Step 1 - Picking A Paint Color

I didn't update last week in remembrance of 9/11. 

But I'm back on my every Saturday posting grind. 

 This post is not going to be a ranch-glam post. It's going to be a "this-is-real-life" post. 

 We've decided that we are going to paint the formal dining room first. 

 But with that comes the not so easy task of picking a paint color!

Our current situation.  It's not great.

Who knew that picking a paint color would be so difficult?!

Though we thought we'd go with a soft-white, Isaac and I both agreed that we'd like the interior of the house to be primarily a beautiful, neutral grey.  And once you settle on a color, then you have to SETTLE ON A COLOR.  

There are so many shades of grey!  Grey with white tones, grey with pink tones, grey with blue tones, grey with black tones.  It's so overwhelming!

After spending much time looking at the swatches, we decided to try the following three that you see in the pic above.

After letting the paint dry, we've decided to go with the one on the far right.  A soft, heathery grey.

Next on the agenda is to actually DO IT!  
Which means that we need to finish selling/donating select items in our formal dining room, moving things out of the room, getting the plastic tarp to protect the floors, and just doing it!

Here comes the fun part of being a homeowner.

Wish us luck!
