I usually end up giving a quick answer in the comments section of a post or in an email, but I thought maybe I could also just link to this post in the future and hopefully that will be a little more helpful for people.Plus, I love talking about paint colors!.I think I’ve really settled on a great palette of colors for our home that seems to work no matter what the season is or how many times I decide to tweak my design style.

Obviously that’s important to me because I’m always changing things up for the seasons and to share here on the blog and I don’t want to be repainting every  month!.The one color you’ll see more than any other color in my home is from CIL paints and is called Zeppelin.

It’s that perfect warm grey that looks good in any room, in any light, with any type of decor, and with any other color.

Bright seasonal colors really pop against it, but it’s also great for pairing it up with texturey neutrals and crisp whites.I’m not done yet, but it’s already had much more of an impact on my daily enjoyment of my home than I ever thought it would..

The first thing I did that really made an impact was to paint out every single ugly dark brown surface in the room.That obviously completely changed the feel of the place..

The other huge, major, monumental change came with the rug.Even though the vinyl flooring in here is very neutral, it still feels so so so good to just cover up a good portion of it with this beautiful rug of my dreams.. I’ve been looking at different area rugs for the last year or so and I’ve been really disappointed by what I’ve been finding.
