The color palate

While demolition was going on in the house, we were also busy figuring out the color palate for the house.  Since this style of home is new for both of us, we hired a decorator to help with different textures (wall/wood/finishing types, paint colors, layout, etc).  We have made a few changes, but were thrilled with the ideas she had for us.  We plan to do all the furniture buying and decor on our own at a later date.  We were so excited about the various paint colors that we bought samples of each to paint on a test piece of wood.  All of the colors are Sherwin Williams colors.  They are all a gray base, except for a punch of green for the upper kitchen cabinets.  We wanted to do something adventurous in the kitchen, thus the green cabinets!  The colors we have chosen are as follows:
-Useful Gray: all the trim throughout the house, living room walls, kitchen and master bedroom ceiling, office and laundry room floor
-Gray Area: kitchen walls, guest bed/office walls and ceiling
-Fawn Brindle: Master bedroom walls
-Universal Khaki: kitchen floor
-Gauntlet Gray: lower cabinets in kitchen, all cabinets in laundry room, all exterior doors
-Garden Spot: upper kitchen cabinets

Prepping for painting our sample pieces.  Cookies are a must for this! 

We are impatient and dried the wood in the oven so we could add a second coat asap!
