I loveeee to paint a room but I also get very over I loveeee to paint a room but I also get very overwhelmed about picking the right colour so here are the tips I’ve learned over dozens of painting projects to just narrow it down and get started 🤌🏻 

#diyproject #diyhome #paintsamples #benjaminmoore
I’ve narrowed down the design for my 4-year-old’s kitchen-turned-bedroom to what I’m calling Subtle Treehouse™️. 
I’m thinking this cool tree mural (that closeup looks very story book), dark wood tones and a dusty blue but which one??
All the colours I sampled were:

Rocky Coast 
Dusty Cornflower
Smoke
Little Falls
Blue Spruce 

All from @benjaminmooreaustralia 😍 I like all of them but can’t tell which will be best on all the walls? I’m thinking the lightest one is probably the way to go since there’s not much light in this room? 

#boysbedroom #kidsinterior #benjaminmoore #bluebedroom
Okay so since we last chatted about this kitchen-t Okay so since we last chatted about this kitchen-turned-kids-room plan, you’ve convinced me to do a wallpaper and paint combo but now I’ve unsurprisingly spiralled and have made too many moodboards. 

What colour/design direction do we like? Keeping in mind it is a 4-year-old’s room, but also I want it to grow with him and he’s the most easygoing kid ever and doesn’t have a strong opinion slash changes his mind every 2.5 seconds anyway so someone’s gotta be decisive 😅

#kidsroom #kidsinterior #diyproject
I actually can’t even pick which is the worst an I actually can’t even pick which is the worst and in making this I realised I’m very dramatic and could’ve added 15 more to the list 😂
