our sweet home south {update: paint colors}

Good morning, Sweets!!

I hope y'all are doing wonderful on this beautiful fall Wednesday!!

Decisions are being made everyday on Our Sweet Home South. Thank goodness The Hubbs and I know what we want and have the same vision or else this process would not be a happy one.

Today, I have our decisions on paint colors!! As I mentioned in our last post on Our Sweet Home South, we are going with brown-grey neutrals with a splash of blue-green. Our vision is to create a cozy home where we can relax {hint: the brown-grey neutrals} and have fun {hint: the splash of blue-green} at the same time!!

Drumroll Please...

TA-DA!! Our Sweet Home South's color scheme!!

The colors from left to right: Snowbound, Sea Salt, Collonade Gray, Travertine & Baby Elephant

Our inspiration was Baby Elephant. It was my first color pick that I was drawn to. From there, The Hubbs and I have coordinated the remaining colors around sweet Baby Elephant. Doesn't that just sound so cute and sweet, y'all?! I promise there is NO baby in the brain!! Haha!!

{Wall Colors}

We will be using the above paint colors for the walls within Our Sweet Home South. From Top-Left going Clockwise: Baby Elephant, Collonade Gray & Travertine

Baby Elephant ~ Living Room Accent wall color to make our mantle pop!! This sweet color will also be our bedroom wall color to give our intimate space a luxe feel. This color is from the Clark & Kensington Paint Collection found at your local ACE Hardware.

Collonade Gray ~ Guest Room and Office walls color to create a smooth transition for the eye!! This chic color will allow us to dress up or dress down our Guest Room and Office. It will also look perfect with the Guest Bedroom headboard. This color is from the Sherwin Williams Traditional Twist Paint Collection.

Travertine ~ Living Room and Hallway walls to make sure Our Sweet Home South feels open and airy! This cozy color pulls together the browns and greys and is a perfect color to complement our sweet Baby Elephant. This color is from your local ACE Hardware.

{Ceiling Color}

We will be using the above paint color, Snowbound, for the ceiling within Our Sweet Home South.

Snowbound ~ Ceiling color to warm up every inch of Our Sweet Home South!! This color is from the Sherwin Williams Livable Lux Paint Collection.

{Kitchen & Bathroom Color}

We will be using the above paint color, Sea Salt, for the Kitchen and Bathrooms within Our Sweet Home South.

Sea Salt ~ Kitchen and Bathroom color to add a splash of blue-green within our Sweet Home South!! We decided on doing the same color for the Kitchen and Bathrooms to keep a theme within our humble home. At first, we were going to do a more blue paint color in the Bathrooms and Sea Salt in the Kitchen, but wanted to keep a simple and classic color throughout the Kitchen and Bathrooms. This color is from the Sherwin Williams Coastal Cool Paint Collection.

Shout out to my sister-in-law for using this color within her new home. When I saw it up on her kitchen walls, I was all oooh's and aaaw's!! Also, the Sherwin Williams sales guy suggested Sea Salt, even though it is a trendy color now, it will become a classic color over time.

There y'all go, Sweets!! Our Sweet Home South is coming together decision by decision!!

Stay posted for updates to Our Sweet Home South!!

  2. The Baby Elephant looks absolutely lovely! The darker shades of grey are considered versatile colors because they are neutral yet fitting to be partnered with any other color or shade. I think it’s a good choice for your bedroom wall. I hope you post some pictures of when all the parts of your house are painted! It would be great to see the final results!
