I figured you had everything figure out in your head already. Chat Icon Chat Icon When is the closing?

What is the overall feel you want for the house? Deep rich colors....nice and comfy or cool colors to keep things bright and light and soothing?

I really love Valspar colors. They really have a lot of great colors. Not that BM doesn't have great colors too, but some of them are just different. I love Valspars blue/green colors.

I love the blue/green in our Family Room: Beach House and I also love the tan it's called Swoosh. I had BM make the colors for me, so I didn't use Valspar paint.

Our bedroom is Bher Russian Blue. It's like a blueish greyish periwinklish. Chat Icon Please keep in mind we just bought our first "real" bedroom set. Obviously we didn't get it yet. It's white wood and a wrought iron bed.

My bedroom really doesn't match the rest of our house. It's so "americana". Guess it goes with our 4th of July wedding.Chat Icon

Chat Icon I was so afraid to plan ahead this time that it might fall thorugh and i would be let down again. but closing is March 15Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I like the cooler tones I'm not about bright colors, but I'm open to anything. i want everything to look neat and calming if that makes sense, nothing to loud. If I need color I think I will add it with fabrics because i change my mind so often I want the colors to be neutral, but colors Chat Icon if that makes any sense Chat Icon you would think this would be so easy for me!!! helpChat Icon

awwww I'm sorry Heather. I can understand why you would want to wait. But now it's getting exciting. You must have a great magazine to blog that you love what they do. A place you love that you want to recreate in your home. Maybe you need to live in the house or be in the house for a couple of weeks before you know what you want in color. Put that old work hat on, you know what I mean. Chat Icon

I'm telling you go and look at the colors in Valspar.

Check out Waverly & Seaside Retreat collections. I hope this link takes you there. They really are great color. Soft, cool, calm, clean, but still color. I'm telling you once you see the colors you will be picking them all up, I did. Chat Icon

I have BM Tranquility in my LR. I get so many complements on it....DH hates it but he's color blind so I just ignore him.
