Vintage Yellow and Tinted Veil

While showing my friend, Meghann, around the house one day she suggested that I paint the rooms upstairs since nothing structually needed to be done with them and once painted, I could call them DONE! So, I took her advice and got to work priming away to be one step closer to seeing some sort of completion in the house. We had some sweet friends from church come help us on a Saturday to paint away up here in the guest room. The color is called "Vintage Yellow" by Glidden and I'm very happy with the result.

It's sunny by color in the day, but gets really toned down when the sun sets.

This is the kids' room painted in "Tinted Veil" by Valspar. It's really just a true gray color. I like it, but I'm going to like it better with my colorful decorations up! I think it'll be a perfect neutral pallette to begin with though.

It gets a lot darker when you turn the corner in the room towards Will's side of the room, but there's only room for his crib there so dark is actually not that bad. My mom was just in town and made curtains for the room. Check back soon to see the goodness. They're beautiful. :)

Updated Picture Tour

It's been a while. We're busy with two babies and a house renovation. I'm sure you can understand. :) I forget what you've seen and what you haven't so let me just pull some pics out to show you what's been going on.
The new paint color, "vintage yellow" by Glidden, that will go in the pink guest room upstairs.

The "Filtered Shade" gray color by Valspar that will go in the kids room upstairs.

Proud of my priming skills upstairs now that both rooms are done. Just primed...not painted.

The fireplace cleaned and ready to be sealed. Remember, the stove is going to hide that patch of new brick. I know, it still looks dirty, but that is the best it's going to get. We call it "rustic." :)

Updated staircase with the wall gone and new pine stair treads. We're trying to come up with a cool idea for a custom banister now...staircase post to come...

Vaulted ceiling in dining room with sheetrock and brand new windows that Adam replaced!

Old doorway leading from former living room to former dining room. Now that it's a master bedroom, we needed to wall it up.

House on an early Saturday morning waiting for work to be done.

Through those beams is my new laundry room that Adam and his dad framed up. Doorway entrance is from the hall. We're looking at it from the dining room.

And the sheetrock work that still needs to be done in the sitting room over the boards and on both sides of the doors.
