Color Contest Winners!

I FINALLY have a few minutes to finish this post!

First....to announce the colors I chose:

Marina Mist, Real Red, and Certainly Celery. YEP - colors you wouldn't think would go together, but look FANTASTIC on the walls! It might be hard to see with all the work still going on - but hopefully once the flooring is in this week and I finally start to move in, everything will come together!

Here are the pictures:

This is my laundry area. We've built the opening so that eventually folding doors will close it off. I plan to also add more shelves and cupboards for all the laundry goodies that need to be stored.

Isn't Certainly Celery pretty on the walls?

Oh, I also installed a motion sensor light, so that when you walk by or open the doors, it turns on. LOVE IT! :)

 

 

 

I wanted one bright wall - and I thought that Real Red (actually Glidden Red Delicious) would be perfect! It's such a pretty color! This little area is going to be my desk and probably some shelves. The color just makes me happy! :) What do you think?

 

 

 

 

 

The last color is Marina Mist - I was worried that it would be too dark on my walls, but since I have the recessed lights in the ceiling and the sliding door, it looks GREAT! (In fact, I tried a lighter color, but it was too "baby blue" for me, so I went back with my cardstock and got Marina Mist instead.)

The left wall in this picture will be covered with white storage cabinets and hopefully a nice countertop that will give me space to put the big tools, like the Big Shot, or my sewing machine.

The right wall will probably have a table for now, and doors will cover the storage area above.

 

Last, I'll show you the pattern we've chosen for the floor. I was lucky enough to score a HUGE deal on Craig's List for some vinyl tile (commercial grade) AND I was able to pick my own colors! I chose to use some red tile accents and then keep everything else neutral. After playing with different designs, this is what we're going to do...

The large red squares made the room look bigger - so I went with that. The rest make a "windmill" pattern, if that's what it's called.

I'm SO excited to finally see the end of this project - almost! :)

Marni,

The colors look gorgeous! I am blown away by how well they work together. I definitely did not do well with the clues! The tile is perfect with your colors. What a wonderful crafting studio. Thank you for the GC. You are so generous.

Oho~ Those floors are looking good~ You've done a great job digging through Craig's list for an awesome deal like that. I like your choice of color! Red and white is a cool color combo for me!
