Reveal of project shed colors!


Are you ready? I have finally chosen interior colors for my shed! It's funny: I didn't take this long to choose colors for my office or any other room, but I went back and forth on these colors for a bit!

OK, drum roll, please!

I chose the Sherwin-Williams Extra White, Reflecting Pool, and I'll add black {like the Tricorn Black} as an accent...and I wanted the Real Red--kind of like in the room below--as another accent, too!

The red in the first picture wasn't quite right, but I loved this Real Red, and I loved how all the colors come together. Do you know how fantastic this Chip It! button is? It is such a great tool. I'm able to go to my Pinterest boards and pull up a picture with colors I really love, and then I just Chip It! It's actually fun! You can also use the Chip It! button like I did, to help you pick out your Sherwin-Williams paint colors! Do you remember I told you how to watch the video and drag the Chip It! button to your toolbar?

Super easy!

Now, where am I painting these lovely colors? I'm going to give you some hints...We ripped out everything in the shed. The cabinets were awful! There was even a mouse hole behind one of the cabinets. Before we put anything back on the walls, my hubby is rewiring everything too. The new walls will be made of strong 8 x 10 pieces of wood!

Above you can see the arrow pointing to our shed. It's attached to our garage, which is kind of unique. I am planning on painting the "new" cupboards one of the colors above, and the wood walls {they are laying out being primed in the above picture} will be another color from my Chip It! palette. I found the cupboards at Habitat for Humanity Restore, and hubby raised them and screwed them together. I also found an enormous solid wood door there and am turning it into a beautiful countertop! There is so much more coming, but I don't want to spoil it. Trust me, it's going to be an amazing reveal {with tons of organizing too}, but there is a lot left to work on! If you follow me on Instagram, you could have seen all this and MORE by now. What do you think of the color choices?
