just paint...brain surgery it aint!

so, we chose a nice neutral Valspar paint color called 'seagull gray' to paint all of the interior walls. we think that the gray will look clean and sharp against the bright white trim and crown moulding. depending on the lighting conditions and time of day, the walls look anywhere from beige to blue...and sometimes gray. we are really pleased with the results. (not easy to see in these photos...)





(those are the kitchen cabinets in the background...we are installing them tomorrow!)


now, for the bathroom, we are breaking a cardinal rule of house flipping--which is to use only neutral and light paint colors. BUT, since there is a lot of white and not so much wall space in the bathroom, we decided to go with a bold blue that matches the blue mosaic tile in the floor. we are still 2nd guessing it, but here it is...a picture of the first coat (we will probably need at least 3 coats for good coverage)

we also think that the blue will look good with the satin nickel accents: faucets, light fixture, and accessories. oh well, no turning back now!
