As suggested by my grandmother, who is a decorating genius, we waited and got settled in the house before we started painting. It is so hard to choose paint colors when you are indecisive! I kid you not, I have 7 pints of sample paint sitting in the garage. Most of which have been rejected. There are paint swatches painted on hidden places on walls (behind doors that typically stay open, behind pictures on the wall). It's also been interesting having TWO architects in the house, both of which have very specific, design school-oriented opinions about paints. I'll like a color because, well, I like it. They won't like it because of how it interacts with the natural light that enters the room.
I did get one room painted though! For our downstairs half bath, I chose Benjamin Moore's "Homespun Charm", and I love it! It is the top color in the photo of one of my many hidden paint test areas. :)
Upcoming projects:
-plywood plank flooring in my office
