Pick us a Paint Color!



Okey dokey!
It's time to pick a paint color!

And, just so ya know, we're totally cool with any one of these handsome hues.

Re-decorating with you is FUN- so we're open to whichever color wins!

And, remember, the winning color will only be on a couple small walls (the rest of the room will be clad in white-painted wood planks)- so not only will the bed & bedding not be touching whichever wall color wins, it will be on the opposite side of the room from it too!

Here are the contenders...



(Sea Salt- Sherwin Williams, Silver Sage- Restoration Hardware, and Blue Hubbard- Sherwin Williams)

And here's a pic of the color we originally chose for the walls, next to a sample of Silver Sage...



It's crazy how taupe-y it looks next to the blue-ish-ness of Wedgewood Gray!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here are some pics of each color, zoomed in at a closer level...

Silver Sage:

Sea Salt:

Blue Hubbard:

If you'd like to join in on the fun, check out the poll in our sidebar to cast your vote!

We'll keep it open 'til Monday morning- and then we'll get crackin' on re-painting the walls next week!

Thanks friend!



We feel so blessed to be able to share our renovation and re-decorating adventures with you, and we appreciate your encouragement so much!



-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PS-

Here's a little high-def video footage too of our choices too!

Silver Sage from me, too =)

I like Sea Salt and Blue Hubbard. From the colors as they're seen on my screen, I'd go with Sea Salt because Blue Hubbard looks very green. But, after reading your post from earlier in the week, I grabbed samples of SS and BH and ended up with BH because the SS was more green...hmmmmmm.

Thanks for the color dilemma because you helped me find a color (and I've only been waiting 5 years to find the "perfect" color to get rid of the peach that was in my room). I finished painting this morning...so happy with the BH room.

Well, according to my computer's color resolution, the Blue Hubbard seems to work the best overall especially if the hue you're (you & Kevin)desiring is more watery.

The sea salt appears to have a hint of lavender rendering it more sky-like.

The one I find most restful is Blue Hubbard, so I hope that's your choice as well. By the way, as you mentioned in the video you have your favorite and I'm curious if Kevin agrees with your choice?

I vote Blue Hubbard! It is a beautiful back drop that doesn't contend with your beautiful bedding. It is so peaceful.

I've loved Silver Sage for years and years but it can be dark when it is, well, dark outside. It seems to NEED light to stay light.

I like the Sea Salt too but love the Blue Hubbard!

Your wall looks like my bedroom did a few years ago. Multi-colored until I landed and now love it.

I have the same quilt in my guest room, and I used Sea Salt, but I like Blue Hubbard better! I'm totally using it when we move to a new house!

Gail said...

I say Blue Hubbard. Love the way it looks with the bedding...and it seems to really suite the two of you. ;0)

Danielle said...

Blue Hubbard. It has a very Jane Austen-y feel to it!

Yanet @ 3 Sun Kissed Boys said...

I love the Sea Salt. Before I read the post, I saw the pictures and was drawn to it immediately. I still LOVE that dresser!

Tracey said...

My vote is for Silver Sage right off the bat.

Shades of pale said...

Easy choice .. Sea Salt !

Unknown said...

Layla,
I went to Sherwin Williams (and by the way they're doing 30% off through Labor Day, guess you caught that already) and I asked for a sample of Blue Hubbard and the woman said it wasn't a color in their color scheme! Help! I WANT that color. Get me the number of it or something.
Thanks ever so much!
Kathy

Melissa Stover said...

Lettered Cottage said...

Hey Kathy!

We had to tell them it was an old Martha Stewart color, and then they were able to pull it up in the computer.

Good luck! :-)

Blue Hubbard - Hands down!

I am the color picker in my house and I have painted in every room all my by self (DH won't help me with my projects). He has never complained once about my color choices at all.

Have fun!

I am a fan of Blue Hubbard :)))

Many years ago, I worked part-time at Restoration Hardware. We had it painted on the walls in the store, but each room looked like it was a different color. That is the beauty of this color, it really changes with its surroundings. So, my vote is SILVER SAGE.

The Silver Sage is my fav!! Beautiful and warms it up!!

Susan said...

Silver Sage gets my vote!

Definitely Silver Sage! Funny thing, I am going to paint my room Silver Sage this week sometime! So, I guess that makes me a little biased...
But, I do think it gives you the best contrast out of the three. With all the other white walls in your room, you could run the risk of having the other two colors looking a tiny bit washed out.
Just my thoughts!

Meghan said...

Silver Sage! :)

Unknown said...

Silver sage gives a better contrast with the bedding. All the best in your results!

Mandy said...

Def the the blue hubbard.

June said...

Blue Hubbard. @->--

Daisydaze said...

I love the Blue Hubbard. It reminds me of waking up to a cool, sunny morning with the water just waiting outside :-) They are all beautiful colors; so, no matter which you pick...you will have a winner!

Anna said...

Blue Hubbard gets my vote - silver sage looks greenish on my walls. Good luck!!

Brandi said...

It's so interesting how different light creates different colors with the same color of paint. My bedroom is 1/2 the value of Silver Sage and shows with VERY blue undertones. From your pictures I don't like the silver sage with the lighting in your room.

I like Sea Salt in your room

Barnwood Urbanist said...

Blue Hubbard! I would paint my whole house in blue hubbard. It helps that I love squash, too.

Unknown said...

I vote for SEA SALT...though i ADORE each of them.
can't wait to find out the winner!!

Diana @ Photodee said...

Your doggie is so cute! Good luck with the painting!
