Design Wednesday!!!

Yesterday was a hectic day… First I had the Governors wife First Lady Scott come read to my classroom….. talk about nerves.. I was so nervous but the kids did great they loved it. I have 1 picture that I could take and they had their own person taking pictures that they are going to give me a CD so I will share more when I get them.. It was such a great experience for the kids to get to meet her and how sweet she was!! 


As for Design Wednesday I think I am going to start taking Wednesday to talk about little projects going on with the new house once we move into the house and the process along the way.. Here is my first couple of questions. It is always nice to put it out there to see if anyone has used the same colors or use the same lights and get feedback!!!! 

We have a formal dinning!!! I am excited to have Thanksgiving and Christmas there but it then goes into my kitchen as shown in the picture. I do not like that brown color lol. but would you do a paint color that was similar to the one in the kitchen or do the same as in the kitchen so it goes?? Right now in the kitchen is SEA SALT and I was thinking to do either of these colors I painted on the wall? Comfort Gray, Woodlawn blue, and Palladian Blue 






Also, we need to get a new foyer light for when you walk in and at the top of the stairs.. I was looking at these 2 pendants. Any thoughts on these??? 






Last GRANITE vs. QUARTZ.. what are your thoughts for those of you that have either or??? Also any recommendations on colors..We are painting the cabinets WHITE DOVE !!!

  4. I don't think your dining room needs to be the same color as the kitchen. I have gray in my dining room and love it! I'm pretty obsessed with gray though! :)

  5. With the white trim, I'd do gray. I love gray paint with white trim (hence all of the gray in our house, haha). And, so funny, I was looking at very similar lights for our entryway and the top of our stairs! I have zero knowledge of quartz counters, but we have granite counters and LOVE them.

  7. I love the first light! I've heard that granite is easier to maintain. Good luck! I can't wait to see the finished result!

  8. My only suggestion is go light on granite.....I have white cabinets and was convinced to put in dark granite to contrast. It is gorgeous when it is all clean and shiny...like the one day every two weeks when my housecleaner comes!! I put light in my bathrooms recently and it has been much better. So fun!
