      It's just amazing what a lot of money can buy...so daring to rip everything out and buy new. Very green of you. Anyone can have this look for about $2 mil.

      Anonymous! I am so glad you could stop by! I've been waiting for a comment like this to pop up on my website. Everyone with a blog/website has one of you blast them from behind the curtain of anonymity and I consider it an honor.

      But seriously, I would like to address the "green" comment that you are somewhat correct on. When you update a home built in the 1950's, guess what?! You put in water-efficient plumbing, new insulation to keep the home heated, new energy-efficient appliances and electrical, all while reusing the original parts of the home, which in essence is kind of recycling.

      And nowhere near $2mil was used, so I will take that as a compliment. I'm glad you like my home ;)

      Sincerely best wishes to you.

    I think it is Sherwin Williams Possibly Pink. The paint color got lost in the remodel but I think that is the color. I am glad you like it! I hesitated to paint my girls room pink since it is really cliche but I really like that it is a barely pink, or rather a pale pink. I would love to paint the wainscot a gray with that pink one day.

      The ottoman in my living room is custom made by a local upholsterer - Rocky Mountain Upholstery. If you have an upholsterer nearby it's totally worth getting a bid for an ottoman - they are usually pretty reasonable to make custom.

Thanks for sharing tour beautiful home with us!

    1. Marianne BrownJanuary 5, 2013 at 11:43 PM

      Thank you so much for the very nice compliment! Yes, the 50/50 mix is used throughout my home on all the trim and walls that have wainscot on them. The finish we used on the wainscot walls and trim is a semi-gloss. Usually I use a semi-gloss on the moldings and eggshell on the walls, but I always use semi-gloss on any paneling, wainscot, or moldings so that is why my walls are semi-gloss. Hope the helps you!
