My Coastal Craftsman Color Palette


As most of you know by now a few months ago my husband and I found our PERFECT house in our PERFECT neighborhood! We were determined to get this house despite having made peace with the fact we probably weren't going to move for a few more years. This house changed everything! It is literally like this house was made exactly for my family.  That being said it was a very emotional two months being under contract with some ups and downs and issues BUT finally last Friday we got the keys! 

We went there that night with dinner and champagne and hung out with the neighbors and let the girls run wild and it was basically pure bliss! I still can't believe this dream of a house is ours.  
The only good news of sitting in limbo for so long was that I got everything planned so that this week we could begin working on the things we need done.  
 
This post in particular is about the color palette of the house.  I'll be sharing lots of posts all dedicated to specific topics!

Our current home is just under 1300 sq feet and my new one is 2600! I could just die! I have so much storage and so much room, I literally just stare at my kitchen..:) But that is for another post. Back to the paint.
The home is almost brand new so the exterior is in perfect condition and a beautiful color already so I just need to change the interior colors.  My husband wants this house to be a little more modern, I want to stick with traditional craftsman style and of course add in the coastal charm! I suppose we could call this project "My Coastal Craftsman with a modern twist".  Haha! Or whatever...lets just call it MY DREAM! :)  

It's no secret I'm a BEHR girl so all my paint has come from Home Depot!

Neutrals by BEHR Paint

I've been working on a project for the past two weeks and what always seems to be the most challenging part is choosing paint colors.  I have been wanting to find a nice neutral that isn't too "Gray" and isn't too "Beige" but not too white either. I personally like the look of white walls in pictures but in reality I'm not a huge fan.  Also, I like to see a contrast between painted walls and white trim.  Each time I look over on Pinterest for inspiration I find lots of suggestions for other paint brands..but I'm a BEHR girl :)  We spend so much time at Home Depot it just makes more sense for us.  That being said I decided to share with all of you my suggestions for finding the perfect "light Greige" by BEHR Paints!   To start off with here are three options that are lighter/cooler but will still show a nice contrast next to white. 1. Drizzle 2. Sterling 3. Halation These three options are als

Weekend in Miami!

  Over the past weekend we drove down to Miami and spent the night at our favorite beach front hotel..Marenas Resort.  It was our anniversary weekend and wanted to go somewhere we could have fun with the whole family. This is now the second time we have taken the girls to this particular resort (which is pretty impressive because both my husband and I love trying new places.) This resort offers "condo style" rooms which is awesome when traveling with children, has a really good onsite restaurant and is located right on Sunny Isles Beach.  The standard suite has views of both the ocean and the harbor. Stunning views! They also do NOT charge extra for beach chairs and umbrellas which is almost unheard of now a days.  It's moderately priced for everything your getting in this location. These are the views off the patios and around the pool.  I just love Miami's water! Its such a beautiful color and reminds me of the Bahamas!  We spent
