![]() Painting such a bold color on cabinets scares me a bit, but the rest of the kitchen is going to be all white and I want the island to feel like a separate piece of furniture. The only other color giving me pause is the Blustery Sky Blue color for the kitchen island and our master bath cabinets. The Newburyport Blue I used on the laundry room walls at our old house (check it out here), but this time around it’s going on the cabinets in the basement and little man’s bathroom. The Topsail for my daughter’s room is the same color that we used in my parent’s Florida house – you can check out more pics here. Here’s the rest of the breakdown of what lake house paint colors will go where – Also, that is the last time I ask a 5 year old boy for decorating advice! Maybe some vintage maps on the wall and some old Pirate ship art? One thing we compromised on is he really wants brown walls – “so it feels like the inside of a ship mom!” I showed him the warmer gray paint chip of Functional Gray and he said “close enough!’ It’s a little darker and warmer than I was planning on (but better than the poop brown he wanted), so I’m still thinking on that one. Yeahhhhhh…my plan is a little more subtle. Thanks to our trip to Disney last week (his favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean) he has grand plans of a pirate ship bed, cannons coming out of his wall, a barrel of rum in the corner (completely appropriate for a 5 year old…) and a plank to walk. ![]() The only one I’m not so sure about is the Functional Gray, anyone out there have a room with Functional Gray walls? It’s for my son’s bedroom, he wants a Pirate theme. I’m feeling pretty good about all of the colors. ![]() Here’s what I’ve narrowed it down to… I think – I’m determined to get it right this time around, so I have been doing my research! Scouring Pinterest, spending hours in the paint store, and polling my Facebook followers (thanks for all the suggestions!) I repainted Every… Single…Wall… in the last house, and we only lived there 5 years. Paint is so tricky, and I have made my share of mistakes when it comes to picking the right color. If you follow me on Facebook, then you know I have been picking paint colors for the new house – one of my most dreaded tasks! You can see I went through just a few paint chips below… You can click here to see how the colors look in each room! UPDATE: Now that we have finished building our house I have a new paint post up that shows all Lake House Paint Colors these in action.
