{Family Room Paint Color} – before & after

I get emails all the time on my paint color in the main areas of my house, and after this post from yesterday i got a few more.  I actually repainted a few months back and forgot to post any before & after pics.

Honestly, the change was so subtle no one really even notices!  Except me of course :)

Here are a few pics from the past with the old color…Whoah!  These are some old pics!  Almost nothing is the same as it is now!!

I really liked the color, it was a greenish gray and very neutral.  It was one that kinda changed with the day.  Sometimes though the green was a little too much and it clashed with some other colors that i tried to bring in.  Sometimes i thought it was a little too “minty”  – like toothpaste :)

Here is one a little more recently…

So a couple months back i decided to paint.  I still wanted to keep the light and bright, but get rid of the green tone.  I painted over all the green with Sherwin Williams Repose Gray tinted @ 125% in a satin finish.  I really like the color, its clean and fresh and is dark enough that it contrasts with all the white shutters and molding.  Plus its a warm gray and looks great with our dark hardwood floors.

This pic is a pretty accurate look @ the new color…

What do you think, can you even tell the difference?!!
