Painters are here starting today at the House on a Hill 2.0, and I can’t tell you how excited I am. Well I could, but you’d probably think the paint fumes had gone to my head.
The color scheme that existed in this house is… let’s just say not my taste. The entire house is shades of beige, with the exception of 3 kids rooms upstairs, all varying stages of a so-cute-and-bright-I-want-to-tear-my-eyeballs-out palette. The pink bedroom was the least offensive of the three.
Before: Bubblegum Pink
Since patience is only sometimes a virtue of mine, and knowing that we’d have guests in this room in a matter of weeks, I took a paint brush matters into my own hands.
After: Gauntlet Gray
It probably feels a little stark at the moment, as I haven’t yet got art onto the walls or found curtains long enough for the high ceilings, but it’s progress.
When the painters are done, get ready for a full house before and after post! Happy Friday, y’all!
Red on the Right 
Can’t wait to see the results! Love your home posts!
Love how a bit of paint can really change the feel of a space. Can’t wait to share the rest! 🙂
LOVE that shade of blue/grey with the white paneling below! Just lovely.
Thank you! I also painted our study the same color, but as it doesn’t get as much natural light it’s a bit more dramatic and really tricky to photograph. I’m happy with it though!
The new color is gorgeous! I don’t blame you, that pink definitely needed to go ASAP.
Goodbye bubblegum pink! Hello gray 🙂
I definitely prefer your color palette
Oh, I can’t wait to share the other bedrooms. Every time I walk into them my eyes bleed a little.
That pink is… special.
That’s a nice way to put it.
Check out Ikea for curtains — we got really long ones there that didn’t totally break the bank 🙂
