Paint colors

[ext_3360229]

General rule of thumb is the amount of light in a room will dictate how light/dark the paint color should be. If you have little to no windows/natural light, keep the color light. If you have a ton of natural light you CAN (doesn't mean you have to) go darker. I like to keep thing neutral, but that is me. Neutral is key for resale (no one wants a house with crazy colors). But, I assume you all will be in this house for a long time so that shouldn't be an issue. Like I said, I like neutrals: light tan or khaki color. Almost our whole house is painted that color. We have a lot of brown woodwork/trim in our house & I like that it goes well with that. Another hot color right now, that I've learned from HGTV & Pinterest is called "greyige" (I may have spelled that wrong). It is a cross between grey & beige. Again, very neutral. I'd look at what color your woodwork (any built ins?) or trim is. If it's brown, I'd go with something that compliments it. A lot of people like grey too.

My comment was almost longer than your post...haha!!!

Good luck with your Medieval Tower...LOL. Yes Sy will def need a tree fort or a swingset (you've got experience building those now! LOL). Have fun! I am jealous that you have so much land to play with/build on!!! I might also suggest (which I'm sure Nik is already thinking of this) to make a garden! :) Obv, you'd have to keep the livestock out of it, so that might be a little challenge. What is the first livestock purchase you'll make? Chickens? a Goat? A horse? Which animals are on the list that you'll have? Maybe you should get a cow too. :) Love you guys!!!!!!!
