I’m finally settled in to  my new condo and I’ve spent the last two weeks painting and moving in. Picking the perfect paint colors for each room was the harder than I thought it would be. I had several colors in mind before deciding on what I wanted. I knew I wanted my condo to have a chic and contemporary feel and could be place where I could relax at the end of the day.

When picking a paint color its best to go with a lighter color if you have a smaller room. Also lighter colors tend to make the room cooler so you are probably less likely to crank up the air when feeling warm.

For the living room, I knew I wanted a gray-beige color that would great all of my furniture. So after three picks, I narrowed it down to Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore. What do you think?

For my master bedroom, I immediately fell in love with Rainwashed by Sherwin Williams when I first spotted it on Pinterest months ago. This color is refreshing and reminds me of sitting on the beach watching the waves go by.

My extra bedroom was just fine and so I didn’t make any changes. I also plan to slowly make updates to the kitchen by painting it another color. So I’ll keep you in tune to that project once I decide what color I want to use. I’m making this place feel like home by adding furniture and making a few small changes.
