Day 6 of 31 days of prepping for the Holidays - A new color scheme

So today my husband and I had to do a lot of running around for supplies.  As I said it is a
MASSIVE
PROJECT.

The list was long and since we are now in a rural area it was almost an hour drive to the town that had the supplies we need.   The thing is I realized I don't mind driving (riding shotgun...hee..hee)  a while to get supplies or groceries if that is the sacrifice that I need to make in order to live in the mountains.

This morning was beautiful.  It was raining and the fog weaving its way in and out of the trees.
Fall was in the air.....heck winter was in the air.  The temp was 37 degrees.   And all I could think was 
YIPPEE!!!!

Fall means cashmere sweaters, hats, gloves, boots, warm jackets, fires crackling in the fireplace

brandy and wine
soups and stews
homemade bread
apples and pumpkins!!

YIPPEE!!!!

It was a great day because I really love to shop for 
SUPPLIES!
Paint, tape, plastic sheeting, primer, rollers, brushes, trays and so much more
I AM IN HEAVEN!!!

It was a great day!

Ok so I digress......geez how does that happen?
Back to to subject....oh yeah  A New Color Scheme
So these are the
TRIAL
colors I placed strategically around the living room and kitchen:








Some of these worked......some didn't.

The light...The Shadows...The lack of light

is what made the difference.


 And so here is the color scheme:



TOMORROW THE PAINTING BEGINS!!

I love the pinky beige wall with the burgundy accent. I have that in my dining room and it looks stunning!

Pinky beige always works with a bordeaux color. Love the gray too. You've got a big project on your hands! Looking forward to seeing the final reveal.
