My Paint Colors

It is about time I got around to sharing the paint colors in my home in one concise post. It has been on my to do list since the first day I slathered a wall with color. Over the past 4.5 years I have painted many walls. Our dining room has been four different colors, three of those colors were all painted in one year. It's a little crazy. But I have learned that it takes time and trial and error in finding the right tone for your home--something that was definitely worth buying an extra couple of paint cans for. I have, over the past year, settled into my light colored, almost white home. I prefer white paints with a brownish-grey undertone. I want the white to feel warm against the white curtains and furniture (whereas bluer undertones feel cold).
I still have a few blue walls remaining from my blue-grey phase but they have lasted the test of time and create a nice accent to my otherwise white walls. Every computer screen and photo is going to give a different perception of the paint colors, but I do my best to edit my photos true to real life color with good natural light.
My paint finish of choice is egg shell. Even in the kitchen and bathrooms, I prefer a less shiny finish. You have to pick the finish that works for your home but I personally rarely find myself cleaning our walls. Even with my nephew around, we have not needed a more wipe-able finish on our walls. Some of our walls are semi-gloss but if I was to do it again, I would go with egg shell.
