I thought it would be an appropriate time  to repost how we came to find the perfect color for the bulk of our home while my in-laws are trying to find the perfect color for their home they are remodeling out here.

During the process of trying to find the perfect color for the bulk of our home, I realized we  needed to stick with warm colors because of our dark flooring, iron work and stone. The grey I had envisioned was sadly not going to become a reality in our home.

You know what?
It's OK!

I also found that this was something a lot of you were going through, I wasn't the only one wanting to  change out our beige for something a little more sophisticated.

After lots and lots of research, many trips to the paint store and lots of samples I have learned a lot. I am by no means a color expert, but I do feel like I can make a homecomfortable and loved with a bit of elegance.

So below you will find some tried and true colors, all of which came highly recommended. I posted a picture of the color, the color used in a room and any other details I thought you might find helpful in trying to find that perfect

neutral.

So that about sums up my findings on paint, I hope it will help you along your journey to finding the perfect neutral.

Remember, once you have gone to the paint store and picked out your favorites, tape the sample cards to the wall. From there buy samples of them to paint on your wall. Make sure you look at them in the morning, afternoon and evening, they will look different' as the light changes. Pick the one that works well with your flooring, furniture and looks best to you!

Have a wonderful day, thanks for stopping in today!
