Dark floors, light walls

Whoa have I been busy! With so much going,  2 design projects and my own house in total disarray my blog has taken a back seat. Well friends I'm sharing some updates! 

A while back I showed how taking the carpet off the stairs was going to not only save money but really make a huge impact on our house. Beware this project is NOT for the cleaning fanatic or impatient type (me). There has been dust everywhere, smells, sore arms,bengay and heating pads involved in this project! 

Somehow I missed reading that line in all the blogs I read prior to this. But we are getting to the home stretch. My floors are done! Gorgeous Rustoleum Kona! 


The pine treads stained beautifully dispute the argument. With the floor company and even the landing on my front set of stairs look amazing with just the 1st coat of poly.


So now it's time for the walls. Going with the whole pale Greige craze will look amazing the buttery cream we have now is not bad but it's time to update the kitchen paint so might as well make it even all around. The whole open concept really forces to pick a neutral color and Benjamin Moore's Edgecomb Gray (middle)is the ticket! Although Revere Pewter(bottom) is the top choice these days it's just too purple looking in my walls. It's amazing how paint changes in every light. The top color was my mix of Edgecomb mixed with  25% white, but not enough depth for me!



So light it is. Ill keep you posted on that reveal and pics to come soon from an amazing master and powder bath make over!
