More Painting

The hallway has more wall space than any other room in the house.  Below is a schematic of our house layout with the hallway colored in…you see how much wall space we are talking?! 



It’s not a lot of square footage, but it’s 10 foot ceilings everywhere.  Here’s the color it used to be.


That drab beige that was EVERYWHERE when we first moved in.  All I did, was go to a warmer neutral, and look at how much richer the hall looks (forgive the terrible lighting).




It is crazy that just a darker shade of neutral has made our house look so different.  I’m thinking of continuing that color into the master bedroom (with the exception of the feature wall, whose color I have not yet settled on), but not any time soon.  I am DONE painting inside our house for quite some time.

Just to recap on all the painting we have done (a lot of the pictures are old!)…

We painted the living room blue,

The dining room green,


The sunroom yellow,

 
The laundry room chocolate,

 
The kitchen gray,


And now the hallway Gobi Dessert (all Behr Ultra Premium Plus paint).  But looking at the schematic and all the beige left….it looks like we’ve barely even started!  Here’s what our house looks like in colors.

We've got all three bedrooms and the office left to do (the two bathrooms were already blue and yellow when we moved in).  Anyone like to paint? :)
