I’ve been on a roll the last few weeks spring cleaning and repainting! I love the spring, it’s my favorite time of the year!
Last year I repainted my bedroom, in Sherwin Williams Wool Skein, I loved the color so much two weeks ago I repainted the guest room in the same color (which is no longer a guest room since I recently turned into a home gym). This color is amazing, in some lighting it looks taupe with a hint of grey in other lighting it looks grey with a hint of taupe!! Since I use a lot of black for accent color in my house I decided for the gym I’d keep it light, using driftwood stain and white textiles, these two colors along with the wool skein walls will be the only color in that room.
Keeping with painting, last weekend I decided to repaint the stairwell, I was going to paint the walls the same wool skein color but decided I wanted something a little darker, so I ended up going one shade darker, Sherwin Williams Relaxed Khaki. The color in the bedrooms is more “Mushroom” or “Putty” looking, I’m not sure why they call the shade darker Relaxed Khaki since there is no green in the color.
Here is a photo of the guestroom and hall before I repainted (guestroom was Sherwin Williams Honeydew Mellon, hall was just beige)
Here is the same area in the new paint colors
Unfortunately my camera phone doesn’t take the best photos (the new paint color photos) and these photos of the new wall color were taken on a cloudy day but you can see the change non the less! Here are a few more photos of the afters (more before photos can be seen on my main site here)
Now I just have to finish the gym, restain a side board that belonged to my parents, I’m going to stain that in driftwood, make my shelves to display some real drift wood pieces, hang my white roman shade (also have the same roman shade in a darker color for the winter) add lighting and other accessories, as soon as the gym is finished I’ll create a new post for that! If I can find my real camera I’ll retake these photos since the camera on my phone really doesn’t do these rooms justice!
Here are color chips for these two colors wool skein and Relaxed Khaki
