I love blog parties! I stumbled across this blog (via Hooked on Houses) called 320 Sycamore today and saw she was hosting a Paint Color Party and I just had to join!
She’s asking for some paint color photo inspiration today so here goes!
Here is the new “reading nook” in my living room. The walls are Ashley Gray by Benjamin Moore.
This ivory wall is actually old wood paneling, but we just painted over it with Acadia White by Benjamin Moore.
My kitchen has white cabinets (High Hiding White door, trim and cabinet paint by Ace Hardware), and the green is called Misted Fern by Benjamin Moore.
Someday I’d like to paint the kitchen a color called “Sulfur Yellow” by Benjamin Moore, but that has to wait until we get new countertops. We have the fake blonde wood laminate right now and it won’t go together, but I really, really love Sulfur Yellow (#1).
The dining room stripes are using the Misted Fern from the kitchen and the Acadia White from the living room in two different finishes. The green is a semi-gloss and the ivory is a satin, which gives it a wallpaper feel.
The bathroom is painted “Pumpernickel” by Ace Hardware paints. If you’ve been reading lately you’ll know we’ve been very busy on that project!! Click the link for more pictures of the surrounded-by-earthy-brown bathroom.
The bedroom’s upper 1/3rd is painted “Pilgrimage Foliage” by Benjamin Moore, and the lower 2/3rds are in the Acadia White (like the living room and dining room. We have a TON of it!)
My daughter’s bedroom is painted in “Everlasting” by Benjamin Moore and the bottom is..you guessed it! Acadia White!
My very unfinished office is painted in one of my very favorite colors: Old Salem Gray by Benjamin Moore. It depends on the light, but it can look beige, gray or green. As you can see this picture looks very green, but if you choose this color you won’t be sorry! It’s so pretty! I wish I would have gotten the office painted before the kitchen because I would have picked this for the kitchen instead of the brighter green.
And Melissa at 320 Sycamore showed a wall that she painted “Danville Tan” by Benjamin Moore…I had a client choose that color so here’s another shot of it paired with “Branchport Brown” by Benjamin Moore as well.
And there you have it – all the colors of Casa Christensen! The next room I’d like to paint is our laundry room, which I want a very light, barely there robin’s egg blue or light sage-y green like this photo. Mmmm…you know how I love pretty laundry rooms! And paint!

About Me
I'm an interior designer and a draftsperson, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, mom to 2 cute kids, and a homeowner and I like that even better. But right after that is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!

Oh, you stole my heart with that laundry room inspiration photo. Our new laundry is on my do later list, but WOW! I love your rooms- and your kitchen color is so FREASH! And applying with the other color and paint finish what super creative- it looks great!
Hi,
I came over by the paint party. I love the green and white stripes and your office is a wow. Did you use a rub on product for the design? It looks great.

Hi Cathy!
Do you mean the dandelion? That is in my daughter’s room, actually, and it’s a decal that I bought from a seller on etsy. The office is the green room with the little white desk (our next project). Thanks for the sweet comments!!
The dandelion is fabulous! I think your kitchen green is wonderful, but you do seem to favor the softer colors. You did a great job with the stripes too. Very nice!
Your colors and your home are great! And that woodstove, so cute with the scalloped trim on it.
Love the colors and the bedroom is BEAUTIFUL!!
Thank you so much, everyone!! I love blog parties – these are the most comments I’ve ever had!
Love your pictures! Your house is such a great mix of color and styles! That inspiration photo is to die for!
Love your rooms – they’re fabulous!
Blessings,
Marie
Wow! I love that green in your office and the dandelion on the wall is a perfect touch. The Everlasting caught my eye as well. Thanks so much for joining the party and it’s nice to meet you, Lindsay!
Love your colors! Does the Ashley Gray ever look purple in light or dark? Or is it mostly just a gray with some brown in it?
Hi Kristin!
No, Ashley Gray never looks purple. It really is a neutral gray, on the warm side, so it goes with anything and looks great in any light!
