Hey everyone! How are you? Things in my life have been hectic.
I've been meaning to update forever but every time I come on Blogger to write a post I get so busy reading the blogs that I follow the next thing I know hours have past
and it's time to go to bed or spend time with the hubs
( BTW some of the blogs I'm currently LOVING http://thehotnessyourmommawarnedyouabout.blogspot.com/ who was recommended by one of my favorite bloggers http://www.ohtobeamuse.com/ and another new favorite is http://la-lalinh.blogspot.com/ AND the amazing Leah http://kindlifeofleah.blogspot.com/ who inspires me with every post she writes to eat and live healthier). Seriously girls, go check out these great blogs...
I cannot believe how quickly my house is being built.
I mean, I know the market is slow and there's not a lot of construction going on but seriously my house broke ground June 3rd and it's pretty much half way done!
Here are some pics!

I know it's really hard to tell what's what on the inside from these pictures but the next time I go by the walls should be up!
They are putting in the electrical first part of next week and after inspection they will start the drywall! That's when the fun starts.
I'll be able to see my color selections installed!
The tile, carpet, cabinet and counter tops! I can't wait to see it all come together.
I think I am driving Mr. LabelSnob nuts with wall paint swatches/samples!
I know that I want grey but- OMG! There are a million different grey (or is it grays? I never know) and it has been SO hard picking a wall color for the interior! I'm not sure if I want a cool grey or a warm grey!
I just know I want it to be as neutral as possible! No green, blue, purple or red undertones, thank you very much! Any suggestions?
I hope everyone if having an amazing weekend and I'll post again soon!
XOXO

My favorite grey color is Silver Fox from Benjamin Moore. Its the perfect warm grey color!
ReplyDelete@ Mai- I bought a sample of Silver Fox and LOVE it!!! it's my front runner!!!!! Thanks for comment! :)
ReplyDelete@ Mai-Also...I'm looking for a darker accent color to pair with Silver Fox, any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it look purple at all. It took me a while to find a grey that is not too blue or too purple. I think maybe because of my camera or lightning.??
ReplyDeletehere are some of my other favorites!
BM gettyburg gray
BM gravel gray- its a little darker than SF - I'm thinking about using this for my powder room
BM chelsea gray- its more of a blue.
Hope this helps! :)
right about the neutrals! anyway, can't wait to see the result!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on ur new house!
ReplyDelete@ Mai I have officially decided on Silver Fox! Thanks for all the other color suggestions too-I love all of them! You have such great taste! :)
