It’s been a while. Ok a LONG while since my last post. Things have been busy and I have so much to share with the house reno.
The bedrooms and hallway have been painted and mouldings applied. We opted for a light blue in the boys’ bedrooms {I have to look up the name – it’s a Benjamin Moore colour} and went with Revere Pewter by Benjamin Moore for the master. I absolutely love this colour. It’s calming and provides a nice, neutral palette to really bring in other colours through pillows and accessories. I have yet to actually do that, but at least the foundation has been laid!
The upstairs hallway, along with the main rooms/hallway of the main floor is painted in Chocolate Froth by Behr. This has to be my favourite neutral. It seems to change colour when the sun hits the wall or when a lamp is on in the evening. Again, like Revere Pewter, it provides a wonderful backdrop or foundation to then use your colourful imagination for accessories and pillows.
Things are {slowly} moving along in the master bathroom. This was our inspiration:

I loved the look so much, we had a custom vanity made that is pretty similar. I am really loving white cabinetry right now – for both kitchens and bathrooms. I will do a separate post once things are moving along to share what we decided to go with in terms of tiles, paint colour etc.
Lastly, we made a HUGE change to the layout of the main floor.
Original layout
New layout! We made a few tweeks to this layout too, but they are minor.
I am working on an in-depth post that describes this reno…let’s just say, it was a fun one! Stay tuned!
