Well, I have to post on paint again because my last post got me all riled up. For instance, certain people on my team have a taste for darker colors. I think dark colors are really nice in larger houses with fab fixtures or even some smaller houses, when the mood is right. Fab fixtures and dark walls can come off very luxe. However, in my very first house that had 3 bedrooms and one bathroom, dark hardwoods and sat on a hill where it was literally flooded with light, I wanted a brighter color.
I went with Sherwin-Williams Organza (#6637). It is a light peach that dazzles in the sun. I really just wanted the main living spaces to be this color and not the bedrooms, but our contractor made clear that more than one color would cost us and the house was already going to be over budget because of issues we did not suss out during the due diligence period, and it was my first house so I was totally intimidated (this is the one with the latrine laundry) and so I didn’t speak up (DUMB) and the whole house ended up this fresh peach color. It may not be ideal, but it’s not terrible, people, check it out:
Does that look like “affordable housing” to you? That’s what I’m saying! So can I get a little credit?! Okay, I think I now have closure. Thanks for your indulgence.
