Revered Pewter

Before and After

First you should try and picture this in your head: A shockingly lime green house with a red brick fireplace. Now paint over that shocking lime green with pasty peach. But do it poorly so that your lovely peach colour ends up smeared on the ceiling, the underside of the window trims, and some of the green still pokes through if you look for it. Also leave the back side of the fireplace green.

Got it?

Now imagine that. 

A red brick fireplace with the back side shocking lime with peach EVERYWHERE else. 

Welcome to my home :)

Needless to say the peach must go! I've slowly been painting over it all with this lovely colour from Benjamin Moore called "Revered Pewter" It's a fantastic "greige" as is so popular right now. So fantastic in fact that it was the same colour my sister painted her beautiful home. In all fairness she painted first, but I didn't know the colour name until she saw my paint job and asked me. Discovering we had picked the same colour! I guess good taste runs in the family.

As switching up the tiles is a big job they'll stay for now. But it's been a fun process to see the house transform with just a coat of paint. I LOVE painting with Benjamore Moore Aura paint. It's so stellar. Really just a coat and a bit. Which is awesome because I can only ever paint for about an hour at time while the babe naps.

The peach is almost gone now. Just the bathroom left to go, and touching up the mess that was left on the trim. Seriously people! If you can't edge well... TAPE! (rant over.)
