any color would've been an improvement.

LOVE IT! So jealous. Apartment living bites sometimes. Okay, most times.

Looks great! Of course my apartments all had hospital white flat paint walls that looked horrible 5 minutes after moving in.

Looks great! I feel such a sense of relief! Picking paint for other people = anxiety.

Behr's Winter Wheat. not Summer Wheat. or Spring. And if you try the Fall Wheat, it won't look anything like this.

I think it looks awesome!!

Trading Spaces happened to be on the tv when I took the pictures. It must've been an older one because the picture I took right before that one had Paige Davis on the screen. (didn't use that pic because it was a little blurry. the living room, not Paige Davis)

ahhhh cool. I was wondering...lol

Jane said...

Does that have a goldish tone to it?

I really like it, looks good

sheri said...

jane,
yes. it's a little bit darker and a little bit more goldish in person. We're planning on changing to dark wood furniture soon. I think that will look even better.

It looks great! I really like the color...may have to use it as well.

I'm so glad someone asked (and you answered) about what was on TV b/c I was wondering too!

Jane said...

Thanks Sheri--

I am trying to find a good color for my new house. The cabinets are cherry with a paprika stain on them. I wanted to do some type of goldish color. But, Jim says no yellow. I think this maybe a good match! Can I copy :P

sheri said...

of course you can copy, Jane!!!! I'd be honored! lol

Lei said...

Beautiful color!

Jane said...

okay--Behr has all paint 30% this week-end and one of the gallons I bought (out of 5) is winter wheat. I am going to do Dallas' room this color, and then put some on the family room, kitchen and dining and see where else I want to use it. I am excited!

I keep looking at your pictures to get a good feel for the color, yes I'm a dork.

sheri said...

I heart you, Janer. I heart you more than words can say. I expect pictures of all your rooms now. And remember...it really is a bit darker irl than showed up in my pics. Totally love it still, though.

I do love the color of your walls! Good job! ;)
